On March 22, 2021, a mass shooting occurred at a King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, United States. Ten people were killed, including a local on-duty police officer.[4][5] The shooter, 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Al-Issa, was arrested after being shot in the right leg. He was temporarily hospitalized[7][8] before being moved to the county jail.[9] After undergoing mental evaluations during the legal proceedings, Al-Issa was found mentally incompetent to stand trial in December 2021 and in April 2022. On August 23, 2023, prosecutors announced that Al-Issa was mentally competent to stand trial;[10] a judge ruled as such on October 6 of that same year.[11] On September 23, 2024, Al-Issa was found guilty in the shooting and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.[12]
