A gunman killed 10 people, including a police officer, at a grocery store in Colorado as footage showed a handcuffed man covered in blood and injured shoppers lying inside and outside the supermarket.



The incident unfolded just before 3pm local time at the King Soopers grocery store located at 3600 Table Mesa Drive.

Boulder Chief Maris Herold identified the officer who was killed in the shooting as Officer Eric Talley.


Fallen hero

Our hearts go out to all families impacted. There are 10 fatalities. She identified slain Police Officer Eric Talley, who was one of the first on the scene. She calls officer's actions "heroic."

Herold who called Talley a hero, said he was the first on the scene when he was fatally shot. Talley was 51 years old and had been with the Boulder Police Department since 2010.

During an earlier press conference, Boulder Police Department Commander Kerry Yamaguchi confirmed that they have 'a person of interest in custody'.

'We do have a person of interest in custody, that person was injured during the incident, and is currently being treated for their injuries,' Yamaguchi said.

Yamaguchi would not confirm if the person in custody is the same shirtless and bleeding man who was seen being escorted out of the grocery store by two police officers earlier in the day.

The man, who is now being treated for his injuries, was seen with blood running down his leg while he was handcuffed. No charges have been filed.

A motive for the shooting has not been determined but an AR-15 style rifle is believed to have been used.

The DA calls the injured person in custody the alleged shooter.

As the incident unfolded, officers from the Boulder Police Department warned locals to 'avoid the area'.

“He took his job as a police officer very seriously. He had seven children. The youngest is 7 year old. He loved his kids and his family more than anything. He joined the police force when he was 40 years old. He was looking for a job to keep himself off of the front lines and was learning to be a drone operator. He didn’t want to put his family through something like this and he believed in Jesus Christ,” Eric's father, Homer said.

Authorities said they are also unsure about how many people are being treated at local hospitals, but Boulder Community Health confirmed to CNN that they have one patient who was transported to the center from the shooting.

CONDOLENCES:

My heart is breaking as we watch this unspeakable event unfold in our Boulder community. We are making every public safety resource available to assist the Boulder County Sheriff's Department as they work to secure the store. I'm incredibly grateful to the brave men and women who have responded to the scene to help the victims of this senseless tragedy.

This is very much an active situation and we continue to monitor very closely. We ask for your patience as law enforcement works tirelessly to secure the site. Right now, the biggest priority is to let local law enforcement and the City of Boulder do their work to ensure the safety of those involved.

Colorado Governor, Jared Polis

“Today’s events are simply devastating. Like my fellow Coloradans, my heart is heavy, in grief and in anguish. Andrea and I are heartbroken, and we are praying tonight for our entire community in Boulder — for the victims and their families—including a police officer who tragically lost their life in the line of duty— for the survivors, for the frontline grocery store employees, and for the brave first responders and local law enforcement whose heroism truly saved lives. And we offer our heartfelt condolences to the many families mourning their loved ones. The loss of life is truly heartbreaking and unimaginable.

This cannot be our new normal.

We must address the gun violence crisis in our country.

Colorado's 2nd District Congressional member, Joe Neguse

As we continue to hear the news coming out of Boulder, I’m praying for the police, first responders, and those affected by this tragedy.

May God be with us as we make sense of this senseless violence, and may we unify and not divide during this time.

Colorado's 3rd District Congressional member, Lauren Boebert

Words can do no justice to the tragedy that has unfolded this afternoon. Our community will soon grieve our losses, and begin our healing. Our brave police officers and first responders have the gratitude of our entire city.

Boulder Mayor, Sam Weaver

The President has been briefed on the shooting in Colorado and he will be kept up to date by his team as there are additional developments.

White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki

My heart goes out to the families of the Coloradans, including a Boulder police officer, whose lives were tragically taken by a senseless act of gun violence. I am deeply grateful for the swift response from law enforcement and first responders. As the investigation continues, we need to revisit a national conversation about gunnviolencenthat does not regress into partisanship. It's long past time for Congress to take meaningful action to keep deadly weapons out of the wrong hands.

There are steps that the overwhelming majority of Americans want us to take. And they have every right to expect us to finally do somethimg about gun violence in our Country.

Enough is enough.

US Senator for Colorado, Michael Bennet

King Soopers spokesperson offers condolences, thoughts and prayers to employees, customers and first responders. Company will refer all questions to law enforcement.

I suspect Oyibo Fulani herdsmen and bandits

In the media, America is heaven on Earth, while Africa is a shithole, according to one dump goat

Quite sad.
That officer died a hero.

Thank God the suspect was caught. Now we can know his motive.
Unlike here where the cops won't show up and when they do, it's usually when the suspects had fled.
This shows people will die if you give them something ( a country) worthy of dying for

Incoherent jargons as usual.

Must you comment on a thread by force if you have nothing reasonable to contribute?
Sometimes, silence is golden you know?!

Someone will just wake up one morning and pick up a gun, walk into a store and start killing people for no reason or one stupid reason.
God save America.

Just the same way one entered an Asia spa last week and shot multitude of people dead, that has led to many Asians being killed and brutalized all over America in the last one week.
All Asians in America are not safe at all right now as we Ave been seeing on the news.
May God heal the world.

Damnnn niggarrrr
Too bad......

Rest in peace to the dead....
The police man though.....seven children at 50....I think say oyinbo nor dey born plenty

Just look at the guns in the hands of the police men, neat uniform , well dressed....make we no even talk of the army or navy seal ....

But here, kashamadupe make I no talk, na so so cellotape and rubber to hold cartridge..gun don rust, bullet dey change direction when fired.

I can't waste my r.i.p cuz people dey drop here daily so nothing new, Dem still burst police for check point yesterday....

Americans, ban guns...una no go hear. Take a cue from Australia, since they banned guns in the 1990s there has been no mass shooting in that country. But Americans go dey claim right to Second Amendment. Plus gun manufacturing companies keep lobbying and all that trash. Putting money before people’s lives. That is why I have no sympathy when there is a mass shooting in that country.

I guess the shooter got a little bored and simply decided to go do something 'fun' outdoors.

Luckily, he had a 'widow-maker' with him.

Sometimes, these things happen.

Na big wa o

I suspect those two dude kissing, how can they be kissing at a crime scene. They need to be interrogated asap

Sometimes I feel like the american society just likes to create more problems in order to have an excuse or reason to create the solution.... Esp the gun thing..

Whites have been known to be mentally ill and unstable... as messed up as black americans... dey really don't engage in this type of killing... this mass shootings is really bad...

Alot of mad people in america, but yet dey are more concerned about other people's misdeeds...

Rip to the dead

America na random shooting, Nigeria na Bandits, Fulani herdsmen a d Boko boys Dey kill. Everybody with the problems they face

Most of these white guys are not ok mentally. By the time you ask the suspect for his motive, one lawyer will bring one file saying the guy is receiving one mental treatment for an illness I have never heard about.

My people, no where is safe on this planet earth anymore except heaven. Do I want to go there now? Hell no!..but perhaps sometimes in the future!. So help me God

Donsld Trump supporters have turned terrorists ooo
