After three and half years, 11 News is hearing from those at the center of the mass shooting at a Colorado King Soopers. Monday afternoon, Ahmad Alissa, was convicted of killing 10 people inside and outside that store. Alissa is now preparing to serve 10 life sentences plus another 1,300 years in prison without parole. Before that sentencing, more than a dozen victims and family members spoke about the impact of this terrible tragedy, including how they are working to move forward. Afterwards, some said while they were very happy with the outcome, it will never take away the pain.
“Your honor, I have to live the rest of my life without my dad. The defendant has deprived my family of something precious,” said Madeline Talley, the daughter of Eric Talley.
“I felt like and still feel like I am the luckiest daughter on earth to have been her kid,” said Oliva Murray, daughter of Lynn Murray.
