A federal grand jury has returned a 68-count indictment against Robert Dear, the man accused of shooting and killing three people and wounding nine others at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2015.

Federal officers took Dear into custody Monday morning at the State Mental Hospital in Pueblo. He appeared Monday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nina Y. Wang in Denver to be advised of the charges.

According to the 13-page indictment, Dear intended to wage “war” on the clinic because it offered abortion services. To that end, he arrived at the health care clinic Nov. 27, 2015, armed with six rifles, five handguns, a shotgun, more than 500 rounds of ammunition and propane tanks he intended to detonate as law enforcement officers approached.
