The DA’s decision letter about Steidell’s use of force was released on Thursday afternoon. In the letter, District Attorney Michael Dougherty detailed the moments after law enforcement first learned that there was an active shooter at the grocery store.
According to the letter, a shooter first pulled into the parking lot of the King Soopers at around 2:30 p.m. and started shooting at people outside. Officers were dispatched to the area within a minute, and three Boulder Police officers followed the shooter into the store.
One of those officers, identified as Eric Talley, was shot and killed near the cash registers, the letter says. Steidell was part of the second group of officers who went inside, and the letter says the shooter immediately started firing at law enforcement.
