警方称，周一下午，一名持枪歹徒在科罗拉多州博尔德市的金·苏斯杂货店开枪，造成包括一名警察在内的10人死亡。

警方已经确认这名警官是51岁的埃里克·塔利。自2010年以来，他一直是博尔德警察局的一员。

一名执法人员告诉美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)，官员们最初对一份关于有人在商店停车场被枪杀的报告做出了回应，当他们到达现场时，一名携带长枪的嫌疑人向他们开火。特瑞是第一个到达现场的警官，他在现场被枪杀。

根据博尔德警察局指挥官克里·山口的说法，一名嫌疑人在与警方的对抗中受伤并被拘留。

“我们的心...博尔德警察局局长玛丽斯·赫罗尔德(Maris Herold)在周一晚上的新闻发布会上说:“向这一可怕事件的受害者伸出援手。”他赞扬了特瑞在警察部门接到枪击电话和“一个可能拿着巡逻步枪的人”的电话后，对这一事件做出的“英勇行动”。

“特瑞警官对现场作出了回应，他是第一个到达现场的，他被枪杀了，”赫罗尔德说。

其他几个执法机构很快到达现场，包括国家特警队。

山口在周一晚上的新闻发布会上告诉记者:“如果没有迅速的反应，我们不知道是否会有更多的生命损失。”

指挥官和博尔德地区检察官迈克尔·迈克尔·道赫蒂在新闻发布会上说，他们将在未来几小时内发布更多关于死者的信息，包括受害者的确切人数，因为他们仍在通知家属。

官员们没有立即确定嫌疑人的身份，但他们说，他被送往一家地区医院接受治疗。

山口没有透露动机，但表示此时没有其他嫌疑人。

“博尔德今天遭受了可怕的大规模枪击...这不是我们在科罗拉多州遇到的第一起大规模枪击事件，”博尔德县地方检察官迈克尔·道赫蒂周一晚上说。

多尔蒂补充说:“我非常同情埃里克·特瑞的家人、他所爱的人和他的同事。”。“他的生命太短暂了。我还想强调，我对今天在金苏斯遇难的所有遇难者感到非常抱歉。这些人每天都在忙着购物，他们的生活被现在被拘留的枪手突然而悲惨地缩短了。我向受害者和科罗拉多州人民承诺，我们将确保正义。”

特瑞的父亲荷马·特瑞在儿子死后向美国广播公司分享了一份声明。

“他不想让他的家人经历这样的事情，”荷马·特瑞说，“他相信耶稣·克里斯。”

Boulder shooting: 10 deaths, including police officer, suspect in custody

A total of 10 people were killed, including a police officer, after a gunman opened fire at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, Monday afternoon, police said.

The officer has been identified by police as Eric Talley, 51. He had been a part of Boulder Police Department since 2010.

A law enforcement source told ABC News officers initially responded to a report of someone being shot in the parking lot of the store, and when they arrived at the scene, a suspect carrying a long gun opened fire on them. Talley was the first officer to arrive at the scene, where he was fatally shot.

A suspect was wounded during the confrontation with police and taken into custody, according to Boulder Police Department Commander Kerry Yamaguchi.

"Our hearts ... go out to the victims of this horrific incident," said Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold at a Monday night news conference, praising Talley for his "heroic action" in responding to the incident after the police department received phone calls of shots fired and of a "possible person with a patrol rifle."

"Officer Talley responded to the scene, was first on the scene, and he was fatally shot," Herold said.

Several other law enforcement agencies soon arrived at the scene, including the state SWAT team.

"Without that quick response, we don't know if there would have been more loss of life," Yamaguchi told reporters at a news conference Monday evening.

The commander and Boulder District Attorney Michael Michael Dougherty said at the news conference that they will be releasing more information on the deceased victims, including the exact number of victims, within the next few hours, as they are still notifying families.

The suspect was not immediately identified by officials, but they said he was sent to an area hospital to be treated for his injuries.

Yamaguchi did not reveal a motive, but said there are no additional suspects at this time.

"Boulder has suffered a terrible and horrific mass shooting today ... this is not the first mass shooting that we have had in the state of Colorado," said Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty Monday night.

"My heart goes out to Eric Talley's family, his loved ones and his colleagues," Dougherty added. "His life was cut far too short. I also want to stress how incredibly sorry I am for all the victims killed today at King Soopers. These were people going about their day, shopping, and their lives were cut abruptly and tragically short by the shooter who is now in custody. I promise the victims and the people of Colorado that we will secure justice."

The police department shared a photo of Talley on Twitter Monday night. "Rest In peace Officer Eric Talley. Your service will never be forgotten #BoulderShooting," they wrote.

Matthew T. Kirsch, acting U.S. attorney of the District of Colorado, also reacted to the deadly shooting.

"This has been a tragic event," he said, adding that he wants to assure both the families of the victims and the community that they will continue to support this investigation as completely as they can.

"My heart goes out to the families of the Coloradans, including a Boulder police officer, whose lives were tragically taken by a senseless act of gun violence,"tweetedColorado Sen. Michael Bennet Monday night. "I am deeply grateful for the swift response from law enforcement and first responders. Enough is enough."

Talley's father, Homer Talley, shared a statement to ABC News following his son's death.

"He took his job as a police officer very seriously. He had seven children. The youngest is 7 years old. He loved his kids and his family more than anything," he said.

Homer Talley said the late officer joined the police force when he was 40 years old and recently started training to be a drone operator so he could get a job to keep himself off of the front lines.

"He didn't want to put his family through something like this," Homer Talley said, "and he believed in Jesus Chris."

The Boulder Police Department took to Twitter at 2:49 p.m. local time to warn residents of an "active shooter" and tell them to stay away from the area.

Then, at 7:10 p.m. ET, they tweeted out an alert asking people about three miles from the shopping center "to shelter in place" while officers responded to a report of an "armed, dangerous individual."

The order was lifted around 8:41 p.m. ET, and Yamaguchi said it was not connected to the store shooting. The investigation is ongoing, and police said anyone with information about the incident should call 303-441-3333.

Eyewitnesses shared videos from the parking lot of the King Soopers grocery store on social media Monday afternoon. The videos show officers ordering a suspect to come out of the store with his hands up and surrender. Videos from inside the store show shoppers and employees trying to flee or hide.

Andy Arellano, a store employee, told ABC affiliate KMGH he was concerned for his co-workers and shoppers as shots rang out.

"We were like sitting ducks, you know, and that's one thing that I'm reliving it and looking at it in my head. And that, that bothers me, I'm still shivering, I'm still shaking," he said.

Eyewitness Andrew Hummel told KMGH he was at a store when he heard the gunshots and ran out of the shopping center with others.

"Everybody kind of sprinted toward the back of the store," Hummel told the station.

Hummel said his roommate, who works at the store where the shooting happened, went to a storage room and hid there with some customers, texting Hummel and others updates.

"Yeah, I think one of the biggest scary text[s] that he sent he just said, 'I love you guys, like thank you for everything, in case, like, things go bad,'" Hummel said. "That was a really hard text ... that's something that I would never want to hear from any of my friends, because I knew the seriousness of what was going on and I was horrified. It was truly horrifying."

Sarah Moonshadow, another eyewitness, told the station she was in the supermarket with her son when she heard four gunshots.

"We were hiding down, kind of in the self-checkout area, and I just knew, like, this is a problem," she said. "And I started counting in between shots and then I just grabbed Nicholas, I said, 'Move now.'"

President Joe Biden has been briefed on the shooting, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday night.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has also been briefed, a Department of Justice official told ABC News.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polistweeted outa statement Monday afternoon reacting to the shooting.

"Like my fellow Coloradans, I am closely watching unfolding events at King Soopers in Boulder," he wrote. "My prayers are with our fellow Coloradans in this time of sadness and grief as we learn more about the extent of the tragedy."

In another statement later Monday evening, Polis asked for residents to have patience as the investigation continues.

"Right now, the biggest priority is to let local law enforcement and the City of Boulder to do their work to ensure the safety of those involved," he said.

Kroger, the parent company of King Soopers, released a statement expressing their condolences and sympathies to their associates and customers and thanking the "first responders who so bravely responded to this tragic situation." They also said they are cooperating with investigators.

United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, the union that represents the store workers, said on Twitter Monday night that they are also monitoring the situation.

Denver-based MLB team the Colorado Rockies shared a statement about the shooting Monday night. "The Colorado Rockies are devastated by today's senseless tragedy in Boulder," they tweeted. "Our heart breaks for the lives needlessly lost and our thoughts are with everyone affected by this shooting. We are grateful for the brave heroes and first responders who acted quickly."
