Colorado Man Charged Attempted Murder Arrested Gun Campus Weeks After Release

News summary

Ephraim Debisa, who was found incompetent to stand trial in two felony cases and released from jail due to a loophole in Colorado's mental health law, was arrested again for allegedly carrying a gun on the University of Northern Colorado campus. The Weld County Sheriff's Office had warned the public about Debisa's release, describing him as a potential danger, and expressed no surprise at his rearrest. The release, mandated by House Bill 24-1034, has drawn criticism from various officials, including Governor Jared Polis and District Attorney Michael Rourke, who have discussed the need to amend the law to prevent similar situations. Debisa denies being dangerous and claims to be a political target, but video evidence reportedly shows him assaulting individuals prior to his initial release. The incident has garnered national attention, with public debate on the balance between mental health care and public safety. Authorities continue to address the legal and policy challenges posed by such cases.
