Burlington police are investigating the shooting of three Palestinian men near the University of Vermont campus Saturday night as a potential hate crime, and the shooter remains at large.
The three victims, all 20-year-old college students, were visiting a Burlington relative of one of the men for Thanksgiving, police said on Sunday afternoon. They were walking along North Prospect Street around 6:30 p.m. when a white man confronted them and began shooting. All three victims are "of Palestinian descent,” police said; two are American citizens and one is a legal resident.
