Investigators track Colo. shooting suspect's ammo shipments

(CBS News) Sources say investigators have found key evidence in dumpsters and trash bins outside of James Holmes' apartment, including a shipping label from an internet ammunition store called BulkAmmo.com.

Investigators also tell CBS News they have recovered a surveillance video of James Holmes picking up approximately 150 pounds of ammunition at a Federal Express outlet in Colorado.

They've interviewed a UPS driver who says Holmes had 90 packages delivered to his workplace on the University of Colorado medical campus.

"Through the Internet he purchased over 6,000 rounds of ammunition, more than 3,000 rounds of. 223 ammunition for the assault rifle, 3,000 rounds of .40 caliber ammunition for the two Glocks in his possession and 300 rounds for the 12 gauge shotgun."

3. Your sig would seem to imply you consider a hospital a good hunting ground.

Only the law abiding honor the "no guns" signs/restrictions.

Frankly, here is some advice: avoid hospitals in the future. Look pal, you probably would just get shot if you went anyway. Your awesome "Google-fu skillz" have proved that beyond a doubt. Just stay home in the bunker with your gun pointed at the door in case someone tries to invade. As for the rest of us? We really don't need one more paranoid with a gun walking around the hospital.

6. There are a lot of places I go. You asked about hospitals, I answered, now you come back

with a snarky response.

For your information, I do NOT break the law when I go visit someone at a hospital. I do NOT break the law when I go a government facility (DMV for example). See, I'm just at risk as anyone else. I obey the law. Maybe a nice no guns sign on the outside of the emergency exit would have stopped the shooter in Aurora. Nah, he broke the law anyway.

I do NOT visit restaurants and other privately owned establishments that ban guns. That is my prerogative. The business I walk past has no idea they just lost money.

Yes, but you obviously harbor a lot more insecurities about that than most. Best you should stay away.
