Holmes Package Detailed Massacre

Was delivered to university eight days before shooting.

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.
