Ten people were killed Monday when a gunman opened fire on a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado. One person has been arrested in connection with the shooting and officials said there is no ongoing threat to the public.
One of the victims was identified as Eric Talley, a 51-year-old Boulder police officer.
Police said the person of interest was injured and is being treated at the hospital. Earlier, images from the CBS Denver helicopter showed authorities escorting a handcuffed shirtless man who appeared to have a bleeding leg from the scene, but at a news conference Monday evening officials did not confirm whether that man is the person of interest.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene when several strong blows came out of the grocery store. One man said he first thought someone had dropped something inside the store, but on the third shot, he said, everyone started running.
“I can’t believe it’s happening in Boulder,” he told CBS Denver.
The parking lot outside the store was filled with police vehicles, officers and lifeguards who drove to the site on Monday afternoon. At 14:49 local time, the Boulder Police Department warned residents of an active shooter on Twitter.
Governor Jared Polis he tweeted, “Like my fellow Coloradans, I am watching closely the events unfolding at King Soopers in Boulder. My prayers are accompanied by our fellow Coloradans in this time of sadness and pain as we learn more about the scope of the tragedy. “
