Colorado supermarket shooter was sane at the time of the attack, state experts say

Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in the March 22, 2021, shooting at a King Soopers.BOULDER, Colo. — State experts have found the man charged with shooting and killing 10 people at a Colorado supermarket in 2021 had untreated mental illness but was legally sane at the time of the attack, lawyers said Tuesday.

"I look forward to the trial, and these are issues that are going to be litigated fully at trial," Dougherty said after the hearing. Alissa's mental health was raised as an issue by his lawyers right after the shooting, and the issue of whether he was mentally competent to stand trial — able to understand court proceedings and help his lawyers in his defense — put proceedings on hold for about two years. After Alissa was forcibly medicated and then deemed mentally competent to proceed, he entered the not guilty by reason of insanity plea in November.
