Joan Lutz, places a note that says, "Thank you police officers, our hearts are grieving," at a memorial for Boulder officer Eric Talley, who was killed yesterday during a mass shooting at a grocery store. The gun didn't look like a rifle featured in old Western movies, Alissa's sister-in-law told police, according to an arrest affidavit. Records from Arvada West High School show he was on the wrestling team during two seasons ending in 2018, according to Cameron Bell, a spokeswoman for the school district. NOT THE FIRST MASS SHOOTING IN COLORADOColorado has been the site of some of the most shocking episodes of gun violence in US history, including the 2012 mass shooting at a movie theatre in Aurora and the 1999 rampage at Columbine High School near Littleton. The two mass shootings are likely to intensify pressure on Democratic President Joe Biden to fulfill his campaign pledge to enact tougher gun limits.
