We know our community is hurting deeply right now. While we continue to mourn the tragedy that occurred last week, we, reluctantly, feel compelled to address another difficult topic with our families – sexual violence.

Last week’s shooting at King Soopers has shaken us and our community to our very core. Words cannot capture the grieving that we and our community are going through right now

We are deeply saddened by the horrifying act of violence that happened in our community on Monday afternoon. Our deepest condolences are with the 10 people who died and their families, including Boulder Police Officer Eric Talley, who by all accounts heroically rushed into the King Soopers, along with other officers, knowing that they would face an active shooter.
