Cinema killer’s psychiatrist had warned police

New questions are confronting the university that Colorado theatre shooting suspect James Holmes attended amid disclosures that a psychiatrist warned campus police a month before the deadly assault that Holmes was dangerous and had homicidal thoughts.

Court documents just made public cited Dr Lynne Fenton, a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado, Denver who had treated Holmes. The documents said Fenton told a campus police officer in June that the shooting suspect also threatened and intimidated her.

It was more than a month before the Jul 20 attack at a cinema that killed 12 and injured 70.
