Hours after America's second mass shooting in a week, Sen. John Kennedy downplays the gun problem by noting that "we have a lot of drunk drivers in America that kill a lot of people. We ought to try to combat that too ... the answer is not to get rid of all sober drivers."

He attended Arvada West High School from 2015 until he graduated in 2018, Jeffco Public Schools spokeswoman Cameron Bell confirmed Tuesday. He was on the wrestling team his junior and senior years.

“He was kind of scary to be around,” said Dayton Marvel, a teammate on the wrestling team. Alissa once had an outburst and threatened to kill people during an intra-team match, Marvel said.

“His senior year, during the wrestle-offs to see who makes varsity, he actually lost his match and quit the team and yelled out in the wrestling room that he was, like, going to kill everybody,” Marvel said. “Nobody believed him. We were just all kind of freaked out by it, but nobody did anything about it.”

He said he did not like spending time with Alissa, and Alissa was not close with anyone on the wrestling team. Another teammate, Angel Hernandez, said Alissa got into a fight in the parking lot after the match.

A federal judge lambasted the Justice Department on Tuesday, warning that top officials’ comments in recent media interviews threatened to taint the prosecution of some of the most notorious participants in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

In a hastily assembled video conference, District Court Judge Amit Mehta declared he was “surprised, to say the least” by a CBS “60 Minutes” interview with Michael Sherwin, who recently stepped aside as the lead prosecutor in the Capitol attack and as the acting U.S. attorney in Washington.


In the interview aired Sunday, Sherwin said he believed the facts gathered by investigators would support a charge of “seditious conspiracy” against some of the Capitol rioters — a grave, rarely used criminal charge reserved for attempts to overthrow the government or interfere with government activities.

Atlanta police say they arrested a man who brought multiple guns into the Publix grocery store at Atlantic Station Wednesday afternoon.

They have now cleared the store and are investigating a suspicious package at the store.

Investigators say the man walked into the store just after 1:30 p.m. holding a rifle. He then went into the bathroom. A witness who saw him enter alerted store management, who called police. As the man exited the bathroom, officers arrested him.

“During the investigation, officers recovered five firearms and body armor from the male’s possession,” police said in an email to Channel 2 Action News. Investigators say he had two long guns and three pistols in his possession.

Officers at the scene spotted the man leaving the bathroom and quickly took him into custody. According to police, his weapons included two long guns and three pistols, all of which were concealed on his person. Police identified the man as 22-year-old Rico Marley and said he has been charged with reckless conduct.

Officers and paramedics are still interviewing Marley and conducting a mental health evaluation, authorities said. Police are still working to determine why he had so many guns inside the store.



Several police cars were parked at Atlantic Station as officers continue the investigation. Atlantic Drive, one of the main surface streets that runs in front of Publix, is closed to traffic by gates and security guards.

Shoppers were being turned away as they approached the grocery store, but there were still plenty of people milling about the open-air mall. Most of those at Atlantic Station appeared unaware of the situation at the Publix, as nearby restaurants served guests on patios and shops remained open.

The shooting took place on the northbound platform of the Arts Center station, MARTA police spokeswoman Sgt. Deneya Littles said. The suspect is in custody and has been taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, Littles told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

One other person was injured when a bullet grazed their leg, Littles said. She did not say whether the victim was taken to a hospital.

The Arts Center station was temporarily closed to train service while police investigated the shooting, according to a MARTA tweet. Train operations returned to normal about 4 p.m.

Imma thinking if he was going on a shooting spree, he wouldn't have gone to the bathroom first.

During the Boulder supermarket shooting, barista Logan Smith helped barricade his coworker behind trash cans.

The shooting left 10 people dead, including his best friend and coworker Rikki Olds. He said he doesn’t think the image of her getting shot will ever leave his mind.
