Former NFL defensive tackle Justin Bannan entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of attempted first-degree murder, assault and burglary in the shooting of Ashley Marie, who worked in the same building in Boulder, Colorado in October 2019.

TMZ Sports reported the update on the criminal case Thursday and noted Marie, who was wounded in the right shoulder, has also filed a civil lawsuit against Bannan seeking damages.

The 41-year-old California native was ordered to undergo mental health evaluation at a Colorado state hospital, according to Dara Bitler of Fox Denver.
