Ten (10) people, including a Police Officer, were killed yesterday afternoon (Monday 22nd March 2021) after a gunman opened fire in a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. The attack unfolded just before 3pm local time, as customers in the King Soopers store waited in line for COVID-19 vaccines and shopped. According to CNN, among those killed was 51-year-old Officer Eric Talley, who was the first Police Officer to respond to the scene. Talley joined the Boulder Police force in 2010. "He was, by all accounts, one of the outstanding Officers of the Boulder Police Department, and his life was cut far too short," Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said. Police have not yet released details about the rest of the victims as they needed time to notify their families first. A suspect is in custody, but so far Police have declined to comment on his identity, a motive or the specific weapon used. One senior law enforcement source told CNN the weapon used in the shooting was an AR-15-style rifle. Boulder Police tweeted about 2:49pm local time that there was an "Active Shooter at the King Soopers on Table Mesa. AVOID THE AREA." In scanner traffic, Officers radioed that they were in a gunfight. They continued to report that they were being fired at with multiple rounds through at least 3:21pm local time. Ambulances and multiple law enforcement agencies arrived at the store, which is part of a large shopping center with a two-story strip mall next door. "He's armed with a rifle, our Officers shot back and returned fire -- we do not know where he is in the store," an Officer said, according to a transcript of the audio. The shooting comes just days after another mass murderer took the lives of eight (8) people at spas around Atlanta. Together, these tragedies have renewed calls for stricter gun control legislation.
