The shooting sparked several reactions from politicians and public figures. Jared Polis, the Governor of Colorado, ordered the state’s flags to be lowered at half-staff for 10 days. President Joe Biden expressed his condolences on Twitter and called for new gun control restrictions and banning assault weapons. Condolences were also expressed by several others, including former President Barack Obama, senator Dianne Feinstein and singer Frank Mortenson who appeared on television to read Amanda Gorman’s poem “From Mountaintop to Oceanside” while remembering victims of the shooting.
At the moment, Boulder shooting is the deadliest US mass shooting in 2021 and the 26th deadliest shooting in US history along with 3 others: Palm Sunday massacre, Geneva County shootings and Santa Fe High School shooting.
