Geez. If only the mail had been opened sooner.

Sources are reporting that James Holmes, the man who allegedly massacred a Dark Knight Rises audience, had sent a notebook “full of details about how he was going to kill people” to a University of Colorado psychiatrist just DAYS before the attack.

Authorities were called to the campus on Monday morning after a professor reported receiving a package from Holmes, but it turned out to be from someone else. However, another sweep of the mailroom led to the discovery of a package that WAS from the accused murderer.

Upon opening it, cops found what a source described by saying:

There is finally some good news for one survivor of the shooting rampage at last week's The Dark Knight Rises midnight screening.

Pregnant victim Katie Medley, who escaped the shooting without injury, has just given birth to a healthy baby boy!

Katie's husband Caleb was also in the theater that night, and unfortunately was not so lucky. He suffered a gunshot wound to the head and is in a medically induced coma.

Katie's brother-in-law Seth believes his brother will wake up soon and reunite the family. He says:

"We know that Caleb will get better, and he won't stay out of that child's life."

We want to say that the Medley family (pictured below) will be in our thoughts, and we hope you will be whole again soon.

Congratulations to Katie, and welcome to the world, Hugo Jackson Medley.

As James Holmes continues to act cray cray in custody by spitting on every guard he comes in contact with, he is taking on another characteristic of a character in the Dark Knight trilogy — a face mask!

The accused murderer has reportedly been muzzled with a face guard to prevent anymore saliva from spraying on other people.

As we've talked about before, there is a debate between the public and psychological experts alike as to whether or not Holmes is actually insane.

Some who have seen his behavior jump right to the conclusion that he MUST be crazy, while others point out that he fits the profile for an individual suffering from a mental illness like schizophrenia.

Crazy or not, the man accused of massacring a Dark Knight Rises audience loved hangin' with hookers.

Sources have revealed that James Holmes frequented a sex website to review the prostitutes he spent time with before murdering 12 innocent people. Of the three girls he reviewed his sexual escapades with, only one remembers (or at least can admit remembering).

The first working girl asked to comment said she slept with so many men that she couldn't specifically remember Holmes. The second said although he "looked very familiar," she couldn't confirm if he was actually a client.

Third time's the charm though because a woman named Tiffany admitted to sleeping with him twice and said:

Considering the dreadful circumstances, we think that Warner Bros. is handling the Colorado shooting, that took place during a Dark Knight Rises screening, exceptionally well.

The studio would have been otherwise ecstatic about the film's phenomenal box office performance, but decided not to announce any figures until after the initial shock of last Friday's tragedy.

On top of that small courtesy, the company is donating a "substantial" amount of money to charities supporting the victims and their families. CEO Barry Meyer has reportedly reached out to every employee to inform them of the donation, as well as providing instructions for how they can personally donate to those affected by the violence.

Very respectable move! And the studio isn't alone either. Various theaters screening the movie, like

Talk about poor timing!

Just days before the tragic Colorado shooting during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises, Lil' Wayne released a music video for My Homies Still (above) which features skeletons inside a movie theater!

Obvi, it's just an unfortunate coincidence, but commenter's on YouTube's VEVO channel did not waste any time to point it out. In fact, the video has since garnered 16,566 dislikes, compared to the 35,625 likes.

So either fans were upset by what they perceived as an insensitivity to the shooting that just rocked the nation or, more simply, weren't big fans of the song. Judging by

Talk about heart-breaking!

As we discussed Friday, Jessica Redfield was one of the first identified in the twelve murdered during the disturbing Colorado shooting spree.

Ever since the news hit, professional hockey-playing boyfriend Jay Meloff has been letting the world know just how wonderful she was. Getting #RIPJessica to trend on Twitter, Jay says:
