Officials at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus were looking into whether Holmes, a former doctoral student in neuroscience, used his position in a graduate program to collect hazardous materials.

Holmes’ reasons for quitting the doctoral program in June remained a mystery. He recently took an intense, three-part oral exam that marks the end of the first year. University officials would not say if he passed, citing privacy concerns.

The family’s pastor recalled a shy boy who was driven to succeed academically. “He wasn’t an extrovert at all. If there was any conversation, it would be because I initiated it, not because he did,” said Jerald Borgie, who last spoke with Holmes about six years ago.

Sunday was a day for healing and remembrance in Aurora. Several thousand people attended a prayer vigil, and President Barack Obama visited with families of the victims. Obama said he told the families that “all of America and much of the world is thinking about them.”

北京时间7月24日消息，据国外媒体报道，丹佛影院《黑暗骑士崛起》首映枪击案嫌犯詹姆斯·霍尔姆斯于美国时间周一首次出庭，席上染着红发的他大多时间向下看着桌子，偶尔茫然地抬眼，一言不发。詹姆斯被指控为一级谋杀，如果罪名成立，最终将被判处死刑。

詹姆斯的父亲，罗伯特·霍尔姆斯在儿子作案后第二天飞到科罗拉多，他和詹姆斯的母亲都向受害者家属表示歉意，还通过律师表示不愿意向外界说太多他们和儿子的关系。
