The state of Colorado on Monday formally charged Boulder terror suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman with eight counts of first degree murder, though it is unclear if anyone died in the weekend attack.
Soliman was charged with eight counts of first-degree murder after deliberation, eight counts of first-degree murder with extreme indifference, first-degree assault and possession of an incendiary device, officials said in a news conference.
Murder charges do not require that a person dies in the state of Colorado, per NBC News.
Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian foreign national, was arrested after allegedly yelling "Free Palestine" and using a makeshift flamethrower on Sunday to attack participants in an outdoor vigil in Boulder, Colo., for Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Eight people were injured, aged 52 to 88, including one in critical condition.
The Justice Department has also charged Soliman with a hate crime involving actual or perceived race, religion, or national origin.
