10 Dead In A Mass Shooting At A Grocery Store In Colorado In US by onebani: 8:38am On Mar 23, 2021
Ten people were killed at a King Soopers grocery store on Monday, including a Boulder police officer, after a shooter opened fire on customers and responding officers.

The fatal shooting at the King Soopers store comes less than a week after shooting attacks at three spas in the Atlanta area left eight people dead.

Law enforcement officials said the suspect, who carried out the attack with a rifle, was in custody, but they offered scarce details about the deadly shooting, including any information about a possible motive.

Boulder Police Commander Kerry Yamaguchi said in a brief news conference that the suspect was being treated for an injury. Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said officials were still working to notify family members of the victims.

Boulder Officer Eric Talley, 51, who was among the first to respond, was killed by the shooter, Police Chief Maris Herold said. Herold vowed that police will “work night and day” to complete the investigation, which she said will take no less than five days.

“I want to reassure the community that they are safe and that we will try to make our best to identify the victims and work with the coroner’s office as prompt as possible,” said Herold, holding back tears.

Dozens of emergency vehicles lined the streets around the store Monday afternoon during a massive response to what police said was an “active shooter” situation at the store. Witnesses described a chaotic scene, with customers rushing to exits at the front and back of the supermarket after shots were fired. One witness told local media that the shooter did not say anything before opening fire.

Ryan Borowski, 37, had gone to King Soopers to grab a bag of chips and a soda.

Borowski said he was walking up to the checkout area at about 2:30 p.m., when he heard a loud bang.

“My first hope was that it was an employee who dropped something,” he said. Then came the second bang. “By the third bang I was running. It was bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! I was thinking around eight.”

He added: “I saw a woman shorter than myself with a terrified look on her face running toward me, and at this point I turned, and people were saying things like: ‘Run, run! Go, run!’ Everybody was running, and everybody was scrambling.”

Borowski and a group of customers and employees ran toward the back of the store in a line, placing their hands on top of one another’s backs so they wouldn’t leave anyone behind, he said. “Don’t stop! Keep going!” he recounted telling people.

The group exited through the loading dock in the back of the store, he said, then hid under a semi-truck for a moment before running up a hill to the parking lot of a nearby Whole Foods.
