UPDATE: Planned Parenthood shooter moved to Pueblo mental hospital

Weeks after Robert Dear’s competency hearing, Dear was transferred to the State Mental Health Institute in Pueblo.

Earlier in May, doctors testified that Dear was suffering from a delusional disorder where he believes he is being chased by the FBI.

The Judge ruled that Dear must spend at least 90 days at the mental hospital.
