The King Soopers shooting: A question and a factoid

Was anyone wounded except the one guy I saw get into an ambulance? He didn't seem too hurt. I haven't heard of any more. Was the shooter trying kill execution style?

And the shooter was born three days before the Columbine Massacre. Weird.

He used an AR-15 at point-blank range and/or a hand-gun at close range. Hard to just be wounded with that. Like liquefying watermelons, I'm afraid.

who walked to the ambulance and got on a "gurney" that was put into the ambulance. He was not handcuffed like the shooter.

So, that's all I can tell you. Maybe, like my friend's daughter (who injured her ankle in the evacuation), there may have been someone injured or ill that was not wounded by the assailant.

years since my dear daughter and son-in-law found it. But I have been disappointed that more Colorado people writing has been so limited especially on political subjects that I hope Coloradans are interested in.

Yesterday was one of the saddest and most frustrating days of my long life. I have lived in Colorado since 1975, 20 years in Denver and 21 years in Boulder. I have lived in Indiana, Oklahoma, D.C, northern Virginia, Florida, and Chicago and always been very interested in politics, education, and all the many subjects DU people write on. I have been very fortunate to travel to other nations also.

Boulder has always been a great place to live for liberal, outdoor, educated, caring persons and for those seeking a different life. I have lived through terrible tragedies in Colorado; the media has covered our recent tragedy well but I am wondering how many DU members have any idea what we (as well as many other Americans and citizens of other countries) are going through and how much we long for our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to have a better., not wealthier, life.
