Boulder mass shooting: 9 civilians killed before officer, slain after, arrived

WATCH: Prosecution files 43 additional charges against King Soopers shooting suspect

The nine civilian victims gunned down at a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store last month were all killed before police officer Eric Talley and other officers "bravely charged in" the store, Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said Thursday.

Less than 30 seconds after Talley -- the final victim -- was shot and killed, a "second wave of officers" headed into the store, Dougherty said at a news conference.

The amended criminal complaint list numerous counts of attempted murder for the citizens and police officers who were in the store and responded to the shooting.

At least 115 people were in the store and at least 25 others were in the parking lot when the shooting began, Dougherty said.

A motive has not been determined, Dougherty said Thursday. He said authorities are still working to uncover one, but added, "you don't need motive to prove that someone acted with intent."

Alissa has not entered a plea. He is next due in court on May 25 for a status conference, Dougherty said.
