The family’s nine-year-old boy was hurt, but survived. A 21-year-old man faces four counts of first-degree murder in what prosecutors say was an act of terrorism.Esa Islam, a cousin of Yumnah, says the attack has changed his life and left a gaping wound in his heart.
He says politicians should follow their supportive words with actions to prevent similar attacks from happening in the future. In the spring and summer of 2020, Yumnah Afzaal dedicated many hours to creating a mural at her elementary school, a place her friend says she loved. Police say Yumnah, along with her parents and grandmother were intentionally killed by a driver in a pickup truck in June of this year, targeted because of their Islamic faith.Our Morning Update and Evening Update newsletters are written by Globe editors, giving you a concise summary of the day’s most important headlines.
