Holmes Package Detailed Massacre

Much like other mass murderers, Aurora shooting suspect James Holmes seemingly wanted to be caught in the act. Holmes reportedly detailed his planned massacre in a notebook that he mailed to a University of Colorado psychiatrist more than a week before his shooting spree at a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises last Friday. Police and FBI agents found the unopened notebook Monday morning while searching the mailroom of the University of Colorado, Anschutz, medical-school campus, but it was reportedly delivered on July 12—eight days before the shooting. A law-enforcement official said the package contained “details about how he was going to kill people” and “drawings and illustrations of the massacre,” including gun-wielding stick figures opening fire on other stick figures.
