Three Palestinian students were shot and wounded Saturday night, according to a police report.

The Burlington Police Department in Vermont reported that two of the three 20-year-old men are in stable condition, while the other is facing more serious injuries.

The victims were on their way to a family dinner, according to Husam Zomlot, the head of the Palestinian Mission to the United Kingdom. The three are Palestinian students attending college in the United States.

A spokesperson for FBI Albany, which covers Vermont, said in a statement following news of the shooting that the bureau was investigating the incident.

Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a statement on the shooting in a social media post on Sunday.

"It is shocking and deeply upsetting that three young Palestinians were shot here in Burlington, VT. Hate has no place here, or anywhere. I look forward to a full investigation. My thoughts are with them and their families," the Vermont independent lawmaker said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
