and even bizarre in his words. drew griffin is tracking that part of the story. >> reporter: james holmes applied online on june 25th to join a private gun range about a half hour drive from where he was living. the owner there called back and got a message on james holmes message machine that he described as very weird, almost like the person leaving the message was drunk, he told us gutteral, weird, bizarre, a deep forced voice on reportedly james holmes message machine. he said to his staff this guy doesn't get anywhere near our range until i meet him personally. he told one of our producers he didn't know if this guy was an idiot or what was happening. it was only after the killing

that his staff went back and remembered the name matched this guy who had applied online and they found out that this is indeed the guy who applied online to join their gun range and had this very, very odd message machine at his home. it's just bits and pieces but we now know that james holmes was at least trying or attempting to get to a gun range to practice perhaps with the guns that he was using allegedly to kill all of these people. >> drew griffin reporting from denver. tomorrow morning this crime moves to the court. suspect james holmes makes his initial court appearance. what are the expectations, ed? >> reporter: it will be his first court appearance and the judge in this case is allowing a camera into the courtroom. it will be the first glimpse that anyone has gotten of james holmes since he was taken into custody in the early hours of

friday morning. in the meantime investigators continue to do their work. they have wrapped up most of their work here. we are just now across the street from the apartment. the windows to his apartment smashed out by bomb technician crews that have been working here through most of the day on friday and saturday, as well. all of that evidence, many of the belongings inside his home have already been taken away. you can imagine investigators are combing through that. it is probably the original court appearances are quick and brief. we will see if there is any indication as to whether or not he has a defense attorney yet or if one is being appointed for him. that is scheduled for 9:30 tomoow morng mtainti posted. we'll be covering that and presenting live coverage we can on that court appear rns

tomorrow. the youngest victim of this massacre was a six-year-old girl who loved school and loved playing dressup. veronica moser-sullivan was at the batman movie with her mom. her mother was critically wounded in the shooting. her aunt said the little girl just learned to swim and was very excited about life. she was an only child. her mother remains hospitalized. some wounded in the theater that night are describing in vivid detail how they narrowly escaped death. live from aurora where they are preparing for a vigil as well this evening. i imagine people coming together will find comfort as best they can. >> reporter: they going to try to. we are going to see all levels of the state try to come together. we will see the governor, mayor, victims, first responders, family members trying to take the first step of healing. what ware also seeing and hearing from the people who

actually survived this shooting is extraordinary tales of heroism. we met a man who took three different fragments, three different guns are in his body. pierce o-ferrill believes there must be a higher power because he has lived to talk about it and that he says he came within just inches of the gunman. >> i felt him literally standing right above me. i mean, his boot couldn't have been no more than six inches away from my head. >> reporter: he was six inches from you? >> he was standing right above me. >> reporter: are you angry at him? >> no. i can sit across the table from him and look him in the eye and just talk to him. >> reporter: and it's really

just extraordinary to hear that message of forgiveness that he says he has. he shared that with his minister. today at his church we saw the minister sharing that message of forgiveness with the members of the congregation helping his community to try to begin the long process of healing. we are already starting to hear the victims trying to help everyone else begin that process. >> thanks so much. of course that vigil taking place later on this evening. i appreciate that in aurora. earlier today i talked with aurora's mayor about how his community will heal from this tragedy. >> we will have to live with this literally forever. hopefully over the coming days and weeks and months we will all feel better about where it is. but you know aurora, colorado prior to friday was a diverse,

blue collar safe community. we are listed on the fbi's list of ten most safe cities above a population of 250,000. so this is just not normal for aurora. but we know we'll have to live with it and we'll have to move forward. we will have to take this tragedy. first we'll deal with the families and the survivors. but then we will have to take this tragedy and figure out how to move forward. as i said earlier we will. we will. >> mayor steve hogan of aurora. a teenager who survived friday's massacre is talk about the shock of being shot in the face. >> shattered my gums, knocked out a tooth, moved this tooth and then just landed down here in my chin.

pretty good souvenir i got, i think. it's weird feeling it. like just real shocking. >> doctors say they are leaving the bullet in her chin because removing it could cause more damage. right now more than a dozen victims from the shooting remain hospitalized. eight are in crical condition. joining me on the phone is dr. frank lanzville, an emergency room physician at the medical center of aurora. i know you are very busy. how are the patients doing at your hospital? i understand there ar seven remaining at your hospital right now receiving treatment. >> seven are still in the hospital. four are in the intensive care unit. two are in critical condition but all are stable and improving. >> a any othese patients expressing anything to you or other medical providers there about their state of mind? >> i think a lot of them are starting to feel some of the

stress and anxiety from what had occurred to them. i think they are all doing quite well. they have a lot of support around them, their families. hopefully over the next couple of days they will continue to show improvement. >> and the greatest challenges for you as medical providers and the greatest challenges for the patients? >> i think the emotional toil that this is going to take on people is going to be something that will start surfacing over the next couple of days. we as physicians and nurses and staff members here certainly this is something we do but certainly not on this scale. and we are hoping that they will come forward if they have any needs from us. at the same time looking at these patients, hoping that they're supported not only by their family members but the community in general. >> thanks so much. the medical center of aurora. we wish you all the best. >> thank you. are you a friend or a family

[ male announcer ] stop the uh-oh fast with kaopectate. now to international stories to share with you. three americans are dead after an afghan policeman opened fire at a training center. the victims are believed to be police trainers. in norway a moment of silence to mark the one year anniversary of the worst massacre there since world war ii. 77 people were killed when a man went on a rampage with bombs and guns. he is on trial. in bulgaria police have been alerted to the possibility of a second suspect in a suicide bomb attack. five tourists and a bus driver were killed last week. investigators say they are looking at the possibility that the suicide bomber may have had help. in syria there has been intense fighting and shelling in

alepo and damascus today and rebels saying they ceased a border gate. president bashar al-assad made his second appearance today on state tv since the bombing killed members of his inner circle. more on this. rebels are gaining some ground but at the same time the government is not letting up. might this however be kind of a tipping point in this conflict? >> if they are able to seize both damascus and aleppo, yes. at this point we see that the rebels are definitely gaining momentum. they have gained confidence. they are better organized. they have really managed to take the fight to the regime's door step, damascus and aleppo so they are able to take those then it will be a tipping point. at this point they really, really have gained in momentum

and confidence. >> what does this mean that there has been a military hospital under fire? what is the condition and the state there? how does that measure in this whole conflict? >> we have been telling our viewers this is very hard to send in correspondents. a british corresponden got in and was taken by the regime to this military hospital. the machine gun mess. you see witnesses saying helicopters were used to dislodge rebels. the regime denies it. while he was at the hospital a fight broke out and it came under attack just as they were about to bury more than 50 soldiers who died in battle. that gives you a sense with pieces of information that the regime is losing a lot of soldiers. >> and it sounds like citizens are getting bolder, too. if it is not launching arsenal,

home made bombs, etc., but now the symbolism is being played out by people hitting the statues. >> which is the economic life line of the regime. >> to the north of damascus. three million people live there. and so we saw these pictures of people. >> that is the ultimate insult. >> to use your shoes. this is the father of the president bashar al-assad. >> thanks so much for bringing that to us. the conflict only seems to bubble up even more as opposed to seeming like it is coming to resolution. >> lots of setback on the dip allmatic front. today there were reports that the u.s. and other friends of syria people are looking to organize themselves outside the u.n. where they haven't been able to gain any traction. >> incredible. >> you can see the

intensification of the fighting while it is happening. half a world away in new york they are trying to come up with something. the arab league is meeting at an emergency meeting just as we speak trying to come up with a plan. nothing is working. 16 months now into this conflict it is only getting worse and more deadly. >> thanks for keeping us posted. appreciate that. the ncaa says it will punish penn state's football program like never before. the announcement comes on the same day the iconic statue of joe paterno came down. this is $100,000.

the paterno legacy takes another huge hit. npr sports correspondent back for some smart sports talk. good to see you. let's get straight to the latest on penn state's football program. the iconic statue coming down as a result of the scathing independent report, the statue of joe paterno and now the ncaa apparently is going to have a press conference tomorrow, monday. they are claiming that they will

be imposing unecedented penalties against penn state. are they talking penn state or what else? >> the word unprecedented would mean we are not talking death penalty. some of the people reported said it won't be the death penalty. i don't think there is a bigger misnomer in sports than death penalty. smu football got it in '85. the death penalty is a one year total sesation of all football activity. it is seen as very harsh. it is seen as it set the smu program back longer than they had intended. i think a good precedent to look for is what happened with the baylor men's basketball program. there was a murder, one of the members of the team actually murdered a teammate. the coach was involved in a cover up, perhaps not directly

of the murder but giving away scholarships. it was a total mess and fiasco and very unmoral. what they did with baylor was the only games you play next year are against conference opponents. this took away half the schedule and a bunch of scholarships or even harsher. maybe bowls for a number of years may be in the offing for penn state. no literal death penalty but everyone is thinking it will be a harsh, harsh penalty. >> you think the football program will go on but just with new restrictions in place such as no bowl games or conference games like you mentioned? >> there needed to be something harsh to make a statement. maybe penn state could add to that to make a statement of their own. let's witch to olympic games, opening ceremonies on friday. everyone is looking forward to watching swimming, track and field, gymnastics. you say don't overlook some

other events where there are serious american contenders. >> i want to talk about americans o might and could medal. everybody knows the teams. the women's rowing. the americans dominate this sport. some countries put their best rower in a single or doubles boat but the united states says we have a collection. we probably have ten or 12 of the best female rowers in the world. let's put eight of them in the same boat. the composition of the women in the boat is so impressive. graduates of harvard, princeton, yale, ithaca, stanford. >> georgetown. >> i always joke that if standardized tests were part of it we would win gold two times over. the u.s. women because of title nine a real advantage.

there is a fencer that does the saber. she has won a couple of gold medales. absolute favorite. it is a tough event to watch. watch the lights. she could be a winner. another great american and i will give you this one because she will probably medal early on. her name is kim rodey. she shoots skeet. she is as good in her spt as just about anyone in the world is at their sport. if she does win in skeet that will be in the first weekend. >> you could have serious staying power in that sport. you probably peak as you mature. >> one thing that happened to her is she used to shoot trap shooting and they eliminated it and now she shoots skeet. she says it is as if she were a diver and they told her to do

the butterfly. it is in a pool but different. >> i know you look at your "new york times" and look at the sports section. when we talk about olympians let's talk about the 1948 olympians shocased here. we are talking about a return to london after more than 60 years. this is frank havens. if you check out page four there is a familiar face. that's my dad '48 track and field olympian. he and bill smith and coachman being showcased in this beautiful photo diary and gallery. did you check this out? >> it is marvelous. his time stood for a long, long time. he was dominant like i'm telling you. >> i like it. keep telling me. >> i also have at home this thick biography. it can stop a clock.

he did a lot of great things internationally afterwards. that is the great thing about the olympics it is not just i am done and have to find a job. it propels a lot of these people into greatness. >> it is spectacular about the men and women and they say the golden years and the greatest generation. they were because a lot of their olympic hopes were nearly dashed because of world war ii. they hung in there and many of them who peaked at 17 and 18 had to wait until their early 20s in order to be in the '48 games. my dad along with many other olympians will make the trip to london. it is going to be a really great trip to the olympic games this year. >> awesome. >> good talking to you, mike. we will talk more about olympic stuff as the days go on. >> i will talk to you from london. >> thanks so much, mike. appreciate it. we'll be right back after this.

will be coming up. don joining us outside of the site of the shooting, the movie theater. it is going to take an awful lot of time for the healing, the wound is very deep, still very fresh. >> it certainly is. just being in this community and walking around and speaking to people it seems surreal. to see the movie theater over my shoulder. i spoke with folks, some of the people in the theater when the gunman went on the rampage. they said they don't want to look at it. it pains them to come back to the shooting where it happened. we will be talking about the president's visit and speaking with officials here and talking quite frankly a little politics, gun control rearing its head right now as this controversy is unfolding. >> don, thanks so much. i know you are getting ready for your show in about 30 minutes and you have a prime time

special at 8:00. let's take a look at live pictures of air force one landing there at buckley air force base just outside of aurora. he will be making his way to various locations in aurora to meet personally with a lot of the victims. don, i spoke earlier with the mayor of aurora. and i spoke with the state representative all of whom expressed they are very pleased at the president is going to come and offer his support and his comfort and really thought it is the right thing that he will do it in a much more intimate setting as opposed to a sizable prayer vigil. >> at first they weren't sure if the president was going to make any public remarks. he is going to meet with the family members and some of the victims. we'll have to see how it plays out when he is here. you are right. some people at first were saying it was political that the

president was coming here and now back tracking saying of course he is the president of the united states. should be here offering comfort to the family and victims, as well. one of them i spoke to yesterday. you were talking about sully. alex sullivan. he was one of 11 people from the red robin restaurant who went to the theater to celebrate his birthday. christina blache was with him. she works with him. she was shot in the leg. i spoke with her in the hospital yesterday. listen to what she told me about being in that theater and about being in a war zone and how she compared the two. >> this was worse because i had to sit there and watch like my friends and people that we were just laughing and joking with five minutes prior, never saw it coming. they didn't sign up for that. they didn't sign up to be shot

that night. if you are in the military you sign up for it possibly risking you life. whereas these people were going to a movie to enjoy themselves to spend time with family or friends. they didn't sign up to be shot. >> as we now look at air force one at buckley air force base some of the people who are in the hospital won't get to meet the president but he is going to meet with some of them. he won't be able to talk to all of them. we will be here watching and reporting it to you. >> something tells me a lot of the victims in the hospital who are unable to leave to go to the vigil will be watching and will feel that they have a place there and so many hearts are being extended to them as they continue to heal. we'll be checking with you in less than 30 minutes from now in aurora. those live pictures of air force one touching down in aurora. that shooting taking place during the screening of the new batman movie, "the dark knight

take you straight to aurora, colorado. live pictures now of the president of the united states emerging and going on the stairs as he makes his way to aurora, colorado offering comfort to the many victims there, being greeted by a number of dignit arys on the ground. it arrived just outside of aurora. the president is there to meet

one-on-one in private with a number of the victims, family members and officials in aurora just a couple of days after the tragic massacre at that movie theater. there is a prayer vigil scheduled for later on this evening but the president elected not to attend that feeling it would be a lot more personal to have private meetings, instead, with the people in aurora. we talked to a number of people from the mayor of aurora, steve hogan to a state representative all expressing that they are very pleased at the president has made a way there and showing his leadership there in a place so terribly torn by tragedy th unfolded in the early morning hours of friday. of course, we will continue to watch the developments there, out of aurora. of course, when we learn of what kinds of words the president has chosen to convey to the victims, to the family members and officials will be able to bring that to you. we will be having a special

prime time this evening report at 8:00. we will have complete coverage of the vigil and the president's visit. and we'll keep you posted on all of that there from aurora, colorado. as friends and family and victims of the colorado shooting mourn the loss of their loved ones warner brothers, the company behind "the dark knight rises" has decided not to report box office figures today saying out of respect for the victims and their families warner brothers pictures will not be reporting box office numbers for "the dark knight rises" throughout the weekend. box office numbers will be released on monday. explain why we know the statement says they want to be empathetic and sympathetic to the victims. why is this cause for concern that maybe their request has not been honored?

>> well, this would have been in poor taste to release those numbers this weekend. we saw the studio taking the steps to cancel the paris premiere. they nixed that. people behind the scenes you can imagine the intense discussions that took place saying it would be in poor taste to talk numbers in a time of trendous loss. the numbers have been leaked. warner brothers taking the step to not release the numbers. >> so why even monday? that still seems rather soon if warner brothers has made the decision that throughout the weekend they wouldn't release the numbers. why is it important to acknowledge that monday would be the best opportunity to do so? >> sundays are usually estimates. those are the days that box office receipts come out. mondays are the actual numbers. because of the studios haven't been saying specifically saying whey they are taking the steps

they say they will release them tomorrow. there have been other studios falling suit. it is not just warner brothers honoring those who lost so many in the tragedy. >> thanks so much joining us from california from los angeles right there. meantime also in california lots of concerns being expressed about michael jackson's mother. apparently she was reported missing. katherine jackson's whereabouts became the focus of a family feud and a police report. our abundant natural gas is already saving us money, producing cleaner electricity, putting us to work here in america and supporting wind and solar. though all energy development comes with some risk, we're committed to safely and responsibly producing natural gas. it's not a dream. america's natural gas... putting us in control of our energy future, now.

there are more people taking more medication, so we see people suffering from dry mouth more so. we may see more cavities, bad breath, oral irritation. a dry mouth sufferer doesn't have to suffer. i would recommend biotene. the enzymes in biotene products help supplement enzymes that are naturally in saliva. biotene helps moisten those areas that have become dry. those that are suffering can certainly benefit from biotene. matthew mcquinn's family agonized for hours before they found out he was killed in the aurora movie theater shooting. he was at the movie with his girlfriend and her brother. witnesses say he died while trying to shield his girlfriend from the barrage of bullets. to make matters worst for this girlfriend the hospital wouldn't

confirm his condition to her because she was not related. >> matthew mcquinn was just 27 years old. his girlfriend was shot in the knee and is expected to make a full recovery. the whole country is mourning the loss of 12 innocent lives in the colorado shooting and the chief topic of conversation on the sunday morning talk shows was gun laws. let's listen to the highlights. >> what i hear from you is that you would be open to people who wanted to suggest a gun law or something that might prevent this sort of thing. >> again, this person if there were no assault weapons available or no this or no that this guy is going to find something. he is going to know how to create a bomb. who knows where his mind would have gone. clearly a very intelligent individual however twisted. >> i believe that a revolver, a rifle, a shot gun isn't going to

do the damage. it's the bigclipse. it's 100 rounds. why do you need this? you don't need it for hunting. most states have limits on the number of bullets you can have on a clip. you don't need it for self defense. why do you need it? why do we make it available? >> this is really not an issue of guns. it is really an issue of freedom. i swore an oath to defend the constitution. part of that constitution is the second amendment which guarantees the right to bear arms. >> the supreme coursaid that yes we have the second amendment and the right to bear guns but reasonable restrictions are constitutional. and i think the congress passed reasonable restrictions but to not enforce them is just ridiculous. >> the killer in norway was in a country that had very strict gun control laws and he was still able to acquire the necessary mains to initiate and carry out a mass slaughter.

i think we need to look at everything if everything should be looked at. but to think that somehow gun control is or increased gun control is the answer in my view that would have to be proved. >> there seems to be some confusion about the whereabouts of michael jackson's mother, katherine. a nephew reported katherine jackson missing. then jermaine jackson tweeted mother is fine but is resting up in arizona on orders of a doctor, not us. it took 400 tons of explosives for the grand palace hotel to come crashing down in new orleans. officials say the demolition went smoothly after they bussed 130 people away from the site for safety reasons. we are getting for a week ahead including a look at financial reports to keep an eye on. new sprint direct connect.

the accused gunman 24-year-old jaumz holmes will make his first court appearance tomorrow. those who knew him described a

quiet, academically-gifted student who kept to himself. someone bearing no resemblance to the person who open d fed fin a packed theater. dan simon has more. >> reporter: the face seemed familiar and then he remembered, dave casper owns a san diego pawnshop and recalls holmes looking at guns a few months ago. >> to find out that he used firearms in the commission of his crime and that he had been in here looking at firearms is kind of -- a little bit unsettling. >> reporter: a few miles away in the middle-class neighborhood where holmes grew up, a portrait is emerging. not of someone who was violent or had an intense interest in w weapons, but a quiet, intellectually astute young man. >> obviously, the intellectual capacity to do whatever he wanted to do. >> out of the 20,000 students at the university of california riverside, holmes was among the very brightest according to the school's chancellor.

ed a mitted on a academic scholarship, he graduated in 2010 with a degree in neuroscience and considered one of the most challenging scientific curricula. >> it is one of the most rigorous majors and it leads to careers in medicine and science and research and in a whole host of allied health areas. >> reporter: holmes appeared to come from a stable family. his father seen here is distressed and a manager of a software company and his mother is a nurse. >> very, very sad day. they are working with and communicating with the authorities and really, that is all we can say. >> reporter: julie adams is among those who gather ed at ed family's house. her son played on the same soccer team as holmes'. >> it is a quiet neighborhood and a neighborhood that people move to because the school district is one of the top school districts in the nation, and that is why people move to this community. >> reporter: at this point we have not discovered anything in the upbringing that points to a troubled individual. holmes spent one of the college

s summers here working as a camp counselor to underprivileged children. he was responsible for the care and the guidance of approximately ten kids and we are told no incidents and nothing happened out of the ordinary during his time here. few answers for those looking to understand how this academically-gifted young man could be accused of being a violent killer. >> and later on this evening, don lemon is going to be reporting live from aurora, colorado. he will be covering the president's visit as well as tonight's planned vigil. all right. so how's the housing recovery coming along across the country? we will learn much more in the next few days and a big weak for main street and wall street with reports of home values and the new home sales and homes under contract are due out this week. i spoke with todd schoneberger about all of that last hour. >> a tremendous amount going on, because americans want to know are the housing values going up or continuing to go lower? we will find out tuesday.

plus, we have a critical housing report on new home sales and are the people actually buying the homes? so we are looking for some type of uptick and hopefully that ll continue throughout the summer. this is is a big report card coming out this week. >> okay. and major news, potentially on earnings reports as well? >> that's right. because apple releases their earning report on tuesday, and everybody wants to know how many ipads they sold, but also how many iphones they sold because the iphone 5 is rolling out this fall. you had that and the facebook earnings release coming out thursday at 4:00. this is the first earnings report since the company went public and as you know, fred ree car, it was not a great ipo, so it remains to be seen how it turned out for them. >> then thursday, we will see if there was fallout for users a of the disastrous debut from the tok market. today is the last sunday before the olympics begin, and the best of the best facing off against each other, and lot of

them are professional athletes and not amateur. so why are so many up in arms? cnn columnist bob green is surprised that most people are not. he explains the argument. >> for a change in the olympic rules that were so huge, the sort of astonishing thing is how it was greet ed by the public, and in the long run with a yawn. the sacrosanct rule of the olympics is that amateurs could compete, and professionsals couldn't. if an athlete was paid money for the sport or received money for ad support, he was out cold. so in the 1980s with the move to allow the professionals into the olympics was growing the public thought it was no big deal. they knew that the athletes were paid and that was accepted. the reason for all of this was television, and the international olympic committee in the el the vision age realized enormous amounts of money to be made from the

worldwide broadcast, be tow maximimathe viewership, what was needed was the biggest and the most famous names in sports and that was often the professionals. the epitome of this was the 1992 dream team of american nba players who went to barcelona know i knowing that they were going the win, a and they did by almost 44 points a game. but there was a downside to this. remember the 1980 u.s. olympic hockey team, the "do you believe in miracles" team? this is the converse. when you are that good, when you are that professional and talented, the world tends to root against you and the miracle comes from the other teams. now if anyone wanted to go back to the supposedly pristine days of competition for competition , ere is a veasyay too it. get rid of tdy marketers and the promoters and all of the international olympic committee would have to do is to add one sentence to the olympic charter,

the olympic games shall not be televised. right. >> and you can read bob's columns and other great opinions on that issue of the shape of the world at cnn.com/opinion. thank you so much for joining us. i'm fredricka whitfield and newsroom continues at the top of the hour with don lemon from aurora, colorado. have a great week. experience life well lit, ask for transitions adaptive lenses. we asked total strangers to watch it for us. thank you so much, i appreciate it, i'll be right back.
