Grocery store worker narrowly escaped gunman’s notice
Associated PressBOULDER, Colo. — An employee of the Colorado supermarket where a gunman killed 10 people watched as the assailant opened fire and narrowly escaped his notice while joining with other bystanders in a desperate scramble to get away. “I don’t know how he didn’t see us,” she said of the attacker, who walked right by her before she ran into the King Soopers store and out the back. “It doesn’t seem personal, so I don’t quite get why we pulled that lottery ticket.” Giffen made the comments Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press as families mourned the dead and multiple law enforcement agencies pressed ahead with what they said would be a monthslong investigation. “It’s just the fear like, where do you, where do I ever feel safe?” Giffen, who said she has worked at the King Soopers for three years, described a close-knit community where she chats with customers and remembers their bagel orders from when she worked at a nearby bagel place. “It was so beautiful to see all of these people who live right here with me actually acknowledge individual people’s names,” she said.
