Prosecutors tacked on 43 new charges to the suspected Boulder, Colorado, gunman, who allegedly opened fire at a supermarket in March, killing 10 people.
The alleged gunman has since been accused of 33 counts of attempted first-degree murder, 10 counts of first-degree murder, one count of first-degree assault, and 10 counts of using a prohibited large capacity magazine during a crime. The man had previously faced only the first-degree murder charges.
The Boulder County District Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Washington Examiner.
HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE ALLEGED COLORADO SHOOTER
The suspected gunman, on March 22, allegedly opened fire at a King Soopers store before he was shot in the thigh by responding law enforcement officers and subsequently arrested. The victims of the incident were later identified as Denny Stong, 20; Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikki Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; police officer Eric Talley, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; and Jody Waters, 65.
Authorities have not disclosed motives for the attack, but the alleged gunman’s brother said he believed the suspect suffered from “mental illness.”
“[It was] not at all a political statement. It’s mental illness,” he said. “The guy used to get bullied a lot in high school. He was like an outgoing kid, but after he went to high school and got bullied a lot, he started becoming anti-social.”
The man described his younger brother as “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.’ She went out, and there was no one. We didn’t know what was going on in his head,” he said.
