The brother of a Colorado man who shot and killed 10 people at a Boulder grocery store on Monday described his sibling as deeply disturbed.

Police identified the grocery store gunman as 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, who was shot through the leg and taken into custody after officers arrived at the scene of the shooting.

Mr Alissa’s brother spoke with The Daily Beast, calling him “very anti-social” and paranoid.

“When he was having lunch with my sister in a restaurant, he said, ‘People are in the parking lot, they are looking for me,’” the brother, Ali Aliwi Alissa, 34, said. “She went out, and there was no one. We didn’t know what was going on in his head.”

Investigators have spoken to the shooter and said they were still collecting statements. They said he is from Arvada, Colorado, and has lived the majority of his life in the US.

BOULDER, Colo. (NewsNation Now) — Police have identified a 21-year-old man as the suspect in the shooting at a Colorado supermarket that left 10 people dead Monday.

The Boulder Police Department announced Tuesday that the suspect, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, is charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder in the mass shooting at a King Soopers grocery store.

Police also identified the nine other victims after naming a police officer, 51-year-old Eric Talley, who was killed in a shootout with the suspect Monday. The victims ranged in age from 20 to 65.

Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said the suspect was undergoing treatment at a hospital, and was expected to be booked into the county jail later Tuesday.

Authorities have not yet offered a possible motive for the bloodshed, which came six days after a gunman went on a killing spree in the Atlanta area, fatally shooting eight people at three spa businesses. Six of the victims were Asian women.

“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 Tuesday.

The suspect lived in Arvada, a Denver suburb, and investigators said they were confident he had acted alone.

A law enforcement official briefed on the shooting told The Associated Press that the gunman used an AR-15 rifle, a lightweight semi-automatic rifle. Officials were working fast to trace the gun. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
