BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – The suspect accused of shooting and killing 10 people inside a King Soopers in Boulder faces new charges. The 20th Judicial District Attorney’s Office says the new charges include 13 attempted murder charges.
Ten of those charges are murder in the first degree, one count for each victim: 20-year-old Denny Stong; 23-year-old Neven Stanisic; 25-year-old Rikki Olds; 49-year-old Tralona Bartkowiak; 51-year-old Teri Leiker; 51-year-old Eric Talley; 59-year-old Suzanne Fountain; 61-year-old Kevin Mahoney; 62-year-old Lynn Murray; and 65-year-old Jody Waters.
The suspect, who is expected in court on Tuesday, faces a total of 47 attempted murder charges which include counts for 15 civilians and 11 law enforcement personnel.
Police responded to the grocery store on Table Mesa Drive on March 22 for reports of an active shooter. They were met with gunfire, and the first officer to enter the building, Eric Talley, died at the scene.

Ten people murdered?
It seems like almost every day when I look at the news there's yet another incidence of gun violence.
WTF is wrong with this country???
Sounds like a typical night in Detroit.
Sounds like a typical night in Detroit.
While Detroit might be the worst, what I find scary is that it seems to be happening more and more in other places as well.
I think Chicago took the lead last year. I don't believe Detroit or Flint are in the top three anymore. Now I must go look.
Holy crap! Check out the list:
And what about CALIFORNIA???
We just had one yesterday in San Jose, eight dead.
Why would you compare a state to a city?
And so far, apparently, strangely enough the motive is unknown (?)
270 mass shootings in the first 146 days of 2021, and that's just MASS shootings - with ordinary shootings - i.e. less numbers dead or injured, the figures are astronomical.
The story gets curiouser and curiouser-- just found this (don't know if its true through):
Kamala Harris' controversial niece Meena deletes tweet assuming Boulder gunman was white.
Meena Harris deleted her tweet on Tuesday after police revealed 21-year-old gunman Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa is of Syrian descendant
Making assumptions without evidence to back them up is never a good idea...
So he wasn't White, but rather he was Syrian?
Stupid on so many levels...
(Not the least of which is the fact that Syrians are White!!!)
What a total maroon this rascist woman is!
This one is even more of a shocker to me!
Detroit isn't even on this list!!!
Detroit isn't even on this list!!!
I would imagine that means one of two things:
1. Either Detroit is every bit as violent as you think-- but there are actually quite a few cities that are even worse?
OR
2. For some reason that list is inaccurate?
(And contrary the time honoured traditions of social media, I'm not familiar enough with the situation to offer an opinion so I won't pontificate endlessly on this subject)
Not inaccurate per se. It's a per capita measurement. Quantity of murders / number of people for an average... as pointed out below by Ronin2, the quantity shows Detroit at #4. However, that is still a drop from the top 3 that Detroit was for several years.
Saw a story a while back on Detroit's Police Chief. Obviously, you can't get everything from one story, but the theme was essentially that he was taking a good hard stand against crime. Could be that Detroit's absence is a result of his refusal to stand by and watch.
2021 so far -
There is a difference between murder rate and total number of murders. Places with lower populations can have a higher murder rate if just a few people are killed.
I also think sites calculate the numbers differently. Detroit definitely made this one coming in at #4
Yes, I noticed that too. I hadn't noticed that until after I posted the first link and then I simply decided to use the same source.
