Vermont man convicted for attempted murder in shootings of Palestinian students near UVM

A Vermont man was convicted of attempted murder for shooting three Palestinian students near the University of Vermont campus. The gun, a Ruger .380, was found to be the weapon used and had been purchased seven months earlier from a Vermont store. The victims—Awartani (Brown University), Aliahmad (Trinity College), and Abdalhamid (Haverford College)—were visiting family and were wounded during the attack; Awartani was paralyzed. The jury’s verdict concludes the criminal case against Eaton, the suspect identified in prosecutors’ accounts, in connection with the holiday weekend shootings.
