Beschreibung:

A 48-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder over the shooting of three men of Palestinian descent in Vermont.

Jason J Eaton, who appeared in court in Burlington, was arrested near the site of the shooting on Sunday.

Hisham Awartani, Tahseen Ahmed and Kinnan Abdalhamid were attacked near the University of Vermont on Saturday.

The men were speaking Arabic and two were wearing keffiyeh - a traditional scarf - when they were shot.

The three men, who are all aged 20, were visiting the home of one of their relatives over the Thanksgiving holiday when a white man confronted them with a gun outside the property, police said.

He allegedly fired at least four rounds at them without speaking and then fled.

Two of the victims were shot in the torso while the third was hit in his lower extremities, police said. Two are in a stable condition while the third sustained more serious injuries.
