Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Three students from Palestine who are studying at
universities in the United States were shot in Vermont, including one
shot in the back, Saturday night.

"Ramallah Friends School board, administration, staff and community are
deeply distressed by the recent incident involving three of our
graduates — Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdel Hamid and Tahseen Ahmed,"
their alma mater in the West Bank said on Facebook.

"While we are relieved to know that they are alive, we remain uncertain
about their condition and hold them in the light."

The school said that Awartani was shot in the back and Ahmed was shot in
the chest, with Hamid suffering minor injuries. Awartani is an Ivy
League student at Brown University. Hamid studies at Haverford
University and Ahmed studies at Trinity College.

"My cousin Hisham has been shot in the back while walking with his
friends in Burlington for simply wearing kuffiyehs and speaking Arabic,"
Basil Awartani posted on Twitter. "Dangerous performative rhetoric from
U.S. pundits and politicians as well as constant dehumanization of
Palestinians has a real-life cost."

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation's largest Muslim
civil rights and advocacy organization, said Sunday it was offering a
$10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of
the person or people behind the shooting.

"CAIR also called on state and federal law enforcement authorities in
Vermont to investigate a possible bias motive for the shooting," the
civil rights organization said.

The shootings were confirmed by police to local news stations WCAX and
WPTZ. It was not immediately clear if the attack is being investigated
as a hate crime.

Police said officers received reports of multiple people shot around
6:35 p.m. on North Prospect Street and were taken to UVM Medical Center
where they're being treated for non-fatal injuries.

The shooting comes amid a rise in hate crimes against Muslims across the
United States, a phenomenon often categorized as Islamophobia — though
some say the label is not descript or critical enough to describe crimes
against Muslims and people of Arab descent.
