During the trial for the man accused of killing 10 people at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, harrowing testimonies have shed light on the terrifying events that unfolded on that fateful day.
One witness, a 79-year-old woman named Elan Shakti, recounted her experience of being inside the King Soopers store when the shooting began. Despite her fatigue and health issues, Shakti attempted to flee but fell and suffered a broken vertebrae, leaving her unable to move. She described a moment of resignation and fear as she lay on the ground, praying not to be trampled by the panicked crowd.
