also this morning, a clearer picture of the chaos inside the grocery store that he attacked and scars survivors still carry. i hid under the far desk against the wall, and my pharmacist, carrie, who was in there with me, she was right by me. she was standing the whole time behind the wardrobe as much as she could and just held the chair there the whole time. ready to throw if we needed. after the next couple of rounds of shots were fired i hung up on 911 and called my family and my parents. i saw a body. it was an instinct to look over and that s when i saw it was rikki. it all came crashing down seeing someone i knew and dead there that wasn t going to be able to walk out to her family or walk out of the store. that s maggie montoya, one of those who will be forever scarred by this shooting. this is a crisis. how what happens next? we begin with dan simon in boulder. good morning to you. what is the latest you can tell us on the investigation? good morning, poppy. we c
stage today. a growing push today to do something, anything, but qanon supporter marjorie taylor greene for a history of shocking comments supporting conspiracy theories, claims about school shootings and much more. and some of that push is coming from a few lonely voices from her own party. i d certainly vote her off committee. in terms of eviction, i m kind of in the middle. a district has every right to put who they want there, but we can take ta a stand and say you don t get a committee and we definitely need to do that. i think republican leaders should stand up and say it is totally unacceptable what she has said. i saw a couple of the videos over the weekend and one had to do with violence as i see it. and there is no place for violence in our political dialogue. by the way, there is no way for violence in our country. i mean, this is something that we have to get away from. so, yeah, i think people should speak out clearly. so in a moment i ll play for you an ex
