Boulder King Soopers shooting suspect ruled mentally competent for trial

A judge has ruled that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, the man accused of killing 10 people in a Colorado supermarket in 2021, is mentally competent to stand trial. The ruling comes after experts at a state mental hospital determined that Alissa was competent following forced medication for his schizophrenia. Alissa, who is charged with murder and attempted murder, allegedly carried out the shooting spree in a crowded grocery store in Boulder. The motive for the shooting has not been disclosed. Now that Alissa has been deemed competent, a hearing will be held to determine if there is enough evidence for the case to proceed to trial.
