Talking about the incident, Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty reportedly said Talley's life was cut short too soon, adding that he was one of the most outstanding officers in the police department.

Talley joined the Boulder Police Department in 2010, meaning he served as an officer for over ten years until his tragic death on Monday.

In addition to his commitment to the Boulder Police Department, Talley was also a doting father of seven children whom he loved more than anything in the world.

Sources close to Talley also revealed that the late officer had been looking for a job to keep him away from the frontlines and was learning to be a drone operator.

Talley was the first officer to arrive at the Table Mesa Drive grocery store after reports of the shooting were made to the Boulder Police Department.

Following the tragic incident, one person has been arrested as the investigation continues. Hopefully, Talley and all other victims will get the justice they so deserve.
