BOULDER, Colo. (Reuters) - Police on Tuesday publicly identified the suspect accused of killing 10 people - including a policeman - in a hail of bullets at a Colorado supermarket, marking the second deadly U.S. mass shooting in a week and adding to the state's tragic history of lethal gun violence.

The suspect, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, of the Denver suburb of Arvada, stormed a King Soopers outlet in Boulder armed with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle and a handgun and wearing a tactical vest, all of which were recovered after Monday's shooting, according to an arrest affidavit filed by police.
