On Tuesday Alisha was charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder, which carries a sentence of Life in prison without parole in Colorado.
Arisha’s identity was previously known to the FBI because he was linked to a person the FBI was investigating, according to the New York Times. The New York Times said, “The gunman, armed with a military semiautomatic rifle and a handgun, walked into the Thorpe King grocery store on Monday and opened fire. Officials confirmed that the suspect, Arisha, who was arrested at the scene, lives in Arvada, a nearby suburb. “
A police affidavit made public Tuesday said that last week Arisha purchased a Ruger AR-556 semi-automatic pistol, essentially a mini version of the AR-15-style rifle that fires the same small-caliber, high-velocity ammunition first developed for the battlefield. The police statement and charging documents are not entirely clear on the type of weapon he used in the attack.
Arisha was convicted of a misdemeanor assault on another student in a classroom in 2018 when he was a junior at Arvada West High School, which Arisha told police at the Time was in retaliation for insults and racial taunts. Arisha’s high school classmates recalled that he had a violent temper and would lash out when frustrated or slighted.
The Gateway Pundit described it as another failure of the FBI, America’s “premier” law enforcement agency.
