The Jewish Community Center of Boulder and area synagogues will hold a vigil on Tuesday evening so local residents can connect and grieve following a mass shooting at a supermarket not far from the University of Colorado.

Ten people, including one police officer, were killed when a gunman attacked a King Soopers supermarket in the Colorado city 30 miles northeast of Denver. All the victims have been identified; the youngest was 20 and the oldest 65. Police arrested the gunman, identified as 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa from Arvada, Colo.

A Facebook post by Rabbi Fred Greene of Congregation Har Ha-Shem noted that his synagogue includes those who live in the neighborhood of the shooting.

“I know that we are feeling shock, fear, anger and so much more. I am sorry that as people were beginning to feel hopeful for [coronavirus] vaccines and a new beginning, another act of violence has shaken our community,” wrote Greene. “We are thinking of you who go to that area to shop. We are praying for the healing of those who are experiencing fear and trauma.”

Rabbi Marc Soloway of Congregation Bonai Shalom posted on Facebook: “Friends, I am sure we are all so shaken and frightened by how close today’s horrible shooting was to us. A store that so many of us have been in multiple times. While we wait with terror and sadness to learn more about the victims, I hope and pray that you and your loved ones are safe.”

Leaders of the Boulder JCC also expressed their sorrow and dismay regarding an incident of violence so close to home.

No. Most won't even say/spell his name right.

Are they “shaken to the core” enough to repeal Boulders draconian gun laws? Here in CO, concealed carry and in many places, open carry are legal and CCP are shall issue - except Uber liberal Denver, Boulder, and Littleton, which have Chicago style gun laws.

As a result of the censorship, most Jews will never know.

Oh and don’t mention he is a radical Muslim.

The Jews who vote for Democrats don’t care.

Local media are doing everything they can to suppress this story. It's the usual crap. It's like the gun sprouted legs and arms and shot a bunch of people with no human involvement.

What a contrast with Atlanta, where the Dems and media declared it a racist attack with no evidence and the perp denying that was his motive.

Didn’t the same sort of thing happen in Paris, France a few years ago?

Bottom line. Thus nothing will change or be done but the continued shredding of the nation. Everything is rinse and repeat.
