The terrifying hour as employees and shoppers hid when a gunman went on a shooting spree at a Colorado grocery store

A gunman, wearing an armored or tactical vest, had just shot an elderly man outside the King Soopers on Monday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado. Inside the supermarket, staff watched in disbelief as the gunman stood over the man and fired again and again.
The gunman turned around and entered the store. More shots rang out. Employees and some shoppers fled and hid -- some to the back, some up the stairs to a room, some inside a pharmacy -- as the suspect roamed aisles, according to witnesses and an affidavit for an arrest warrant.
When shopper Ryan Borowski first heard a gunshot, it took a terrified woman running toward him for him to realize he should scatter, too.
"I turned and kept up with her, and we all ran down the aisle toward the back of the store together," where they huddled with employees. "I saw a lot of very wide eyes. I'm sure my eyes were just as terrified as everybody else's."
Calls poured in to 911 dispatchers, the first around 2:30 p.m. local time, according to police. By 3:28 p.m. it was all over.

And what had been a regular day of errands and chores in this university town situated besides the Rocky Mountains northwest of Denver was shattered forever. While some shoppers and employees managed to hide in terror, 10 people were shot dead by a lone assailant.
Monday's victims were: Boulder police Officer Eric Talley, 51; store manager Rikki Olds, 25; Denny Stong, 20; Neven Stanisic, 23; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; Jody Waters, 65.

A suspect, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, was taken into custody at the store after a gunfire exchange with responding police, authorities said. He is facing 10 counts of murder in the first degree, and his first court appearance is scheduled for Thursday morning.
Inside the King Soopers, pharmacy technician Maggie Montoya heard the first shot and saw everyone around her scatter, she told CNN's Anderson Cooper. She hid under a desk while a pharmacist held a chair against the door. She heard a series of gunshots and screams -- but then silence, broken only by the store music and ringing phones.
Eventually, she said, she heard the gunman give up, seemingly right outside her door, with him telling officers: "I surrender. I'm naked."
The suspect had removed all of his clothing down to his shorts and was bleeding from a "through and through" gunshot wound in his leg when he turned himself into the police, the affidavit said.
Though the suspect is in custody, Colorado residents and officials are left to grapple with the violence that has impacted the community they felt so safe in.
"This is just where everybody goes to pick up groceries," Gov. Jared Polis said. "Never ever does it cross your mind that that trip to the grocery store could be your last moments on earth."

The shooting in Boulder, which comes less than a week after eight people were killed in shootings at three Atlanta-area spas, has stoked fear and confusion.
"I promise that all of us here will work tirelessly ... to make sure that the killer is held absolutely and fully accountable for what he did," Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said Tuesday at a news conference.

The motive in the Boulder killings -- one of several mass shootings in the US over the past week -- isn't immediately known.
There was no indication of alcohol or drug use, the affidavit said.
An AR-15-style pistol, modified with an arm brace, was used in the shooting, a senior law enforcement source told CNN on condition of anonymity. A search of the suspect's home turned up other weapons, the source said.
"A photograph of the items that the male removed on scene included a green tactical vest, a rifle (possible AR-15), a semiautomatic handgun, a pair of jeans and a dark colored long-sleeved shirt. There was much blood around the items," the affidavit said.
The suspect did not answer officers' questions about other suspects, but he did ask to speak to his mother, the affidavit said.

Forster said she met Fountain during a community theater production in the late 1980s and later hired her to work at her nonprofit organization, where Fountain worked for 17 years.
"She would be the first person that people would see when they walked in the door of the nonprofit building that we operate, and she just would take care of everybody. She was calm and reassuring when things were stressful," Forster said.
