Austin Benson was arrested for shooting three people in Aurora on June 27, and reportedly went before a judge Friday.
Benson, 35, was known to police, and in 2023 he had prior attempted murder charges from 2018 dismissed due to mental incompetence. From 9News Denver:
“A Douglas County judge decided in October that a man suspected of randomly shooting at people in 2018 wasn’t mentally competent to stand trial and that even with treatment, there was no hope he would be competent in the ‘reasonably foreseeable future.’
Once District Judge Ryan James Stuart made that decision, he had no choice but to dismiss attempted murder charges against Austin Benson, 35. He also dismissed charges against Benson in a second case in which he was accused of assaulting a hospital security guard and punching a nurse.
Now Benson is being held on $2 million bail, suspected of randomly shooting three people last Thursday evening in an Aurora neighborhood.”
Benson was known to be dangerous and authorities allowed to roam the streets. This is disturbing, but prioritizing criminals over community safety is a feature of Colorado.
