[Herold/USA, Chief of Police Boulder, Colorado: The suspect was confirmed to be Ahmad Alyssa, 21 years old.] Alyssa,
21, who was accused of murder in the first degree,
was identified
as a citizen who moved from Syria to the United States at the age of 3.
It is known that he has posted articles on social media that reveal a strong dislike for Islamic hatred and racism, and in high school, he violently assaulted a friend for making racist remarks and received orders for anger control treatment.
[The suspect's friend: Alisa was so angry that people didn't try to touch it.
As a result, people stopped speaking at all.] The
families of the suspects claim that he suffered from mental illness, saying that he was bullied and became antisocial, and also showed paranoid behavior.
The reason why the suspect moved to the grocery store 45 km away from the residence and the motive for the crime is still a labyrinth.
In the wake of the tragedy, President Biden has urged a bill to strengthen gun control.
[Biden/U.S. President: I can't wait for an hour or even a minute.
In the future, we must take common-sense measures to save people's lives.]
Even so, in the United States, where firearms are frequent, the social anger index from racial conflicts has soared recently, raising concerns that this type of catastrophe could happen again at any time.
