A pro-Israel demonstration in Newton, Massachusetts, turned violent when a man wearing a Palestinian pin tackled a 47-year-old Iraq War veteran, Scott Hayes, after verbally assaulting the protesters. The confrontation escalated from a shouting match, where the assailant accused the protesters of 'defending genocide', to physical violence, culminating in Hayes shooting the man in the stomach during the struggle. The Middlesex District Attorney confirmed that Hayes legally possessed the firearm and is facing charges for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. The assailant, whose identity remains undisclosed, is reported to have sustained life-threatening injuries but is receiving medical attention. Witnesses and video footage captured the incident, which has raised questions about self-defense and legal implications in Massachusetts. The investigation is ongoing, with Hayes set to be arraigned in court soon.
