DA: Alleged Aurora theater shooter James Holmes made death threats in March

Suspected theater shooter James Holmes told a classmate in March that he wanted to kill people and that he would do so “when his life was over,” according to recently unsealed court documents filed by the prosecution.

The court record — filed in an attempt to obtain documents from the University of Colorado — also alleged Holmes made a threat June 12 to a professor and was denied access to campus at that point.

“After he was denied access to the CU-Denver Anschutz campus he began a detailed and complex plan to obtain firearms, ammunition, a tear-gas grenade, body armor, a gas mask and a ballistic helmet, which were used in the commission of the murders and attempted murders,” prosecutors wrote.
