Three Palestinian college students, including a student from Haverford College in Pennsylvania, were shot in Vermont on Saturday in what police believe may have been a hate crime stemming from the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The victim from Haverford College has been identified as Kinnan Abdal Hamid, a 20-year-old junior. The incident occurred when Hamid, along with Hisham Awartani and Tahseen Ahmad, were visiting a relative in Burlington for Thanksgiving. The assailant opened fire on them in the street and fled the scene. The victims were taken to the University of Vermont Medical Center, where their conditions remain unknown. Law enforcement is currently conducting a manhunt for the unidentified gunman. Haverford College officials released a statement expressing support and solidarity for Hamid and the victims of the shooting. This tragic incident highlights the ongoing importance of addressing hate crimes and promoting unity within communities.
