(2) Police briefing now underway.
PD Commander confirms multiple fatalities, including one LEO.
One person of interest in custody.

(3) This is most odd. They are refusing to say how many people died, citing the ongoing investigation. Honestly, how hard can it be to give us a ballpark number?
They've had several hours. Media have been giving numbers but ofc they are unconfirmed.

(4) The DA claims they can't give the number until they have contacted the families.
That is not OK.
Giving us a number isn't going to harm anyone.

(5) This kind of thing fuels online speculation & can harm the families & others affected. It's irresponsible.
The amount of info given would've bn better delivered as a paragraph in a statement. That's literally all they gave us.
In a way, it's worse than the GA cops were.

(6) Just days ago, a GA cop speculated aloud at a briefing as to the suspect's motive and seemed to repeat the suspect's words without running the idea through a working PR filter. It gave the appearance of sympathy with the suspect & utter disregard for the 8 deceased victims.
(7) It would be tempting to think these CO cops overreacted to that and are shutting down even the most basic factual info, 4 hours after the event.
IDK, I prefer to use Occam's and Hanlon's razors to infer that they're just not very good at this.

(8) Second Police briefing:
>Officials confirm 10 people killed
>Heroic fallen Boulder Police Officer was Eric Talley
>The investigation is very complex and will take "no less than 5 days"
