According to ABC News, there are at least six victims. That would have been confirmed by the authorities to the news channel. A stranger opened fire in a branch of the supermarket chain King Sooper. Agents who arrived on the scene were fired on. The Atlanta Journal Constitution also mentions six deaths, including an agent, but the authorities do not confirm that an agent has also died. No statements are made about the number of injuries.
A video shows that a man in shorts was taken away in handcuffs. Whether this concerns the shooter and whether he was arrested is still unclear. It was visible that one of his legs was covered with blood.
Another video shows victims lying on the floor in and outside the store. Shots are also heard. You will find the shocking images at the bottom of this article.

Two eyewitnesses speak of a cold-blooded attack. They saw the shooter come in. “He said nothing at all. He just came in and started shooting, ”one told Denver Post. The other added: “He fired a few shots, then paused and then fired a few more times. It was not a hail of bullets. ” The two men escaped through the back entrance of the store.
Even two hours after the shooting started, the shopping center where the supermarket is located is still teeming with police officers. Armed officers have been spotted on the roof of the building. Apparently people were still not sure whether the shooter or shooters were still in the supermarket.
Second suspect
In the meantime, a great alarm has also been raised elsewhere in the city. A second suspect might be in the vicinity of a secondary school. People are advised to stay indoors, but according to ABC News that would be a false alarm.
Governor Jared Polis has responded with disgust via Twitter.
