Suspicious package handed to police

DENVER -- The University of Colorado, Denver confirmed Wednesday it received a suspicious package on campus that it turned over to authorities, but the university wouldn't confirm the package's contents or whether the sender was a former neuroscience graduate student accused of killing 12 people in the Colorado movie theatre assault.

The university said Wednesday the package was immediately investigated and turned over to authorities within hours of its delivery Monday.

But the Fox News website, citing unnamed law-enforcement sources, reported shooting suspect James Holmes sent a notebook to the school and it sat in a mailroom unopened since at least July 12.

Fox said it contained drawings of stick figures being shot and a written description of an upcoming attack. The package was addressed to a psychiatrist at the school, the website reported. It was unclear if Holmes, 24, had had any previous contact with the person.
