(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.
And sources say over the past several months, Holmes spent about $15,000 as he was putting together his deadly arsenal -- guns, chemicals, explosives, and ammunition.
"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."
Holmes did most his shopping on Internet sites. And he was clearly in a hurry.
A receipt from TacticalGear.com shows on July 2 -- two-and-a-half weeks before the shootings -- Holmes purchased a bulletproof vest and other equipment. He paid extra to have it shipped by 2nd-day air.

Apparently, according to this “journalist”, some of the rounds he bought were incorporated into the booby traps.
Cash and carry. Brick and Mortar or the 'net.
Some 'net ammo sites do want photocopy ID and a signed statement, but that isn't CO requirement.

You can COUNT on it!!!! Just NOT for the ‘little people’. Just for them. Just like health care.
thanks
I don’t use any optics, and consistently keep 6 inch groups at 200 yards. For that, I gotta blame myself.
The rounds are all new, and I would put them up against Lake City ammo.
It’s possible he took out student loans, but spent the money on this stuff instead, since was dropping out of school.
Credit cards probably played a part. Get multiple cards, buy as much stuff last minute and who cares about paying it off. This is assuming he acted alone. I have to think he had some outside help if he really spent 15K.
Smith and Wesson AR-15 . . . . $925
Glock 23 x2 ($525 each) . . . $1,050
Remington 870 tactical shotgun . . . $600
3,000 rounds 5.56mm ammo ($500x3) . . . 1,500
3,000 rounds .40 S&W (60 50-round boxes at $20) . . . 1,200
300 rounds 12 gauge buckshot (60 5-round boxes at $6) . . . $360
Tactical clothing (wild ass guess) . . . $1,000
Total (not counting bomb making) . . . . $6,635
So, not counting shipping, I’m figuring about $7,000 for guns and ammo and a little bit for tacticool clothing.

He must have had good credit for a student. I have two credit cards and dont even have close to a limit of 15 grand
NO
How dare you interject logical thinking into this thread of tinfoil wearing conclusion jumpers...
It’s a possibility, however to spend 15K is such a short time frame I bet some outside resources were used in addition to any credit cards.
I will get a few boxes on my next order. I also prefer iron sights too, thou everybody around me at the range use all sorts of optics. I feel like the only oddball not using them.
The prosecutors will need it, and it can help to show premeditation.
Yea, even Obama said so.
