BOULDER, Colo. — The arsenal was enough for a private war, according to testimony during the King Soopers shooting trial, which revealed that the alleged gunman brought at least 15 magazines—many holding 30 rounds—an AK-style rifle, and a pistol to the March 2021 mass shooting.
Almost all of the magazines of various capacities were fully loaded, the testimony said. Three of them were found in the alleged shooter's tactical vest, nine were in his vehicle, and two were in each of two weapons. Police also found another spent 30-round magazine at check stand No. 13.
Surveillance video showed the gunman, on the run, throwing it down and reloading the rifle with a fresh one.
Day 5 of Ahmad Alissa's murder trial was a somber one for the families of victims killed in the Boulder Table Mesa King Soopers shooting three and a half years ago.
