Boulder Chamber shares grief, condolences after King Soopers killings

BOULDER — The Boulder Chamber is expressing “shock and grief” at the mass shooting that left ten dead, including  Boulder Police officer Eric Talley, at the King Soopers in the Table Mesa shopping center Monday. 

“We offer our condolence and support during this time knowing that they can’t fully capture the compassion and sorrow we wish to convey,” Chamber president John Tayer wrote in a statement. 

The Boulder Star on Flagstaff Mountain was lit Monday evening in honor of the victims.

Boulder law enforcement officials have yet to release many details about the victims, suspect or potential motive.

“There will be much more to say about this incident and information to share in the days to come. There will be avenues to support those who have suffered the loss of loved ones. There also will be talk – and hopefully action – in the effort to curb these terrible incidents, nationally and now locally,” Tayer said. “The Boulder Chamber will stand with all of you in every facet of a supportive and deliberate response to such a tragic incident. For the moment, though, we simply unite in our shared grief for the tragic taking of life from such a violent act and we send our heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost loved ones. We also send our deepest thanks to today’s first responders – both our local units and those from across the region – for their swift action and bravery.”
