Boulder mass shooting trial: Testimony from defendant's family members, reports of spirit possession
Ahmad Alissa, the alleged shooter in the King Soopers shooting trial, has been diagnosed with severe schizophrenia and was sane at the time of the shooting, according to two forensic psychologists. All mental health professionals who attended to him agree that he suffers from severe...

“Ahmad came out of the bathroom, and asked, ‘What are you doing? Why don’t you go to my room to talk to the guy who’s in my room?’” Mustafa Alissa said. “I said to him your door is open and no one is in there.”
Alissa testified that he believed that his 25-year-old son was possessed by a spirit called a jinn.
“I told you I’m not a doctor. I don’t know. But when a person behaves like him, we say they are possessed by a jinn. I don’t know the term they are using — schizophrenia. I don’t know what that is," he said.
According to Islamic Studies professor Andrea Stanton, a jinn is a “creature mention in the Qur’an who is considered lower than humans and with a ‘capricious’ nature.”

The murder trial of Ahmad Alissa, who faces multiple charges in the killing of 10 people at a King Soopers in Table Mesa in Boulder three years ago, has reached its final days after two weeks of complex and often emotional testimony.
The prosecution and the defense made their closing arguments to the Boulder jurors on Friday.
It is rare that mass shooters go to trial because many of them are either killed by police, kill themselves or plead guilty.
The King Soopers Shooting case is believed to be the first time in Colorado that a jury has been tasked with determining the sanity of an accused mass shooter since the 2015 trial of Aurora Theater gunman James Holmes.

I hope the jury returns a verdict before too long. I feel badly for Colorado that they had two such terrible mass shootings in recent years. It's a great place to live and people there are very friendly.

I totally agree, Betty. Lived here since 1998.
I wish I still lived there. Loved it and hated to leave.

Assistant Boulder District Attorney Ken Kupfner quoted what Alissa told doctors: "I didn't commit the attack in January. Didn't commit the attack in February … because I was still practicing, and wasn't ready. By March I had enough practice."
Then, after dropping his brother off at work in Arvada, he drove to a bustling King Soopers at 2:30 p.m. nestled in a busy strip mall in Boulder.
He parked carefully, got weapons out of his car and killed three people in the parking lot — specifically people who were running away from him.
Then he went into the store and killed another seven people, also seemingly targeting people trying to get away. He then shot and killed a Boulder police officer, before surrendering to police.
The prosecution stressed that up to the attack and the day of, Alissa knew right from wrong and was not insane.
“He's functioning in his daily life. He's paying his bills, he's going to the gun stores and completing all the forms,” Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty said on Friday. “... He's driving to work and he's dropping others off at the restaurant and he's working as a cook at a restaurant.”
