A suspect has been taken into custody by the police who is believed to have shot three Palestinian men during a Thanksgiving gathering near the University of Vermont, stated a report in The Associated Press. Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detained 48-year-old Jason J Eaton during a search in Burlington.

Around 6:25 pm on Saturday, the three 20-year-old men were attacked by a white man who, after at least four handgun rounds, wounded them all without saying a word. Two of the men had stable injuries, according to Burlington Police Chief Jon Murad, while the other man had more serious wounds.
