The ongoing saga surrounding 24-year-old James Holmes, accused of killing 12 people and injuring 58 others in a theater shooting July 20 in Colorado, continues to unfold. The Denver Post recently offered a series of updates on the former University of Colorado neuroscience student and suspected gunman:
Holmes’ psychiatrist went to a campus police officer with concerns about a patient the same day she met with Holmes in mid-June. The next day, Holmes’ key-card access to campus buildings was cut off. The day after that, Holmes began to withdraw from the university, the newspaper reports.
The University of Iowa rejected a 2011 application from Holmes, saying “Do NOT offer admission under any circumstances,” according to documents obtained by The Denver Post.
Holmes allegedly called the University of Colorado Hospital eight minutes before the massacre began — but the caller was silent and asked for no services, according to a hospital official cited in a Denver Post report. An attorney for Holmes has raised the suggestion that the suspected killer called the hospital seeking out his psychiatrist, the newspaper reports.
