The man accused of killing 10 people in a mass shooting in a Boulder, Colo. grocery store last month now faces more than 40 additional charges.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, was already facing charges of 10 counts of murder in the first degree and one count of attempted murder over the shooting rampage at a King Soopers supermarket.
Prosecutors amended the criminal complaint against him to add 43 new felony charges, according to a motion filed Wednesday in Boulder County District Court.
Of the 54 total charges now facing Alissa, 32 are new counts of attempted first-degree murder. Eleven police officers responding to the attack at the grocery store are named as victims of the attempted murder. Alissa also faces one charge of assault in the first degree and 10 charges of using a large capacity magazine in the shooting.

While the dispute s end has just been revealed, Butler s order actually came down on February 23, and Libit received the information a few weeks later, prior to the expiration of a deadline set by the judge. And the result of the court confrontation could have a far-reaching impact on transparency at major universities. We re talking about millions of dollars of business involving the university using public assets like facilities that s largely done in secret, Libit had explained in an earlier interview.
