The suspect, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa of Arvada, Colorado, had an assault rifle, a handgun and a tactical vest, all of which were recovered at the King Soopers outlet in Boulder, according to an arrest affidavit filed by police.

Alissa was in stable condition after suffering a leg wound in an exchange of gunfire with responding police officers inside the store, about 28 miles (45 km) northwest of Denver, on Monday afternoon. Authorities said they were confident he had acted alone, though they did not offer any details on what might have motivated his actions.
