Yesterday I posted about friend whose CU-attending daughter was in King Soopers & "unreachable" [View all]

Several expressed the concern I share, so I just wanted to update. She is ok but witnessed a significant part of the carnage and had been retained for hours for her witness interview/statement. I'm sure my friends are overwhelmingly relieved but that relief is tempered by what they know lies ahead for her. Still, a bit of brightness in a dark day for Boulder.
