Nearly a year after 10 people were shot and killed at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, the store has reopened after a redesign. The move triggered mixed emotions for victims' families as well as the community.
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.
She declined to discuss whether there had been changes to security made in the store, which opened its doors following a ceremony that blended celebration with remembrance. The names of the victims were read twice during the ceremony. Several speakers focused on the importance of reopening a store where neighbors inevitably run into each other and catch up. Some also encouraged people who are struggling to reach out for help at a resource center established after the shooting.
