Tragedy In Boulder

I had just finished an unrelated portrait assignment, and was on my way home when I received a call from my editor at Getty Images, asking if I knew how to get to the King Sooper’s on the south side of Boulder. I was very familiar. I had shopped there several times, and was scheduled to receive my first dose of the vaccine there later that day. The optimism of getting my first COVID vaccination quickly evaporated when I was told what was happening, and I rushed to the scene not to get my scheduled vaccine dose, but to begin coverage of the deadliest shooting in Boulder’s history. I arrived on scene as police were entering the store & evacuating customers and employees, and spent the next ten days covering the shooting and its immediate aftermath for Getty.
