DENVER (AP) — It took just over a minute for the gunman in a 2021 mass shooting to kill most of his victims at a Colorado supermarket, where he targeted individuals who were moving and continued firing at them until they were dead, a police detective testified Tuesday.Ten people including a police officer were killed in the attack at a crowded King Soopers store in the college town of Boulder. The first eight victims died within 69 seconds; all but one were shot multiple times and everyone who was shot was killed, Boulder Police Detective Sarah Cantu said Tuesday. “He found moving targets, pursued them and shot them until they stopped moving,” Cantu said as prosecutors laid out their case against a mentally ill man recently deemed competent to stand trial in the March 22, 2021, shooting. The hearing was to decide if there was enough evidence for defendant Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, who has schizophrenia, to go on trial in the shooting about 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of Denver. ...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin state Senate narrowly approved a plan Tuesday to spend nearly half a billion dollars to help the Milwaukee Brewers repair their stadium over the next three decades, brushing aside arguments that the team has more than enough money and doesn’t deserve such a sizable government subsidy.The chamber approved the legislation on a 19-14 vote, sending it to the Assembly for a floor vote later Tuesday. Speaker Robin Vos has signaled his support for the proposal. Assembly passage would put the bill in front of Gov. Tony Evers, who can sign it into law or veto it. Evers’ spokesperson, Britt Cudaback, said Monday that the governor supports the plan.Brewers President of Business Operations Rick Schlesinger called the Senate vote “historic.”“The Brewers require a premier ballpark to drive ticket sales and continue to field competitive teams — making maintenance of the ballpark all the more critical,” he said in a statement.The Brewers say 22-year-ol...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:25:30 GMT

BOULDER (AP) — The defendant in a 2021 mass shooting that killed 10 people at a Colorado supermarket pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity on Tuesday after a judge ruled that the case can move to trial.Attorneys for Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa entered the plea on his behalf before Judge Ingrid Bakke in Boulder.

Alissa is charged with murder and multiple attempted murder counts. Neither his attorneys nor anyone else has disputed that Alissa was the gunman.Tuesday's hearing was held to decide if there was enough evidence for Alissa, who has schizophrenia, to go on trial in the March 22, 2021, shooting at a crowded King Soopers store in Boulder, about 30 miles (50 ki...

Supporters of Israel rally in Washington under heavy security, crying ‘never again’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:25:30 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP/WSVN) — Supporters of Israel rallied by the thousands on the National Mall under heavy security Tuesday, voicing solidarity in the fight against Hamas and crying “never again.”The Homeland Security Department designated the march a “level 1” security event, the highest classification in its system and one usually used for the Super Bowl and other major events, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. The designation means the event required substantial law enforcement assistance from federal agencies, the officials said.A succession of speakers took the stage, overlooking a sea of Israeli and U.S. flags, to denounce Hamas’ bloody incursion Oct. 7 and what the speakers said was a virulent spread of antisemitism internationally, “an embarrassment to all civilized people and nations,” in the words of Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who addressed the crowd by video.After “the largest massacre since the Holocaust,” he said, “let us call out toge...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:25:30 GMT

Catalan separatist MEPs Carles Puigdemont and Toni Comín accused Spain’s General Council of the Judiciary of violating “basic standards of the rule of law” in a letter sent to European Commission Vice President and Values and Transparency Commissioner Věra Jourová on Monday.In the letter, exclusively obtained by POLITICO, Puigdemont and Comín argue that the body, which oversees Spain’s judiciary, is not impartial and has repeatedly overstepped its legal attributions.As evidence, Puigdemont and Comín cite an institutional declaration issued by the General Council in which its members express concern over the possibility that an amnesty may be granted to people prosecuted for their involvement in the failed 2017 Catalan independence referendum.The lawmakers argue the declaration runs afoul of Spanish law barring judges from publicly supporting or rejecting acts of political authorities. They also consider the General Council overstepped its authority by assessi...
