It made me sick transcribing the scanner and I luckily stopped right before it was thankfully taken offline. I don’t think I’ll be doing that again — after all these years of wishing most metro areas had scanners public, and transcribing activity before, there’s a very fine line between being comfortable with what is going on and jeopardizing a potential scene. I learned a big lesson in my own need for details. Listening in is one thing, but transcribing for the public to read is another. It isn’t sitting right with me even though I know I didn’t do anything “wrong.” Some things hit different than others.
 
Thank you for the link. Photos show evacuated "healthcare workers" and DM captions say the store was a site for COVID19 vaccines at the pharmacy. Did they mislabel employees in black aprons as shoppers? Maybe it's both.

"Shoppers held hands as they were evacuated from the supermarket by police officers Monday afternoon"
 
Police chief says incident on 17th Street was not related.

Don't know how many fatalities or how many are at hospital. Still investigating.

Not aware of shooters relationship to King Soopers or motive or anything.

Just began processing the crime scene.

Pathetic press conference so far. They know a LOT more than they are saying.

It does hit different listening and transcribing in real time. :(
Sending you a virtual hug.

Yes it can be wrenching and frightening. WS keeps the scanner transcripts and all that separate and private to signed in members for good reasons. Remember folks, no scanner chat on the main forum threads.
 
It must be so difficult to try to hold a press conference when the public wants to know everything, but so little is known to tell at this point. It’s just an impossible horrible tragic situation and nothing can make it better. I am so sad.
 
Multiple people, including a Boulder police officer, have been killed at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, authorities said Monday. A person of interest was taken into custody, police Commander Kerry Yamaguchi said.

Video taken by an eyewitness to the supermarket shooting appeared to show motionless individuals on the ground inside and outside the store, and purported gunshots are heard.

It is deeply saddening that lives were lost there this afternoon.

My heart is with the loved ones who have suffered a tremendous loss today. May they hold one another close during this unfathomable time.
