Colorado man accused of killing 10 in 2021 attack ruled competent for trial

Suspect in Boulder attack was previously deemed to be mentally incompetent to stand trial and suffering from schizophrenia

A Colorado man accused of murdering 10 people in a shooting rampage at a Boulder supermarket in 2021, then diagnosed as schizophrenic and declared mentally unfit for prosecution months later, is competent to stand trial, a judge ruled on Friday.

Boulder county district judge Ingrid Bakke agreed with state psychiatric experts and prosecutors that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa has made enough progress through treatment to render him capable of understanding the criminal proceedings against him and meaningfully assisting in his own defense.
