Boulder police were seen leading a person away in handcuffs.
He’s bleeding, but able to walk.
The cuffed person was put on a stretcher and taken away in an ambulance.
He’s on a stretcher now, but his hands were clearly behind his back as he walked over to the ambulance. pic.twitter.com/UHzlogods0

DEVELOPING…please check back for updates.
Wondered when more shootings would come under this demonrat pres. More ammunition for their unconstitutional anti-gun laws. Was this shooter another liberal demonrat like over 90% of the other shooters since 1968?????
You elected a sodomite dog for Governor. Reap the whirlwind Colorado.
Let’s hope the disease in Colorado isn’t contagious 😷. If not Joe and fauci will try to make it so. Showing sorrow for the victims in order to advance a political agenda is downright pathetic if not evil. Halfmast flags is not the solution but Joe’s next step might be requiring them to be lowered further 😱
Since it’s the gun that killed those people, why did they arrest the perp instead of the gun?
The corrupt media silence is deafening, at least the details. Why are there no details? Could it be that the shooter’s 1st name is Ahmad? Hum?
