>>> WE’RE CONTINUING TO FOLLOW
THIS DEVELOPING STORY OUT OF
BOULDER, COLORADO TODAY IN WHICH
THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE
FATALITIES, SOME SORT OF MASS
SHOOTING AT A SUPERMARKET IN
BOULDER NEAR TO THE UNIVERSITY
OF COLORADO CAMPUS.
WE OPENED THE SHOW THIS HOUR
WITH A LIVE REPORT FROM LOCAL
POLICE OFFICIALS WHO WERE
SHARING INFORMATION, WHICH WAS
NOT MUCH.
THEY SAID THERE WERE MULTIPLE
FATALITIES, INCLUDING A BOULDER
POLICE OFFICER.
THEY WOULD NOT SAY HOW MANY WERE
KILLED, SAYING THEY WERE STILL
PROCESSING THE SPEED.
THEY SAID A SUSPECT WAS IN
CUSTODY AND IS RECEIVING MEDICAL
ATTENTION AFTER BEING WOUNDED IN
THE INCIDENT, BUT WE KNOW VERY LITTLE AFTER THAT.
LITTLE AFTER THAT.
ANNE HAYNES IS AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF COLORADO AND SHE JOINS US BY
PHONE.
ANN
ANNE, THANK YOU FOR MAKING TIME
TONIGHT.
>> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.
>> I UNDERSTAND YOU LIVE NEAR
WHERE THE STHOOGTHOOTING WAS TOD
WERE ABLE TO WITNESS AT LEAST
SOME OF WHAT HAPPENED.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED?
>> MY ROOMMATE AND I LIVE
DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM
THE KING SOOPERS.
WE INITIALLY HEARD WHAT SOUNDED
LIKE MAYBE FIREWORKS OR A CAR
ENGINE FAILING, BUT THEN THE
SOUNDS KEPT GOING AND THEY WERE
GUNSHOTS.
SO I LOOKED OUTSIDE MY WINDOW,
AND I SAW TWO THINGS.
I SAW A BODY IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE PARKING LOT THAT I LATER
REALIZED WAS A DEAD BODY BECAUSE
THEY BROUGHT A BODY BAG, AND
THEN I SAW THE SHOOTER.
HE HAD THE RIFLE.
HE WAS FIRING AT SOMEBODY.
IT WAS BLOCKED BY A CAR, BUT I’M
FAIRLY SURE HE WAS FIRING AT
SOMEBODY, AND HE TURNED AROUND
AND HE RAN UP THE HANDICAP RAMP
INTO THE BUILDING, AND THEN
AFTER THAT I SAW PEOPLE
SCREAMING AND RUNNING OUT OF THE
BUILDING.
>> SO YOU SAW HIM WITH A RIFLE,
WITH A LONGGUN IN THE PARKING
LOT, FIRING IN THE PARKING LOT
BEFORE ENTERING THE SUPERMARKET?
>> YES, I DID.
>> DID YOU -- COULD YOU -- WHAT
DID YOU MAKE OF IT AT THE
MOMENT?
WAS IT CLEAR TO YOU THAT HE
WASN’T A POLICE OFFICER, THAT
THIS WASN’T SOMEBODY WHO WAS
RESPONDING TO THE SCENE?
WHY DID YOU BELIEVE THAT HE, AT
THAT POINT, WAS THE PERPETRATOR,
IN EFFECT, OF THE ATTACK?
>> MAINLY BECAUSE THE -- WE
HADN’T HEARD ANYTHING OF THE
SHOOTER YET.
THE POLICE HADN’T ARRIVED.
I DON’T THINK THE POLICE YET HAD
BEEN INFORMED AT THAT POINT.
I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE VERY
BEGINNING OF IT WHEN HE HAD JUST
ENTERED THE PARKING LOT.
HE DIDN’T LOOK LIKE A POLICE
OFFICER.
HE LOOKED PANICKED, HE LOOKED
LIKE HE WAS FIRING SORT OF IN A
PANICKED WAY, AND I KNEW THAT IT
WASN’T A POLICE OFFICER OR
ANYBODY THAT SHOULD BE HANDLING
A RIFLE.
>> ANNA, IN TERMS OF HOW THIS
UNFOLDED OVER THE COURSE OF THE
DAY, WE KNOW THERE WAS
ULTIMATELY A MASSIVE POLICE
RESPONSE JUST BECAUSE WE’VE BEEN
ABLE TO SEE IT OVER THE COURSE
OF THE DAY.
ABOUT HOW LONG DID EVERYTHING
TAKE TO UNFOLD?
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU SAW THE VERY
FIRST INSTANCES OF THIS, WHAT
YOU’RE DESCRIBING AS EVEN THE
VERY FIRST POLICE OFFICERS WERE
VISIBLE TO YOU ON-SITE.
HOW MANY HOURS OVER THE COURSE
OF THE DAY DID THIS TAKE PLACE?
>> SO THAT HAPPENED AROUND 2:30
OR 3:00 OUR TIME WHEN I FIRST
WITNESSED THE SCENE.
MY ROOMMATE AND I HAVE BEEN
STARING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE
SCENE FOR -- SINCE THEN, AND
IT’S BEEN LIKE FOUR OR FIVE
HOURS THAT WE’VE JUST BEEN
STARING.
WE CAN’T REALLY DO ANYTHING
ELSE.
>> YEAH.
ANNA HAYNES, A STUDENT AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER.
YOU AND YOUR ROOMMATE WERE IN --
I MEAN, UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO BE
CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE IT, LUCKY
ENOUGH TO NOT BE CAUGHT UP IN IT
YOURSELVES, BUT YOU GUYS NEED TO
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES GIVEN
