The grocery store at the center of a shooting that left 10 people dead in Boulder remains closed. More than a month later, a memorial around the perimeter of the site still attracts mourners who leave behind flowers and heartfelt notes. What lies ahead for that building is very much an open question. But there is a playbook, of sorts, for communities finding a way to move forward with physical infrastructure that has become synonymous with mass tragedy.

Together, the measures would temporarily prevent people convicted of some violent misdemeanors from purchasing guns, create a new state office focused on preventing gun violence and allow cities to adopt stricter gun laws than the state.

In the Japanese tradition of senbazuru, it is said that if you fold 1,000 origami cranes, your wish will be granted. The idea found its way around the world with the story of Sadako Sasaki, a young girl who inspired others with her endeavor to fold enough cranes to cure her cancer, after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Since then, the paper crane has become an international symbol of healing, hope and peace. Last week, local artists came to the Museum of Boulder to help with a similar effort — the Memorial Crane Project.

Sen. Majority Leader Steve Fenberg previewed the legislation at a town hall Wednesday night. He says the Boulder delegation is focusing on three kinds of reform, including expanding background checks to ensure people with a violent past cannot buy guns.

Colorado prosecutors have filed over 40 more felony charges against the man charged with killing 10 people at a Boulder King Soopers last month — including allegations he used a large capacity magazine that had been banned by state lawmakers in 2013 in response to mass shootings.

KUNC is checking back in with members of the South Boulder community to see how they, and the community around them, have been processing this tragedy.

The families of the 10 people fatally shot in a Boulder King Soopers last month, as well as others working and shopping during the gunfire, face a long court process ahead. The criminal legal system can help provide closure and answer victims’ questions, but it can also force the survivors to re-live their trauma.

Hours after 10 people were killed in a mass shooting in a Boulder King Soopers, memorials began popping up with flowers, cards and artwork commemorating the victims. The Museum of Boulder is working with local officials, as well as organizations across the country, to archive this moment in history while giving the community space to grieve.

The city of Boulder encouraged people nationwide to hold a moment of silence and conduct a candle-lighting ceremony Saturday to honor the victims of a mass shooting at a local King Soopers that killed 10 people last week.

It's been a traumatic year. The pandemic. Social justice protests in response to police brutality. An insurrection at the nation's capital. Now our nation is dealing with two mass shootings.
