BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The defendant in a 2021 mass shooting that killed 10 people at a Colorado supermarket has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa entered his plea Tuesday after a judge ruled to move the case to trial.  Alissa, who has schizophrenia, is charged with murder and multiple attempted murder counts. No one has disputed Alissa was the gunman in the March 2021 attack at a Boulder supermarket. A detective provided new details Tuesday of how most of the victims were killed in just over a minute by a gunman using a high-capacity magazine. The judge ordered a sanity evaluation by Jan. 8 and tentatively scheduled trial for August.
