DENVER — The University of Colorado – Denver has hired a former U.S. attorney to conduct an internal review of employees actions related to the Aurora theater shooting suspect.

James Holmes was a student on the Anschutz Medical Campus, but dropped out just before the shooting spree that killed 12 people and injured another 58 at the Century 16 Movie Theaters near I-225 and Alameda.

Robert Miller, a former U.S. attorney for Colorado is conducting an internal review to make sure the University’s systems functioned as they should have.

There are reports that a psychiatrist at the school who treated Holmes alerted a threat team about concerns she had about Holmes, but then he dropped out of the school.
