BOULDER — The man accused of killing 10 people at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder told mental health professionals he bought guns because he intended to carry out a mass shooting and “commit suicide by cop,” a psychologist testified Wednesday.
Alissa was found mentally incompetent to stand trial in December 2021, stalling the criminal case against him until state psychologists found him competent in August. Two forensic psychologists testified Wednesday that Alissa has schizophrenia and that he had not been treated, hospitalized or medicated for the serious mental illness before he arrived at the Colorado Mental Health Hospital in December 2021, six months after the attack.
Alissa had a good factual understanding of the court process — like the roles of the judge, prosecution and defense, or the impact of a guilty plea — but he struggled to communicate clearly and think rationally because of the schizophrenia, Torres said, which led her to repeatedly find him incompetent.
