That's not how that works. Nobody presses charges but the prosecutor. The mother can not cooperate, but she has no actual hand in the filing of charges.

According to Colorado law they didn’t need the mother to press charges.

You’re saying the cops returned the guns he used in the shooting?

Edit : Such a troubling case — dropped or not — could still have been used to trigger Colorado’s “red flag” law, which allows family members or law enforcement to ask a judge to order a removal of guns for a year from people dangerous to themselves or others, with possible extensions based on subsequent hearings.

I’m not positive but can’t the law enforcement officer still file for the red flag law because he was a danger to himself or others?
