BOULDER, Colo. (AP) The man accused of killing 10 people at a crowded Colorado supermarket last month armed himself with 10 high-capacity ammunition magazines, devices banned in the state after previous mass shootings, a prosecutor said Thursday.
Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty told reporters that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 22, possessed the magazines that hold more than 15 rounds unlawfully but that investigators don’t believe the magazines were purchased illegally.
The high-capacity magazines were banned in Colorado after the 2012 mass shootings at a suburban Denver movie theater and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

The man accused of killing 10 people at a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store on March 22 has been accused of trying to kill 19 others, including 11 police officers, court records show.
Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said that 40 new felony charges have been filed against Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, including the attempted murder charges. A motive has yet to be determined and Dougherty said there was no indication that Alissa had ever visited the King Soopers before.
Alissa, 22, allegedly possessed 10 high-capacity magazines during the attack.

The magazines were banned after the 2012 mass shootings at a movie theater near Denver and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
