James Eagan Holmes held in Colorado shooting

The Washington Post reports:

James Holmes had wanted to be a neuroscientist. He was in a graduate program in neurosciences at the Denver campus of the University of Colorado. This spring, Holmes took a course titled “Biological Basis of Psychiatric and Neurological Disorders.”

But the 24-year-old performed poorly on his comprehensive tests this spring. He was in serious academic trouble, according to a faculty member who spoke on condition of anonymity. His solution was to quit. The school said Friday that Holmes was in the process of withdrawing from the program.
