A court hearing was held on March 25, where according to CNN, the defense attorney for the suspect asked the judge to delay the next hearing for a few weeks since they argued that they needed that time to assess the suspect’s mental health. 

The judge, Thomas Mulvahill, agreed with the defense attorney, and the suspect will be jailed with no bond until then.

Sam Weaver, the mayor of Boulder, revealed in a tweet that President Joe Biden sent his regards to the situation. “I just received a call from (Biden) extending his condolences and support to the Boulder community as we begin our healing,” the tweet said. “The President was clearly pained by our losses, and offered any resources we needed. I thanked him sincerely on behalf of everyone in Boulder.”

As a response to the Boulder shooting, and to the shooting that happened on March 16 in Atlanta, Georgia to Asian-owned businesses, President Biden has plans for executive orders for gun legislation since the Senate in itself is divided on the issue according to the New York Times.
