The brother of the suspect charged with 10 counts of murder in Monday’s horrific shooting at a Colorado supermarket said in a new interview that his sibling was not trying to make a “political statement.”
Shortly after Boulder Police identified the suspect as 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa on Tuesday, The Daily Beast published a conversation with his brother, Ali Aliwi Alissa.
“[It was] not at all a political statement, it’s mental illness,” the 34-year-old Ali told The Daily Beast. “The guy used to get bullied a lot in high school. He was like an outgoing kid but after he went to high school and got bullied a lot, he started becoming anti-social.”
