Boulder tries to let Store Shooter Mass Murderer Get Away With It.

Boulder judge finds King Soopers shooting suspect incompetent to stand trial

BOULDER, Colo. — A fourth doctor agreed with three other doctors and concluded that the man arrested and charged in connection with the deadly shooting at a Boulder King Soopers store earlier this year is not competent to stand trial at this time.

During a hearing Friday, prosecutors asked the judge to send the suspect to the state hospital in Pueblo, where they're hopeful he can receive treatment that will restore his competency so they can proceed.

"This case is by no means over," said Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty after the hearing. "This is certainly a delay, and it's upsetting to everybody. The victims groups, the families, the prosecution. But it's also a step we need to take to get him back here as quickly as possible so we can move forward and ensure that justice is done."
