Ten people, including a police officer, were killed in the March 2021 massacre.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Al-Issa surrendered to law enforcement officials at the scene of the shooting after he was wounded in an exchange of fire.
“The court shall resume the criminal proceedings in this matter,” the judge wrote, setting a preliminary hearing in the case for Nov 14. Al-Issa’s lawyer, Kathryn Herold, argued during his competency review hearing last week that her client’s mental illness remains profound, so much so that he “engaged in an unprovoked” assault during the past month, apparently fuelled by a psychotic episode.
One forensic psychologist, Loandra Torres, testified that Al-Issa explained his reasoning for buying guns, saying he had wanted to carry out a mass shooting with the intent to “commit suicide by cop.” The legal definition of competency differs from the question of whether someone can plead not guilty by reason of insanity, a separate standard requiring prosecutors to show the defendant knew right from wrong at the time of committing an offence.
