Police identified the ten people killed in the Boulder, Colorado grocery store shooting. One of the victims was 51-year-old Boulder Police Officer Eric Talley, who was one of the first officers on the scene. He leaves behind a wife and seven children. Pres. Joe Biden praised the heroism of Office Talley saying “that’s the definition of an American hero.” Maggie Montoya is a pharmacy technician at the King Soopers grocery store. She joins AC360 to describe the terrifying moments she spent hiding with her co-worker wondering where the shooter was and if he was going to find them. Plus, the President said he would do everything in his power to keep Americans safe and urged the Senate to immediately pass two House-passed bills on gun reform. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy has been advocating for gun reform since the horrific Sandy Hook shooting that took the lives of 26 people, including 20 children. He tells Anderson Cooper why he thinks there’s a pathway to 60 votes to get the bills passed in the Senate. Airdate: March 23, 2021 Guests: Maggie Montoya Sen.
