Tributes to the victims of the Boulder shooting are being erected all over the Colorado city, as we learn more about each person who was killed when a man opened fire in a grocery store.
Flowers lined the fence separating the public from the scene where 10 people were slain on Monday in a senseless act of violence at a Boulder grocery store. Hundreds visited the makeshift altar to lay flowers, play music, and offer words of comfort. https://t.co/VAjGRt2NK6 pic.twitter.com/aqBzlHxRMM

A memorial outside the Boulder Police department has continued to grow as well for the officer killed. The 51-year-old father of seven has been called “heroic” for his actions during the shooting. People have been leaving flowers on Talley’s car, so many now that you can no longer see the car beneath the mountain of flowers (watch above).
There are so many people from all over Colorado coming to #Boulder tonight to honor the 10 lives lost in the supermarket shooting. A mother just brought her young daughter to drop off flowers at the Boulder Police Dept. She says she wanted her to see Ofc. Eric Talley’s impact. pic.twitter.com/bYEfjmDNrx

The coach of the Denver Nuggets also paid tribute to Talley and the 9 other victims.
"I think about Eric Talley, and his seven kids. I'm just heartbroken for them, and everybody else." 💔@Nuggets coach Michael Malone gave an emotional tribute to the Boulder shooting victims today. He hopes "we can find a way to be better." pic.twitter.com/GzZPiFrPo3
