I got caught up. Really surprised that didn't come across my news feed at all.

The reason to ask about fatalities is that the numbers are all over the place. Just wondering if people had seen a more reputable summary.

Ah, gotcha. That makes total sense.

One Boulder officer was killed according to JeffCo Sheriff.

Anyone recall a DA taking over the press conference like this guy just did?

Now, don't consider this throwing stones folks, but instead a serious question. What the heck were they going to do on the roof? VERY few single story commercial buildings have roof access from inside. Virtually all of them have roof access from a locked ladder attached to the side of the building somewhere.

Snipers on the roof across the street? Sure, ok. On the roof of a multi-story building with stair access to inside? That makes sense too.

Seems like being on the roof here would take them out of the game.

It's a grocery store, they have refrigeration equipment up there, there's a roof hatch and no external ladder I see on Google. They were bringing up a demo saw up to cut their way into the roof hatch.

Don't know how credible it is, but one person talking to a local reporter stated some police came in from the roof.

He's your next Dem candidate for some high office.

Speculating but it's a little suspicious that the Boulder AR-15 ban was just struck down. Would it be beyond an anti gun activist to engage in a mass shooting as a statement?

Sad deal guys...my son and I were heading there together some supplies and my phone blew up.

Glad we didn't!

It is a block away from our house and the Flight for Life helicopters landed at the High School (Fairview)

I turned on the HAM radio, SWAT took over the net and all radio operations I could hear.

Around 330pm 6 dead and 1 officer, and they were planning a potential breach at some point. Everything else was just operations chatter through the SWAT CP.

Sad day, for Boulder :(
