AURORA, United States, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- James Holmes, the suspected shooter in the recent Colorado cinema massacre, had called a University of Colorado (CU) emergency number nine minutes before the shooting started, a court hearing revealed Thursday.
The revelation came when attorneys asked Holmes' psychiatrist Lynne Fenton if she was aware of the fact that Holmes made such calls.
Fenton said she met Holmes for their only session on June 11 and she was so alarmed by her communication with Holmes that she contacted CU police on the following day.
Fenton said they had no further communication since then.
After Holmes emerged as the prime suspect of the mass shooting on July 20 in a Colorado cinema that left 12 people dead and 58 others injured, police found out he had failed a critical exam four days before his meeting with Fenton and later withdrew from the CU neuroscience PhD program.
On center stage of the district court was a notebook Holmes mailed to Fenton the day before the shooting that prosecuting attorneys are trying to obtain, deemed critical in their case against Holmes.
