The Colorado Police Department has identified the shooter responsible for the fatal shootings that killed ten people in a supermarket on Monday.
Authorities on Tuesday said that the suspect, a 21-year-old man, faces 10 counts charge for the fatal killings which included a 51-year-old police officer.

The suspect has since been identified as Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa of Arvada, Colorado.

Alissa who suffered a bullet wound to his leg during the shootout with responding police officers at the King Soopers outlet in Boulder was said to be in stable condition.

Meanwhile, the motive for the gruesome killing by Alissa who would be transported to prison remains a mystery but investigators are positive that he acted alone.

“It would be premature for us to draw any conclusions at this time,” Michael Schneider, the agent in charge of the FBI’s field office in Denver, said at a news briefing.

The 10 victims, whose names were released at a Tuesday morning news conference, range in age from 20 to 65 and include Eric Talley, an 11-year veteran of the Boulder police force. Talley, 51, was the father of seven children and had recently been looking for a less dangerous job, according to a statement released by his father.

Police identified the nine other victims as Denny Strong, 20; Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikky Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; and Jody Waters, 65. (Reuters)
