While we're all a bit relieved that we did not find Relisha here the way we anticipated we would find her, it's heart-wrenchingly frustrating that we don't have answers as to where she is right now.

With regard to the investigation... I can tell you we know a little bit more about our subject. We know he recently left the University of Colorado Medical School Neuroscience Program. It was a voluntary separation. We know he hails originally from Riverside, California and attended UC California Riverside Campus. Neighbors report to us that he lived alone and he kept to himself.

We evacuated five apartment buildings, including Die Apartment-Building of the subject. Those evacuees have been staying at Central High School, again with the support of Aurora Public Schools. With regard to the Paris location, it is a very vexing problem how to enter that apartment safely. I personally have never seen anything like what the pictures show us is in there.

I'm a layman when it comes to... Baumstaff. I see an awful lot of wires, trip wires, jars full of ammunition, jars full of liquid, some things that look like mortar rounds. We have a lot of challenges to get in there safely. We decided this evening to postpone action on that until tomorrow sometime. All our folks were pretty well taxed and we needed a break.

And we also, with the help of the federal government, were bringing in some extra resources to consult Exactly how to deal with that problem.
