It was revealed that a total of 10 people, including one policeman, were killed using a semi-automatic assault rifle purchased six days before the crime by Ahmed Alyssa (photo, 21), a Colorado shooter. The point of purchase of the gun is the day of the Atlanta serial shootings, where eight people, including six Asian women including Koreans, were killed.

The Associated Press reported on the 23rd (local time) that an affidavit of the arrest of Alyssa was disclosed. According to the statement, Alisa was heavily armed with a black AR-15 series semi-automatic rifle and semi-automatic pistol when a firearm was fired at the’King Superus’ grocery store in Boulder, Colorado on the 22nd.

He also wore a green tactical vest. Tactical vests can be fitted with magazines and have bulletproof functions. Witnesses also told police that Alisa had an AR-15 series rifle at the time of the crime, and appeared to be wearing jeans and body armor.

The Associated Press cited a police official and reported that the weapon Alysa used was the AR-15, a lightweight semi-automatic rifle. CNN also reported that the crime tool was an AR-15 series weapon modified with an arm brace attachment, and that other weapons were also found in his house. The AR-15 series rifle is an easy-to-use improved weapon for the M16, a military firearm. It has been frequently used by gun shooters aiming for mass destruction. The police recovered all the tools of the crime at the scene of the incident.

Alyssa also purchased a semi-automatic’Ruger AR-556′ pistol on the 16th, six days before committing the crime. The Washington Post (WP) said the pistol has a different firing system compared to the AR-15 rifle, but functionally the same, and its total length is 10.5 inches (26.67 cm), making it easy to hide in a coat or bag. Details on where to buy the AR-556 pistol, etc. were not included in the statement.

WP said, “How Alysa obtained the gun and how it was used at the crime site has not been disclosed.” Alyssa’s family stated in a police investigation that he played with what appears to be a machine gun two days before the shooting, and that some of his brothers had a pistol.

The 16th day of Alisa’s purchase of a firearm strangely overlaps the day the Atlanta shootings took place. Robert Aaron Long, a suspect in the Atlanta shootings, who murdered eight people, including six Asian women including Koreans, is 21 years old, and the two are the same age. However, there is currently no indication that the Atlanta serial shootings directly or indirectly affected Alisa’s crimes.

The affidavit also stated that Alisa confirmed and killed an innocent old man in a cruel way at the time of the crime. Grocery store employees told the police, “I witnessed the suspect shooting an old man in the parking lot,” and “The suspect stood on top of the (collapsed) old man and shot several additional guns.”

In addition, SWAT, who was put into the scene to arrest Alyssa, confirmed that Officer Eric Tally, who was killed in a firearms shooting, was shot dead with a gunshot wound to the head. The victim’s body was found in grocery stores, parking lots, and in cars. Witnesses revealed that Alisa shot a person in a vehicle outside the grocery store, broke into the grocery store, and fired firearms at customers.

The affidavit also included new information that Alisa and her party were also killed at the crime scene. According to the police, there was a car in the parking lot that appeared to be owned by Alisa’s brother, and the body of the dead party was found in a car parked next to it. However, the police have not mentioned the existence of Alisa’s party in the case briefing so far, and weighed on the possibility of Alisa’s single crime.

Also, when Alisa was arrested by the police, she was wearing only shorts that looked like underwear, with her tops and bottoms removed. Before entering the store, the police warned Alyssa to disarm and surrender. Police retrieved the suspect’s dark long-sleeved shirt and jeans along with a firearm at the scene.
