DENVER (AP) — The Latest on a book written by a psychiatrist who spent hours interviewing Colorado theater shooter James Holmes (all times local):
11:10 a.m.
A psychiatrist who spent hours talking with mass murderer James Holmes says what led Holmes to open fire in a Colorado movie theater was a vortex of his mental illness, personality and circumstances, along with other, unknown currents.
William H. Reid says some of those currents will probably never come to light because they're locked inside Holmes' mind, and even Holmes isn't aware of them.
Reid was appointed by a judge to evaluate Holmes' mental health after the 2012 shootings at a theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora. He has written a book called "A Dark Night in Aurora: Inside James Holmes and the Colorado Mass Shootings."
Twelve people died and 70 were hurt in the attack. Holmes was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life without parole.

This item has been corrected to show the book's subtitle is "Inside James Holmes and the Colorado Mass Shootings," not "Inside James Holmes and the Colorado Theater Shootings."
