"BOULDER, Colo. -- Police on Tuesday identified a 21-year-old man as the suspect who opened fire inside a crowded Colorado supermarket in an attack that killed 10 people, including an officer, and sent terrorized shoppers and employees scrambling for cover.
Authorities said Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa was from the Denver suburb of Arvada and that he engaged in a shootout with police Monday afternoon inside the Boulder store. The suspect was being treated at a hospital and was expected to be booked into the county jail later in the day on murder charges.
A law enforcement official briefed on the shooting told The Associated Press that the gunman used an AR-15 rifle, a lightweight semiautomatic rifle. Officials were trying to trace the weapon. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity."

I'm sick and tired of all these mass shootings. I'd like there to be a ban on the private ownership of any firearm weapons capable of continuously firing more than a handful amount of high caliber bullets being discharged within a minute. Hunters and gun enthusiasts could still be allowed to legally own shotguns, bolt-action rifles, and six shot revolver pistols while mass shootings would become nearly impossible.
