DENVER (AP) — A judge could decide Tuesday whether the prosecution of a mentally ill man charged with killing 10 people at a Colorado supermarket in 2021 can resume now that the state mental hospital says he is mentally competent, at least for now. Judge Ingrid Bakke is set to hold an afternoon hearing to discuss the status of the case against Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, who has schizophrenia. He is charged in the shooting at a crowded King Soopers store in Boulder in 2021. Criminal proceedings have been on hold for about two years after his attorneys raised concerns about whether he was able to understand court proceedings and communicate with them to help his defense.
