AURORA, Colo. - People who knew James Holmes, the accused gunman in Friday’s Colorado movie theater shooting, are talking about him.

Pastor Jerry Borgie says the Holmes family is your typical all-American family.  He says James, who was a counselor at a Los Angeles summer camp in 2008, had goals and a plan for his life.

“He was a little bit on the quite side,” says Borgie.  “In one on one conversation, it was obvious he was an intelligent young man.”

A San Diego police officer is still keeping watch outside the Holmes house.
