Boulder Police Officers Rush To Active Shooting Scene At King Soopers On Table Mesa
BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – Boulder Police rushed to an active shooter call at a King Soopers on Table Mesa Drive near South Broadway. The call came in at around 2:30 p.m.
Boulder police says 10 people died, one being a Boulder police officer, said Kerry Yamaguchi, a commander at BPD.
Copter4 saw hundreds of police and first responder vehicles, including SWAT officers, outside the building.
One man without a shirt on was walked out of the store in handcuffs about an hour after the first call.
It appears his right leg was covered in blood. He was led to an ambulance and taken away to a local hospital. Police say they are the only other person who was injured aside from those who were killed.
Police say there is no further threat to the public.
The Boulder District Attorney says they are working to gather all of the details of the situation. Crime scene analysts are inside the store processing evidence.
They add families of the victims are still being notified.
Some customers were seen being led through the parking lot by police.
A reunification center is being set up at the CU Event Center at 950 Regent Drive.
Boulder Community Health tells CBS4 at least one person was brought to their emergency room due to this shooting.
“Heard a loud bang… thought someone dropped something. Then by the third bang everyone was running,” one man told CBS4’s Conor McCue.
McCue reports hearing police make announcements stating “Surrender now!” toward someone either inside the store or perhaps inside a vehicle. The details of the situation are fluid.
