A gunman has killed 10 people, including a police officer, following an hours-long stand-off at a grocery market in the US state of Colorado.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The attack in Boulder ended with police detaining an injured, shirtless suspect at the King Soopers market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The shooting was live-streamed<\/a> by witnesses and broadcast on YouTube.<\/p>\n

The incident began at about 14:30 local time (20:30 GMT) on Monday when the suspect entered the supermarket and began firing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

About 20 minutes later, the Boulder police department tweeted that there was an “Active Shooter at the King Soopers on Table Mesa” street.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Police again warned people to avoid the area in a further tweet about two hours later. “Do NOT broadcast on social media any tactical information you might see,” the tweet added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

However, some of the stand-off was captured on camera by a passer-by showing victims near the grocery store.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“I don’t know what’s going on… I heard gunshots, someone’s down,” the cameraman shouts. “There’s an active shooter, get away”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Gunshots can be heard as he runs away from the shop.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The video continues, with police arriving on the scene and surrounding the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

People said they had to dive for cover or run to safety as the shooting unfolded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Aerial footage later showed a man, who appeared only to be wearing shorts, being taken away in handcuffs.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Speaking at a press conference, Boulder police chief Maris Herold confirmed that a suspect was in custody and was receiving hospital treatment. “I want to reassure the community that they are safe,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ms Herold named the officer killed as Eric Talley<\/a>, a 51-year-old who had been with the Boulder police department since 2010.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

“The heroic action of this officer when he responded to the scene… phone calls of shots fired in the area and a phone call about a possible person with a patrol rifle,” she said, adding: “Officer Talley was the first on the scene and he was fatally shot.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ms Herold did not provide further details about the shooting, but said that the investigation was “very complex” and would take “no less that five days to complete”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The names of the other victims will not be released until relatives have been informed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

On Twitter, Colorado Governor Jared Polis said: “My prayers are with our fellow Coloradans in this time of sadness and grief as we learn more about the extent of the tragedy.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

President Joe Biden has been briefed about the shooting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Last month, Mr Biden said he would be recommending tougher legislation to ensure background checks on anyone wishing to purchase a firearm.<\/p>\n
