Washington Post Reports: Colorado shooting suspect James Holmes was seeing psychiatrist at university before massacre

The shooting suspect in the Colorado theater rampage was seeing a university psychiatrist specializing in schizophrenia in the weeks before the July 20 attack, according to court records released Friday.

James Holmes was seeing Lynne Fenton, the director of student mental health services at the University of Colorado and a medical school professor. Holmes was a first-year graduate student in a neuroscience Ph.D. program.


Holmes sent a notebook to Fenton, his lawyers said in motions to the court Friday. The notebook included crude drawings depicting a mass killing, according to news reports, but it remains unclear when the notebook reached the university.

Holmes’s lawyers at the public defender’s office have asked the judge overseeing the case to find out who leaked information to the media about the notebook and its contents, arguing that Holmes’ privacy and constitutional rights have been violated.

University officials have declined to discuss the notebook, but have acknowledged that a package mailed to a university staffer was seized by police Monday as evidence in the Holmes case. University officials have repeatedly declined to answer questions about whether Holmes was seeing a counselor or psychiatrist at the University.

Fenton, medical director of the counseling facility, has written numerous papers and launched research in the area of schizophrenia. She did not respond to calls to her home and office.

A new foil in the case. Holmes' symptoms of mind control can be explained as schizophrenia. Will they play the mental illness card in gun control?
