Colorado: At least 10 people, including a cop, were killed by a gunman at a grocery store here on Monday, police said.

The injured shooter is in custody, said Michael Dougherty, district attorney for Boulder County, located 50 kilometres northwest of Denver.

Among those deceased was 51-year-old “heroic” police officer Eric Talley, who was the first to respond to the scene at a King Soopers supermarket, said police chief Maris Herold.

“We know of 10 fatalities at the scene, including one of our Boulder PD officers… Officer Tally responded to the scene — was first on the scene — and he was fatally shot,” Herold was quoted as saying by news agency AFP.
