  "account": "A man has been found guilty of attempting to murder three Palestinian American students in Vermont in late 2023, prosecutors announced on Monday. Jason Eaton was convicted on three counts of attempted second-degree murder for the shooting of Hisham Awartani, Tahseen Aliahmad, and Kinnan Abdalhamid on November 25, 2023, in Burlington, Vermont. The convicted shooter, Eaton, was found not guilty by reason of insanity, and he will be sentenced at a later date. The jury trial lasted until Monday, and he faces a sentence of up to life without parole, with a minimum term of 20 years on each count. The three students, aged 20 at the time, were walking in Burlington when Eaton approached and shot them. Awartani remained paralyzed from the chest down, Aliahmad was wounded in the chest, and Abdalhamid was struck in the glute while running away. Their families expressed relief that justice had been served.",
