AURORA SHOOTING: SUSPECT CALLED A PSYCHIATRIST MINUTES BEFORE SHOOTING

Defense attorneys revealed in court on Thursday that the suspect in the Colorado shooting that left 12 people dead and 58 wounded, tried unsuccessfully to call his university psychiatrist nine minutes before he opened fire during a Batman movie premiere.

James Holmes placed the call to a number at a hospital at the University of Colorado,  where he could reach psychiatrist Lynne Fenton, defense attorney said.

It wasn't clear why he called Fenton, and she wasn't immediately available to talk to him. Holmes is accused in the July 20 shooting that left 12 people dead and 58 wounded.

The detail about the call came out during a hearing about Holmes' relationship with Fenton, to whom he mailed a package containing a notebook that reportedly contained violent descriptions of an attack.

Omg!! If only she had taken the call, the disaster might have been avoided.
