How to watch the Boulder shooting suspect’s first court appearance Thursday
The man suspected of shooting and killing 10 people at a Boulder King Soopers is scheduled to make his first appearance in court Thursday. Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, is expected to appear at 8:15 a.m. Thursday in front of Boulder District Court Judge Thomas Mulvahill. During a first advisement, a judge typically reads the defendant his or her rights and advises the defendant on the crimes for which they are being investigated. A judge also can set bond, though Colorado judges often do not set bond for first-degree murder cases and instead hold defendants in jail throughout the legal process. The defendant does not enter a plea at this stage in the process. Prosecutors have not yet formally charged Alissa in connection to the shooting. He is being held in the Boulder County jail on suspicion of 10 counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder, according to online court records. He has also been assigned a public defender, the records show. The … [Read more...] about How to watch the Boulder shooting suspect’s first court appearance Thursday

Hundreds attend funeral of Boulder police Officer Eric Talley, known as a quiet hero before final sacrifice
LAFAYETTE — Before the seven-gun salute and the eulogies and the bagpipes, Boulder police Officer Eric Talley’s family stood in the wind and watched officers carefully pull his flag-draped casket from a hearse, one of his youngest sons dressed in a tiny black suit and holding the white-gloved hand of another officer. Silence fell inside Flatirons Community Church, where hundreds of law enforcement officers from across Colorado and the country gathered Tuesday for Talley’s funeral service — eight days after he was shot and killed charging into a Boulder grocery store in response to a report of an active shooter. He was 51. Nine others died at the King Soopers before Talley and two other officers arrived, but nobody else was shot after the officers confronted the gunman. Talley’s final sacrifice made sense for a man who was quietly heroic every day, his friends and fellow officers said at the service. “I would argue that Officer Talley’s life was not taken — it was given,” Rev. … [Read more...] about Hundreds attend funeral of Boulder police Officer Eric Talley, known as a quiet hero before final sacrifice
