AURORA, Colorado- Investigators say a package from accused gunman James Holmes was found in the mailroom of the University of Colorado, Denver. The package, which was found Monday was handled by a bomb squad robot and x-rayed to check for explosives.
Sources say the letter was sent to one of Holmes' former professors, a psychiatrist. In the letter, he talked about shooting people and even included crude drawings of a gunman and his victims. The letter arrived days before last Friday's shooting but had not yet been processed out of the mailroom. The letter may help investigators learn more about Holmes, but experts say not to expect closure.
One expert says, "there is nothing that this individual could say to us that would cause us, the general public, to sit back and say now I understand why you did this."
Defense attorneys got their first look inside Holmes' apartment, where authorities say he had plans to kill police officers using explosives, booby traps and chemicals. Authorizes have released that apartment building from being a crime scene and residents who also live in the complex can now go come back home.
