RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — The man accused of fatally shooting a man inside Richland’s Fred Meyer store was ordered to take mental health medications. Superior Court Judge Joe Burrowes ruled Tuesday that Eastern State Hospital can require Aaron Kelly to take the anti-psychotic Abilify to treat an unspecified schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorder. The treatment is scheduled to last until late September when he will return to court to determine if he is competent to stand trial for murder and attempted murder. If he has not improved, his treatment could be extended. Kelly objected to the ruling. He has refused any medications stronger than a multivitamin during his four months at the facility.
