Just heard from my friend on her CU-Boulder-attending daughter (3AM MT) who had been trapped in King Soopers while grocery shopping.
She had been evacuated by police without her cellphone and while physically mostly ok (she injured her ankle somehow during the ordeal or evacuation), she saw much of the violence and the police were keen to interview her in detail. So, while police were able to tell the parents she was ok not too long after arriving at the police department late yesterday, they were not able to reunite until early this morning.
They are going to take her to see about her ankle this morning which is extremely swollen and likewise seek mental health counseling for her, which I think is so smart to do.
I don't have any other details, but reading through the lines I suspect she might have witnessed the killing of the police officer.
I'm happy for my friend, but this is only a single bit of consolation among a storm of horror and sadness. As was the case after Columbine, none of those present who witnessed what had happened will ever be the same again.
for all lost and injured-- physically and spiritually.
