Editor’s note: The Denver Post respects the wishes of Aurora theater shooting victims and their families that the assailant’s name not be repeated in news stories. In this article, his name is only mentioned in direct quotes by the author.
Ten years ago, Dr. Lynne Fenton felt villainized after she was identified as the psychiatrist who treated the Aurora theater shooter in the months leading up to his massacre during the midnight premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises.”
Now, Fenton is telling her story in “Aurora,” a book published July 19 by Berkley Books. She hopes it will help educate other psychiatrists and the public about the minds of mass shooters and what possibly can be done to prevent them.
