Katie Couric Instagram – 🚨Three Palestinian college students were shot in Burlington, Vermont, on Saturday evening, according to police. According to @cnn reporting, the 20-year-old men are all receiving medical care, according to a Sunday police news release. “Two are stable, while one has sustained much more serious injuries.” The students were walking on Prospect Street while visiting a relative in Burlington for the Thanksgiving holiday when “they were confronted by a white man with a handgun,” says the release. “Without speaking, he discharged at least four rounds from the pistol and is believed to have fled on foot,” police said. Police said that two of the victims are US citizens and one is a legal resident. Two of the three students were wearing keffiyehs, traditional Palestinian scarves, according to the police department. Two were shot in the torso and one in the “lower extremities.” The FBI said Sunday it was “prepared to investigate” the incident. In a joint statement, the victims’ families urged law enforcement to investigate the attack as a hate crime. “We will not be comfortable until the shooter is brought to justice,” they said. “No family should ever have to endure this pain and agony. Our children are dedicated students who deserve to be able to focus on their studies and building their futures.” The statement, released by the Institute for Middle East Understanding, identified the students as Hisham Awartani, a student at Brown University in Rhode Island; Kinnan Abdalhamid, a student at Haverford College in Pennsylvania; and Tahseen Ahmad, a student at Trinity College in Connecticut. This is a developing story with more updates to come.
