Nearly a year after 10 people were shot and killed at a Colorado supermarket, the redesigned store is reopening. That's triggering mixed emotions among the relatives of those killed.
But the uncle of Rikki Olds, a front-end manager who was also killed at the store, thinks it may have been better to tear the store down, getting rid of the place where so much tragedy happened.Robert Olds hopes the newly designed store has better security than at the time of the shooting, including some of the measures he is responsible for as a school security supervisor.
“This is their community and they wanted to return to their community and their store,” said Trowbridge, who said that about 50% of the employees who worked at the store at the time of the shooting are returning to their jobs.She declined to discuss whether there had been changes to security made in the store. When media were allowed inside to look at the store Tuesday, security guards were armed but Trowbridge said she could not talk about whether that would continue to be the case.
Leiker’s mother, Whittington, credited Kroger, the company that owns King Soopers, with being sympathetic to the feelings of its long time customers in making changes to the store.
