Law enforcement vehicles and officers surrounded the building in Boulder and told someone inside to surrender Monday.

He said he “couldn’t tell if they were breathing.” Video posted on YouTube showed one person on the floor inside the store and two more outside on the ground, but the extent of their injuries wasn’t clear. What sounds like two gunshots are also heard at the beginning of the video.
