SOME *DISTURBING* NEW INFORMATION IS COMING TO LIGHT TODAY--
SURROUNDING THE MOVIE THEATRE MASSACRE IN COLORADO.
AUTHORITIES SAY THE SUSPECT--
JAMES HOLMES--
SENT A PSYCHIATRIST A "DETAILED NOTEBOOK"--
FULL OF INFORMATION ABOUT HOW HE WAS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE!
NBC2's HEATHER TURCO JOINS US IN THE STUDIO--
HEATHER.
Return to index of stories...
THAT "NOTEBOOK" SAT *UNOPENED*--
IN A MAILROOM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO FOR AS LONG AS A WEEK--
BEFORE IT WAS DISCOVERED.
AMONG THE IMAGES-
IS A "GUN WIELDING" STICK FIGURE--
BLOWING AWAY OTHER STICK FIGURES.
THE F-B-I ALSO SAYS THE "NOTEBOOK" HAS SEVERAL DRAWINGS--
AND MOST OF THEM "ILLUSTRATED A MASSACRE".
PLUS INTIMATE DETAILS IN *WORDS* ABOUT WHAT HOLMES WAS GOING TO DO.
THE SCHOOL IS NOT EXPLAINING *WHY* THAT NOTEBOOK SAT IN THE MAILROOM FOR UP TO A WEEK.
THIS SERVES AS A "CHILLING BACKDROP" IN AURORA--
AS THE SMALL TOWN COME TO GRIPS WITH WHAT HAPPENED AND WORK TO HEAL.
Return to index of stories...
A BITTERSWEET SURPRISE IT MUST'VE BEEN - FOR SURVIVORS OF THE MOVIE THEATER MASSACRE - WHEN THEY SAW THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS BATMAN, LAND LIKE A HERO IN THEIR HOSPITAL ROOMS.
CHRISTIAN BALE SPENT TIME WITH SEVEN PEOPLE SHOT DURING THAT MIDNIGHT SCREENING OF "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES."
HE ALSO SPOKE TO DOCTORS AND FIRST RESPONDERS - BROUGHT FLOWERS TO THE MEMORIAL NEAR THE MOVIE THEATER AND DIDN'T ANNOUNCE ANY OF IT, IN ADVANCE, TO THE MEDIA.
- He was amazing. He was kind, he was considerate./He was a true gentleman.
AT THE SAME TIME, WE'VE BEEN LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE ACCUSED REAL-LIFE VILLAIN, JAMES HOLMES.
ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF BEFORE THE SHOOTING, HOLMES TOOK A KEY ORAL EXAM THAT WAS PART OF HIS P-H-D PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO.
HE REPORTEDLY FAILED, AND THEN BOUGHT A HIGH-POWERED RIFLE THAT BECAME PART OF HIS CACHE.
EXPERTS SAY FAILING THAT TEST MIGHT'VE TRIGGERED A SICKNESS.
- All of those things could actually make a dormant schizophrenia come
out, and come out relatively quickly.
AND YET, IN THAT MOVIE THEATER, AUTHORITIES BELIEVE HOLMES ACTED LIKE A FOCUSED MARKSMAN.
THOSE GUNS - AN AR-15 ASSAULT-STYLE RIFLE - IN PARTICULAR. TAKE LOTS OF
TRAINING AND TARGET PRACTICE TO MASTER.
AND THE SHOOTER HAD WHAT LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS CALL A HIGH "HIT RATE"
AS INVESTIGATORS TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHERE HOLMES MIGHT'VE BEEN TRAINED - ONE VICTIM HAS A NEW SON NAMED HUGO MEDLEY.
HUGO'S FATHER CALEB WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD - BUT IS STILL ALIVE - AND RECOVERING.
MOM, WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE - UNHARMED.
Return to index of stories...
MOM AND BABY ARE FINE - HOWEVER CALEB MEDLEY, THE BABY'S FATHER - WHO I MENTIONED, REMAINS IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
ALSO TODAY - A COLORADO FATHER - 51-YEAR-OLD GORDON COWDEN, KILLED IN THE SHOOTINGS, WAS THE FIRST TO BE LAID TO REST.
THE GOVERNOR OF COLORADO AND THE MAYOR OF AURORA WERE AMONG THE MOURNERS.
GORDON HAD TAKEN HIS TWO TEENAGE CHILDREN TO THE SHOWING - HIS KIDS SURVIVED.
FAMILIES OF OTHER VICTIMS WILL SAY THEIR FINAL GOODBYES LATER THIS WEEK.

If you're driving down U-S 41 near Vanderbilt Beach road you can't miss this group of protestors. One thing that might catch your eye, these signs. Protestors say the Chipotle behind us needs to sign the fair food agreement.
Return to index of stories...
The paint is barely dry on these posters but the message is clear.
Sot Karen Dwyer-organizer
39:30
We want to let them know that it's time for Chipotle to sign on to fair food agreement to season our salsa with some justice. We want slave free tomatoes in our burritos.
Karen Dwyer is joining
The coalition of Immokalee Workers. pleading with
Chipotle Mexican Grill to come to the table and sign the fair food agreement.
But Today Chipotle released this statement saying quote, " We have not signed the "Fair Food Agreement" ourselves simply because we do not believe you need contracts to do the right thing."
But the coalition is insisting they sign the agreement to ensure farm workers are treated fairly and farms abide by the Farm workers code of conduct.
Return to index of stories...
Protestors tell me there are several restaurants and grocery chains that have signed the agreement. The whole foods store next to chipotle has signed. So has Trader Joes a block away and burger king right across the street. But chipotle reps say for now, they aren't signing.

THE OLYMPICS HAVE CHANGED WITH THE TIMES.
THIS YEAR.YOU'LL HAVE SO MANY MORE WAYS TO SEE THESE GAMES UP CLOSE--
FROM THE SMALL SCREEN OF YOUR COMPUTER--
TO THE BIG SCREEN IN YOUR LIVING ROOM.
BOB HANSEN REPORTS.
Return to index of stories...
THE BIGGER THESE OLYMPIC GAMES GET. THE SMALLER THE SCREENS WHERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO WATCH THEM.
THIS IS THE NBC OLYMPIC APP FOR THE APPLE IPAD. AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE GAMES AND THE ATHLETES IN THEIR WORDS.
"We're going to be very connected to these athletes."
THAT'S BECAUSE MORE AND MORE OLYMPIC ATHLETES ARE NOW SHARING THEIR EXPERIENCES ONLINE. FROM FACEBOOK TO TWITTER.
"I think it allows you to get to know these athletes. It's like the whole world is going to be watching them perform. But now the whole world can kind of see their story leading up to it."
SO BESIDES WATCHING ON TV. NBC IS WORKING WITH MAJOR SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES TO BRING THE DAILY NEWS, ACTION AND EVENTS TO COMPUTER SCREENS EVERYWHERE.
ANOTHER WAY TO DRIVE ENTHUSIASM FOR THE 26 SPORTING EVENTS. AND THE ATHLETES BEHIND THEM.
"You're going to see a lot of that where people are looking to get that insider access that they don't have from just the broadcast pieces."
IT USED TO BE YOU HAD TO WATCH ALL THE OLYMPICS ON ONE CHANNEL, NOW THERE'S MULTIPLE CABLE CHANNELS, AND NEARLY EVERY EVENT WILL BE ONLINE.
THAT IS DRIVING MORE PEOPLE INTO THE ELECTRONIC STORES TO FIND TV'S, LAPTOPS AND TABLETS TO ENJOY THE GAMES.
BUT THIS DRIVE FOR CONNECTION WILL DO MORE THAN THAT.
THE IDEA IS NOT ONLY TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF FANS KEEPING UP ON THEIR FAVORITE EVENTS. BUT ALSO TO CONNECT FANS ONTO A WORLDWIDE STAGE.
"You're not just looking at tv and watching these athletes, you're telling people how excited you are, who you want to root for, or who you are upset about. You really get to have a dialog and conversation."
Return to index of stories...
THAT WAS BOB HANSEN REPORTING.
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW SOCIAL MEDIA HAS BECOME SO POPULAR WITH SPORTS FANS.
DURING THE RECENT EURO SOCCER GAMES--
THERE WERE 15-THOUSAND TWEETS A SECOND DURING THE FINALS.
EXPERTS SAYS THE OLYMPICS WILL EASILY TOP THOSE NUMBERS.
AND THE GAMES START IN JUST *TWO* DAYS!
OPENING CEREMONIES ARE FRIDAY NIGHT.

FOUR LITTLE WORDS ARE DOMINATING THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.
TONIGHT NBC2 IS LOOKING INTO WHAT'S BEHIND THEM--
AND HOW THEY ARE CAUSING SO MUCH CONTROVERSY.
AND REMEMBER BIEB'S LITTLE "HIGH SPEED" INCIDENT?
THE POLICE WORK IS DONE--
AND CHARGES ARE FILED--
BUT AGAINST WHO?
Return to index of stories...
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
HOT AND DRY WEATHER AHEAD
We'll be leaving the rain chances behind for a few days now that some dry, stable air is starting to settle over Southwest Florida.
As our rain chances dip for the rest of the week and drier air moves into the area, our temperatures will be on the rise.
Thursday and Friday most of us warm to the middle 90s. Even though our upper atmosphere will be drying out, we'll still notice high humidity close to the surface, making those afternoons in the mid 90s feel like we're between 100-105 degrees.
With temperatures this high it's always possible for a rogue storm to develop during the heat of the day, but the chance of any one place getting hit by a storm will be close to 10% from now through the upcoming weekend.
Our overnights for the rest of the week will continue to be warm, muggy, and mostly clear with temperatures only cooling to the mid to upper 70s on most nights.
For the boaters and beach goers, this all stacks up to nice conditions for you!
After the weekend, enough moisture will build back into Southwest Florida to produce at least some isolated afternoon thunderstorms, so rain chances should start to bump up a little by Monday.
In the tropics, there are no threats to Southwest Florida, but a tropical wave in the north central Atlantic will have a small window of opportunity to become a named storm before it moves over cooler waters and weakens. Elsewhere, there's a strong tropical wave moving off the coast of Africa that's worth watching, but the environment upstream over the Eastern Atlantic looks a little too hostile for strengthening at this point.

ONE STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA--
IS THE NEWEST TALKING POINT IN THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.
"Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business. You didn't build that."
MITT ROMNEY CLAIMS THE PRESIDENT IS BLASTING SMALL BUSINESSES.
THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN SAYS THE WORDS WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.
NBC-2 CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT CHAD OLIVER IS HERE TO EXPLAIN HOW A LEE COUNTY BUSINESS IS NOW JOINING THE DEBATE.

THIS IS A CLASSIC POLITICAL POWER PLAY.
CAMPAIGNS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CERTAIN MOMENTS THEY CAN SPIN TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.
TODAY I LOOKED AT THE FULL CLIP OF WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID.

"If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

EARL QUENZEL RUNS A MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS BUSINESS. SO HE KNOWS THE POWER OF WORDS.
"People look at things through their own personal lenses.
QUENZEL LAUNCHED THIS WEBSITE TO COINCIDE WITH THE PRESIDENT'S VISIT TO FORT MYERS. "YES I DID BUILD IT DOT COM."
"In no way, is this site meant to be anti-President Obama. This site is merely meant to be Pro-business."
IT'S A FORUM FOR HIS CLIENTS. MANY WHO ARE SMALL BUSINESSES. TO SHARE SUCCESS STORIES.
THE PRESIDENT'S WORD CHOICE IS THE FOCUS OF THIS MITT ROMNEY AD.
"My father's hands didn't build this company? My hands didn't build this company?"
OBAMA RESPONDED THIS WEEK WITH THIS STATEMENT.
"Those ads taking my words about small business out of context, they're flat out wrong. Of course Americans build their own businesses."
THE PRESIDENT WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW GOVERNMENT CAN HELP BUSINESS. THE LINE *BEFORE HIS NOW INFAMOUS WORDS SAID THIS.
"Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business. You didn't build that."
HERE'S HOW HE SAID IT.
"Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business. You didn't build that."
THE PRESIDENT SAYS THAT LAST SENTENCE REFERRED TO ROADS AND BRIDGES - NOT BUSINESS.
"Whether that's actually what he meant or that's spin on it afterward, I have no idea."
Return to index of stories...
SO WHY IS THE PRESIDENT WAITING UNTIL NOW TO CLARIFY HIS WORDS?
AFTER ALL HE SAID THOSE WORDS IN VIRGINIA JULY 13TH.
LAST WEEK THE PRESIDENT'S TEAM SAID THEY PLANNED TO GO ON THE COUNTER-ATTACT AND CLARIFY DURING HIS TRIP TO FORT MYERS FRIDAY.
THAT OF COURSE DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE MOVIE THEATRE MASSACRE IN COLORADO.
