Video: Detectives investigate shooting; motive unclear



>> and now to the latest on the investigation into the suspect, james holmes . while a motive for the shooting isn't yet clear a fuller picture is emerging of a detailed plan of attack that was months in the making.

>> reporter: good evening, kate. one of the investigators who came out of the formerly booby trapped apartment say it was a sophisticated plan, a plan long on details and short on mistakes and ultimate the goal was maximum may hem. when the investigation of james holmes began early saturday morning it became clear how complicated the task might be. when bomb technicians used a controlled explosion to disable the trip wires and other triggers in his apartment police knew they were dealing with what they called an intricate scenario. they found 30 softball sized explosive devices. they also found items related to paint ball battles, a poster of a warrior in battle gear and reportedly one computer. police say holmes purchased four weapons like these at local sporting goods stores but much of the ammo was allegedly purchased online and shipped to his apartment.

>> we think this begins to explain how he got his hands on the magazines and ammunition.

>> reporter: a spokesman at the university of colorado confirmed that the school is cooperating with the police probe of any shipments to a campus address used by holmes . one online supplier cat 5 shipped $306 on july 2nd . and the manager was shaken by reports of how the gear was allegedly used.

>> we were all shocked and appalled.

>> reporter: holmes didn't get everything he wanted. he applied online to join a local gun range but the manager told nbc news the suspect's answering machine message made him supicious.

>> i told the staff nothing happens until i meet him.

>> reporter: police chief dan oates said the evidence is overwhelming.

>> the most important way is that we put this evidence together.

>> do you think you have a strong case against mr. holmes ?

>> we will convict him.

>> reporter: holmes remains in the arapahoe county jail segregated. no visitors received. still not talking to the police. he has his first court appear appearance tomorrow.
