Victims
Eight injured, four women and four men, aged between 52 and 88 years, were taken to hospitals in the Metropolitan Region of Denver, state capital, reported Boulder officials.
The FBI initially stated that six people were injured in the attack, with the number being updated hours later.

he acted alone and is not part of a larger group or network, Michalek said. In 2005, his entry visa in the United States was denied, according to sources to CNN.
It is unclear when or as the suspect entered the country.
