Family of manager killed in Boulder grocery store attack makes statement

BOULDER, Colo. (KRDO) -- Rikki Olds was one of ten people who were killed in an attack at a Boulder King Soopers earlier this week -- Wednesday morning, her family is speaking publicly to share their thoughts.

Watch below:

Olds, 25, was working as a manager at the southside King Soopers in Boulder when a gunman opened fire Monday afternoon. The suspect was taken into custody, but police announced that a total of 10 people had been slain.

Old's uncle, Bob Olds, says Rikki lived life on her own terms -- never worried about being judged for being her true self.

"Rikki was vibrant, bubbly," Bob says.

"When Rikki came over, you never knew what color her hair was going to be...or what new tattoos she may have. Rikki was the light of the family."

Since the shooting, a memorial has sprung up outside of the grocery store, and many communities surrounding Boulder have joined in mourning the losses.
