CO SHOOTING-2 SHOT

ALSO TODAY, NEW INFORMATION IS COMING OUT ABOUT THE ACCUSED SHOOTER, JAMES HOLMES.

A LOT HAS BEEN MADE ABOUT HIS BEHAVIOR IN COURT AND THIS MORNING, JAIL OFFICIALS SAY HE WAS *NOT MEDICATED DURING THE HEARING.

CO SHOOTING-PKG

Even before this bizarre spectacle of james holmes in court. with that

shock of orange hair. and that face. looking alternately bug-eyed.

bored. and blasted.

even before this. police sources tell abc news that holmes has been

acting in an extremely strange manner. ever since he was taken into

custody. refusing to cooperate. acting as if he was unaffected by his

arrest. and even. when officers put evidence bags over his hands to

preserve the gun powder residue. pretending they were hand puppets.

the james holmes we're seeing now is universe away from the clean-cut, up-

and-coming neuroscientist he once was.

he was so out of it in court that his defense attorney had to nudge him to

rise when the judge entered. and he remained utterly glazed. even when

the judge denied him bail.

nat--judge- "you are currently being held on a no bond hold."

sources tell abc news that holmes was not drugged. experts we polled

theorized that he was either losing his grip on reality. overwhelmed by

stress. or faking it, in order to get an insanity plea.

meanwhile prosecutors say this is still a very active investigation

carol chambers -attorney for the 18th judicial district

we are still looking at an enormous amount of evidence and we would never

presume that it would be slam dunk.

the court hearing may not have provided any clues as to what made holmes

allegedly snap. but this morning. we are learning much more about his

downward spiral.

as he used the internet to amass his arsenal of guns and ammo. he also

took time to troll for dates. posting this profile on match.com. that

read, "will you visit me in prison?"

campus officials at the university of colorado medical school. where

holmes was studying for neuroscience phd. say he was receiving an elite

federal grant that funded his studies. and gave him 26 thousand dollars a

year in spending money. meaning he could have used our tax dollars to buy

all those guns.

as holmes sits in jail. his parents. through a spokesperson. said they

are standing by their son.

"Rain chances slipping away"

Rain chances are coming down today as the tropical moisture starts heading for the exit gates, leaving us with a hotter and drier weather pattern through the end of the week.

It appears enough lingering moisture will still be in play to produce a few isolated downpours and thunderstorms late in the morning through midday , but an onshore flow will push the spotty storms inland this afternoon.

We'll also enjoy a lot more sunshine today and, as a result, some warmer temperatures. Most spots will be on track to see lower 90s this afternoon except near the beaches where temperatures will stay a couple degrees lower.

Winds will be light and variable this morning before becoming southwesterly from 5-10 later in the afternoon. For the boaters and beach goers, winds will be primarily out of the southwest around 5 knots this afternoon, putting seas and open waters at 2 feet or less while inland waters stay at a light chop.

Inland storms will fade by sunset tonight, leaving all of us with clearing skies and lows in the middle 70s.

BY NOW, MOST OF US AVOID CLICKING ON LINKS IN SHADY-LOOKING EMAILS, POTENTIAL PHISHING ATTEMPTS TO GATHER PERSONAL INFORMATION OR INSTALL MALWARE.

SO THERE'S ANOTHER TRICK GROWING IN POPULARITY, ONE THAT WEB USERS MAY NOT THINK ABOUT.

WHETHER SEARCHING FOR NEWS ON A HOT TOPIC LIKE CELEBRITY GOSSIP, A NEW GADGET, OR A MAJOR WORLD EVENT, OR EVEN SOMETHING AS MUNDANE AS A RECIPE, BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU CLICK.

THAT SEARCH RESULT COULD BE A TAINTED LINK.

People are always aware that they should be careful with their email and what they click on. That same level of awareness needs to be there when you're on a search engine, or for that matter, on Facebook or something.

MANY COMPANIES AND ENTITIES SPEND TIME AND MONEY PINPOINTING HOW TO GET THEIR SITE TO THE TOP OF A LIST OF SEARCH RESULTS. THAT'S CALLED SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZING.

SEARCH ENGINE POISONING USES THE SAME STRATEGY FOR SCAMMING. THE MAJOR SEARCH ENGINES ARE ALL ON THE LOOKOUT FOR IT, BUT TO KEEP YOUR COMPUTER SAFE.

-- KEEP YOUR SEARCHES TO TRUSTED SITES. WHEN LOOKING FOR NEWS ON A FAVORITE CELEBRITY, FOR EXAMPLE, STICK TO THE ESTABLISHED ENTERTAINMENT SITES.

-- AVOID WEB ADDRESS ENDINGS THAT DON'T LOOK FAMILIAR -- THEY COULD SPELL TROUBLE.

WE'RE TALKING 3000 ROUNDS FOR THE AR-15.ANOTHER 3000 ROUNDS FOR THE GLOCK AND OVER 300 SHOTGUN SHELLS. THAT WOULD BE MORE THAN 6 CASES OF TOTAL AMMUNITION -- SIX TIMES WHAT YOU SEE HERE ON THE COUNTER. IN FACT, SMALL GUN STORES LIKE THIS ONE DON'T KEEP THAT MUCH AMMO ON PREMISES, THOUGH THERE IS DEMAND FROM SOME CUSTOMERS TO BUY IN BULK

Competition shooting it's very common. They go through, they burn through a lot of ammunition in practice and in competition. They would buy it in the thousands.

WHERE IS IT EASY TO GET A LOT OF BULLETS? ONLINE. IN FACT THERE ARE WEB SITES WHERE YOU CAN PURCHASE AMMO A THOUSAND ROUNDS AT A TIME.THERES NO FEDERAL I-D OR BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIRED FOR PURCHASING AMMUNITION.

WHICH GUN CONTROL ADVOCATES SEE AS A PROBLEM.

By and large across our nation there is very limited, there are very few restrictions on the sale of ammunition.

A FEW STATES-- AND EVEN A FEW LOCAL GOVERNMENTS DO HAVE LAWS CONTROLLING THE SALE OF AMMUNITION. THOUGH GUN CONTROL ADVOCATES SAY ON THEIR SCORECARD COLORADO IS ONE OF THE MOST PERMISSIVE STATES IN THE COUNTRY.

HE ORIGINALLY CLAIMED HE WAS BEATEN BY A GROUP OF MEN.

SKATEBOARD FAIL-PKG

A woman said her family is relieved after Miami police say surveillance

video revealed that her brother actually fell off his skateboard after

telling police he was attacked by a group of men.

Rene Betancourt Jr., 22, was released from Jackson Memorial Hospital on

Tuesday, more than a week after the July 7 incident that left him with a

fractured skull, a broken nose, a damaged eye and several missing teeth.

Betancourt had told investigators he went to downtown Miami about 1 a.m.

July 7 to meet up with a group of skateboarders he had heard about online,

and a group of men severely beat him. His family told police that Betancourt

lost consciousness and did not call 911, but he woke up about 11:30 a.m.

and tried to drive himself to Jackson Memorial Hospital. He did not make it,

but relatives were able to get a hold of Betancourt and take him to the

hospital.

On Friday, Miami police said they reviewed surveillance video from an office

building near Northwest 12th Avenue and 14th Street. Investigators said it

shows Betancourt fall down while skateboarding, and then getting on the

building's elevator.

The video shows Betancourt crash into a wall in the parking garage, slamming

his head, then fall hard onto the ground, face-first. He lay there for

about five minutes before making his way to an elevator, and video there

showed him bent over in pain, police said.

Investigators said the kind of impact seen in the video is consistent with

Betancourt's injuries, which they initially thought were the result of a

beating.

Miami police said detectives believe Betancourt was injured in an accident

and was never beaten.

Kenia Reyes, of the Miami Police Department, said there were inconsistencies

in Betancourt's story from the beginning. She said police are not accusing

Betancourt of lying, but that he may have been confused after the crash.

Rene's sister, Andrea Betancourt, said their family was relieved her brother

's injuries were the result of an accident, and not someone violently

hurting him.

"For somebody to keep hitting somebody until their head is cracked, until

their head is fractured you have to keep hitting somebody you have to want

to hurt somebody. So we were just relieved that nobody was like trying to

hurt him or at worst kill him," she said.

Andrea said she doesn't think her brother was embarrassed the the video

shows him hitting a wall.

"Honestly I think he felt relieved too that it wasn't someone hitting him,"

she said. "He was starting to want to lock the doors and he was like you

never know what's going to happen so he was more confused too because they

convinced him that he got assaulted. He doesn't remember anything so for the

whole storyline to change and in his mind everything changed."

She said their father showed Rene the video and he said he remembers being

at the location, but doesn't remember what happened. He said he didn't

remember jumping back on his skateboard after the fall. She said her brother

was convinced he had been assaulted after assumptions were made by their

family.

"His eyes are all messed up, it looks like somebody punched him," Andrea

said. "And then you saw a line here which now, judging by the way he hit it,

it was the wall and here you saw a line and they were like, well, it's as

though somebody was hitting him with some kind of baton or something."

Reyes said the case is not closed yet and that investigators have not ruled
