Parents of Colorado theater shooter pray for victims daily - Milton Daily Standard

DENVER (AP) — The mother of Colorado theater shooting defendant James Holmes writes in a new book that she prays for the victims daily, "by name and by wound."

Bob and Arlene Holmes told the Del Mar Times (http://bit.ly/1IKADqV ) about the book she wrote in their first interview since the 2012 shooting that left 12 dead and 70 others injured. In the forward of "When The Focus Shifts: The Prayer Book of Arlene Holmes 2013 -2014," she writes that proceeds will be donated to mental health services, not to her son or his case.
