AURORA, Colorado: University of Colorado officials have faced questions about whether the suspect in last week’s shooting rampage tried to warn a psychiatrist about his plan up to a week before the incident.

The questions arose after Fox News reported that the shooting suspect, James Holmes, a graduate student, had posted to a university psychiatrist a detailed journal that foreshadowed a gun-blazing massacre - in a package that was not opened before the killings.

University officials declined to provide details about a package seized from the campus by police on Monday, other than to say that campus mail was delivered promptly and no parcels would sit for a week in the university’s mail room.

On Wednesday The Denver Post quoted an unidentified law-enforcement official as confirming that Mr Holmes had mailed a notebook to the psychiatrist. The official told the paper he did not know what it contained.

University officials and representatives for local and federal law enforcement agencies did not dispute the reports of Mr Holmes’s journal. They said a judge’s order prevented them discussing the investigation.
