Yesterday’s mass shooting was personal for many of Colorado’s elected officials, including Gov. Jared Polis, a longtime resident of the city. Polis said he has shopped at King Soopers on Table Mesa frequently.
Speaking in front of a patrol vehicle belonging to Boulder police officer Eric Talley, who was killed while responding to the attack, Polis called the shooting a horror and terror for the entire state.
“This is a pain that we need to sit with,” he said. “We can t let ourselves ever become numb to the pain because we simply can t let this be accepted as anything close to normal occurrence.”
