Per today’s Brattleboro Reformer:

According to police, at around 8:15 a.m., a 59-year-old man walked into the Co-op and shot and killed an employee, also a 59-year-old man. A press release from the Brattleboro Town Office stated that the two had been co-workers at the Co-op.

More details will come out soon, I’m certain– from what I’ve read, the shooter is in custody.  I think I know who both the shooter and victim are.

I’ve spent a lot of time at the Brattleboro Food Co-Op.  I used to work member hours there and have done multiple music performances there.  That’s an aside from the number of times I’ve stopped in for a quick meal while in Brattleboro for some reason or other.  

I’m a little numb right now and don’t have anything of use to offer at this moment but I wanted to get this up here and let everyone know what’s going on.  The Co-op is closed today and tomorrow and there will be a vigil tomorrow (Wednesday) night.
