DENVER — A psychiatrist who treated James Holmes told campus police a month before the Colorado theater attack that Holmes had homicidal thoughts and was a danger to the public, according to documents released Thursday.
Dr. Lynne Fenton, a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado, Denver, told police in June that Holmes also threatened and intimidated her. It was more than a month before the July 20 attack at a movie theater that killed 12 and injured 70.
In the days after the attack, campus police said they had never had contact with Holmes, who was a graduate student at the university.
But campus police told investigators after the shooting that Fenton had contacted them, following her legal requirement to report specific threats to authorities, according to a search warrant affidavit.
Responding to media requests, a new judge Thursday ordered the release of records on the arrest of James Holmes, the gunman accused of last summer’s mass shooting at a Denver-area theater.
District Judge Carlos Samour said arrest and search warrant affidavits could be unsealed. KUSA-TV, published by Gannett, USA TODAY’s parent company, and the Associated Press were among news organizations that sought their release.
No documents had been made public by early Thursday evening.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys had expressed reservations about releasing the documents.
Sounds like the psychiatrist did her part, to bad no one heeded her warning .Barracuda.
