Ten people were killed in the attack on Monday at a supermarket in Boulder Colorado. The victims who died were between the ages of 20 and 65. Among them was a police officer, a young grocery store worker and a retiree who was at the king Scoopers picking an Instacart delivery.

A 21-year-old man has been charged with 10 counts of murder. Police has identified him as Ahmad al Aliwi Alissa. Officials have also stated that the gunman used an AR-15-type assault rifle. He previously been charged with third-degree assault back in 2017.

Boulder had enacted bans on assault-style weapons in 2018, but this month a state district court judge ruled that the city could not enforce them. This shooting was the second in the U.S. in less than a week. On March 16, a gunman killed eight people – six of them women of Asian descent in the Atlanta area.
