DENVER (Reuters) -The man who killed 10 people in a mass shooting at a Colorado grocery store in 2021 was convicted on Monday of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 25, had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The jury instead found the Syria-born man guilty in Boulder District Court on 10 counts of first-degree murder. Jurors also found him guilty on dozens of counts of attempted murder and weapons offenses.
