COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Nicholas Jordan, the 25-year-old man accused of killing two people on the University of Colorado Colorado Springs grounds, appeared in court for a status hearing Monday.
Jordan will have a psychologist from a state hospital evaluate his competency.
The March 27 preliminary hearing is postponed until Judge David Shakes deems Jordan competent to stand trial.
The order has been put in for a psychologist to evaluate Jordan. There will be a 90-day review period. April 12 is the review date for Jordan’s competency ruling.
