Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty had described the investigation at the store in Boulder as painstaking, with investigators going through every shelf and pulling out each item as they gathered evidence.

The overall investigation into the March 22 shooting is continuing, and investigators have not released a motive for the attack.

Detectives have finished processing the scene where 10 people were gunned down two weeks ago. The store remains closed. The company that owns King Soopers, Kroger, has not announced when the store will reopen.

The suspect faces 10 counts of first-degree murder among other charges. He remains in custody.

Those killed were police Officer Eric Talley; Denny Stong, 20, Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikki Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Teri Leiker, 51; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; and Jody Waters, 65.
