The Aurora movie theaters shooter James Holmes suffered an attempt on his life in prison. The man who tried to kill him received letters praising him for his act, and apologized for being unsuccessful.
“First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest condolences to all the victims and to the families,” wrote Mark Daniels, according to the Denver Westword. “I’m so sorry I couldn’t wipe him out and sent [sic] him packing to Satan’s lake of fire.”
Daniels is a convicted car thief.
“It was just impossible to do by myself with so many cops. I did get him six or seven good ones… He was very scared,” Daniels wrote.
We had not allowed Holmes at that time to come into daily contact with other offenders.
