Authorities have not yet released any information on the possible reason for Monday’s shooting at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, which left 10 people dead. The 21-year-old suspect was charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, who is from a Denver suburb, was arrested for murder on Tuesday and is due to appear in court on Thursday.
THE victims he is accused of killing were between 20 and 65 years old. Among them was a 51-year-old Boulder policeman Eric Talley, father of seven children, who responded to the shooting.
The other victims were identified as Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; Rikki Olds, 25; Neven Stanisic, 23; Denny Stong, 20; and Jody Waters, 65.
At the White House, President Biden said that another city was “marked by armed violence“and urged Congress to approve arms control measures.” I just can’t imagine how the families are feeling, the victims whose future has been stolen from them, their families, their loved ones, who now have to fight to continue and try to understand what happened, “said Biden.
