Colorado shooting: James Holmes's psychiatrist warned he was making 'homicidal statements' Prosecutors last week rejected an offer by Holmes's to plead guilty and announced instead they would seek the death penalty for the 25-year-old, who faces 12 counts of first-degree murder and a host of other charges. The newly-released documents shed some light on Holmes's movements in the weeks before the killing, including how he legally ordered hundreds of rounds of ammunition by mail from the website BulkAmmo.com. On June 12 of last year, Dr Fenton approached police at the University of Colorado, where Holmes had studied neuroscience before dropping out, to raise concerns about his behaviour. She told an officer that he was "having homicidal thoughts and also stated that James E Holmes had threatened and harassed her via e-mail/text messages." The University took the complaint seriously enough to deactivate Holmes' campus security pass, locking him out of university buildings. However, it appears that authorities at the University did not pass their concerns on to local enforcement. The warrants also reveal that on July 12, eight days before the killings, Holmes sent Dr Fenton a brown spiral notebook along with $400 in partially-burnt $20 bills. The notebook, which was not discovered until three days after the shooting, had "Of Life" written on the front and a sticky note with an "Infinity Design" on it. Bomb technicians said they believed the notebook was a journal but the warrants do not reveal what was written inside. The warrants describe how Holmes sat in the front row of theatre 9 during the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises and stepped out of an emergency exit at the front of the cinema, apparently pretending to take a phone call. He allegedly propped the door open and went out to his parked Hyundai, where he picked up his weapons and equipment before launching on the shooting spree. When police first arrived at the Century 16 multiplex they momentarily mistook Holmes for a fellow officer because of his gas mask and bullet-proof vest. After they confronted him, he told them he had acted alone and warned them that his apartment on nearby Paris Street was booby-trapped. Once officers cleared through the explosives that Holmes had left behind they found dozens of cans and bottles of beer, along with a Batman mask and depression medications.
