0:53Now PlayingThe district attorney in charge of prosecuting this week's mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado says investigators continue to process the crime scene inside King Sooper's supermarket and should finish over hte weekend.
Michael Dougherty said investigators have an idea of how many shots were fired in the gunbattle between officers and the suspect, but aren't revealing it yet.
"It's a painstakingly thorough investigation being conducted by the FBI evidence recovery team," Dougherty said.
"So to answer your question, yes, we do know the number, but we're not ready to finalize that number and confirm that it's accurate."
The officer who was the first on scene, Eric Talley, was killed. A second officer engaged the shooter and has been placed on administrative leave, according to protocol.
Dougherty said he has spoken out in the past about the need to reduce gun violence in Colorado, saying "real action needs to continue."
He says his focus now is on prosecuting the case, which he expects will take about years.
Meantime, the city's police chief says victim's advocate from across the region are being brought in to help the community.
"I think that is so important because this is just the beginning of this journey," said Chief Meris Herold.
"This will be at least a year long journey for these victims families and the police involved in this case," Herold said.
