Alleged Firearms Denial, Firebombing Arrest in Colorado Springs

Last week in Colorado Springs, several alleged criminal incidents were reported across the city. In the area near downtown, Colorado Public Radio reports that in November, a subject later identified as Mohamad Soliman attempted to purchase firearms at a local gun store, but was denied due to lacking legal status. Instacheck notifications were sent to the Colorado Springs Police Department and other agencies. No law enforcement action was immediately taken at that time. The following month, Soliman allegedly attempted to obtain a concealed carry permit from El Paso County and was again denied, with notifications sent to authorities. Six months after these gun-related denials, Soliman was arrested in Boulder on allegations of firebombing a public demonstration, following a police interview in which he described teaching himself to make incendiary devices specifically because he was unable to legally obtain firearms. The investigation is now under the jurisdiction of authorities in Boulder, but Colorado Springs police examined their records and determined no prior criminal activity in the city had directly triggered further action after the denied gun purchase. The Soliman case remains under investigation.

There were no additional incidents reported by official public sources that indicated police are presently seeking public assistance with suspect descriptions for crimes committed in Colorado Springs during this period. Dockets from the Colorado Judicial Branch show a number of scheduled advisement hearings and appearance warrants in El Paso County, though details on specific incident locations or brief descriptions were not publicly available.

Review of available data has not indicated significant recurring patterns or notable trends for violent crime, property crime, or auto thefts citywide over the past seven days. Listeners are encouraged to remain observant and report any suspicious activity or information related to ongoing investigations directly to the Colorado Springs Police Department at [phone] or through Crime Stoppers at (719) 634-STOP.
