Boulder Gunman That Killed 10 Had Assault Rifle, Tactical Vest, Handgun - Police Affidavit

WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th March, 2021) The Boulder shooting gunman Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa had an assault rifle, semiautomatic handgun, and tactical vest when he killed ten people in a local grocery store in the US state of Colorado, an affidavit revealed on Tuesday.

"A photograph of the items that the male removed on scene included a green tactical vest, a rifle (possible AR-15), a semiautomatic handgun, a pair of jeans and a dark colored long-sleeved shirt," the affidavit said.

Ten people were killed at a King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, about 25 miles (40 km) from Denver. Eric Talley, a 51-year-old police officer who was first to run to the aid of the victims, was among the dead. A 21-year-old male suspect later identified as� Alissa was captured alive.

The affidavit said there were no signs Alissa had been under the influence of alcohol or no indication of impairment due to drug use. Alissa also told paramedics he was not using any medications, the affidavit added.

Alissa had gunshot wounds to his upper right thigh during the shooting, the affidavit said.

His criminal history record shows he had a charge for third degree assault in 2018, the affidavit added.

The affidavit does not provide a motive for Alissa's shooting. In addition, the affidavit indicates Alissa got the handgun from one of his brothers who lived with him, but there's no explanation on how he acquired the assault rifle.
