>> 6,295 rounds of ammunition purchased by james holmes in the lead up to the shooting. that is according to a atf supervisor. add that to the tear gas, ballistic gear and handcuffs he had. on cross-examination his defense attorney asked him is there any process in colorado to vaccine out whether mentally ill person is purchasing these items and the answer was no. a bomb tech showed photos of my of his booby-trapped apartment and they found a trip wire set over a frying pan full of an ignitor. his carpet was covered with ammonium chloride powder and that with gasoline and oil. three jars connected with quick fuses. they were filled with gun powder and bullets. the listed goes on and on. too long to list here. >> shep: there was another call that i'm told prosecutors played today? >> they did. this one by 13-year-old girl. kaylin bailey. according to our producers, she could be heard screaming to the dispatcher, i'm in 9, i'm in 9 referring to the theater number where prosecutors say james holmes unloaded his weapons. bailey went to the movies with ashley and 6-year-old. on the call dispatcher attempts to instruct bailey on how to help her young cousin but it was so loud inside the theater that she screamed, i can't hear you, i can't hear you. in the background, there was screaming and cries. just before the judge broke for lunch, a police detective got on the stand and talked about the date go website that james holmes was on and on his profile will you visit me in prison. >> shep: thank you. now to the ongoing cabinet shakeup at the president's pick to be the next treasury-secretary is, quote, all but a done deal. white house sources is telling current chief of staff jack lu to top the treasury. they are saying that the president's impressed by his knowledge of the federal budget and no-nonsense style. tim ignite her has said he will not stick around for a second term. the united states had s just about a month away from hitting the so-called debt ceiling the point where the government can't pay bills. the next treasury-secretary is key to make sure that doesn't happened but lew's intelligence on is raising red flags. during the last debt ceiling battle, lew clashed with the g.o.p. now he'll face some of those same lawmakers could be a very tough confirmation battle. what did the white house press second say about this. >> jack lew is the chief of staffed has served in a critical role for on this administration as director of the office of management and budget. a well known figure both here at the white house and throughout washington for the past four years. for more, here is jay carney. >> i would simply say that the president is obviously engaged in a process that will lead to decisions on who should fill posted or vacant. as was in the case this week with the defense department and c.i.a. and prior to that the state department, he will make announcements when he has made a decision. >> that would be press secretary 101, do not get out ahead of the president of the united states but all sources say jack lew will be named treasury-secretary. >> shep: what are they saying about the past clashes with lew and process in general? >> i talked to jeff sessions moments ago. he said that he is troubled by the jack lew selection because he feels like lew has been too close to the political people inside the white house. he has not been independent from politics. so he predicts it will be a tough confirmation process. another senator sounds more open-minded. >> i wasn't up here during that debate, he wasn't arrogant to me. i'll keep an open mind. with any treasury-secretary nominee my view is going to be looking to the substance. this is not a popularity contest. this is about fixing the problems that are affecting millions of americans. >> reporter: others said he has been difficult to deal with and not independent enough. bottom line we are waiting for the president to make a call and jack lew will have a chance to make a case for why he should be the next treasury secretary. >> what would that potential documents mean for the budget fight. it's another day, another fight? >> it will be noisier because you are going to have newly appointed for treasury-secretary before you sit down at the table here. not the ideal way to do it. but we did now that geithner was not be for the job. >> shep: what is the problem? >> it's one of tone or attitude. it doesn't seem if he is advocating a position you were going to hear anyway. potentially, perhaps there were things right around the table that rubbed people the wrong way. by the way, the white house has continued to say all along the debt ceiling per se is not up for negotiation. they won't negotiate as to get raised and both sides have to come to spending and revenue discussion about the ten-year plan, let's say, for spending intentions. the debt ceiling message is the same, congress must allow the administration to pay the bills that congress be mandated be paid. >> shep: they spent money, the congress, and now what this is all about, do we actually pay for just what we just bought. you actually get to do that? >> you should not be able to. it's understandable why this happens. this is an instrument of influence by the congress when you don't have somebody in the white house. realistically speaking it's the mix of things getting debated and it raises the stakes. next phase is how much revenue we're going to get, it's about are we covering the bills the next seven months. >> shep: were you surprised by jack lew? >> it seemed to be pretty well telegraphed. loyalty is put at a premium. as all the reports say the president seems to trust she good advocate. just because it's been kind of put out there for a while. >> shep: where before they were a team that had gone at each other and now he is bringing a team of loyalists? >> it appears so. maybe not defense as much of a loyalist or insider, but i do think that is probably accurate right now when it comes to treasury. >> shep: mike santoli, thanks. a fire aboard a plane and today another one started spilling fuel right on the tarmac. we'll take a look at approximate with the new jets and remember when we spent $180 billion to bail out aig. the shareholders have found a way to thank us for saving their business -- they are suing us.

>> finding cyanide isn't difficult if you look for it. unfortunately our toxicology lab is capable of detecting a a wider array of toxins, when it showed up in the blood it was a bit of a surprise. we can look at additional tissues and get more information. >> shep: how did it happen that -- how the process goes? >> initially the 46-year-old gentleman died on july 20th. the reports that officers received this man was found unresponsive at home. he was brought to the emergency room and pronounced dead and that was the extent of our information. based on that and in accordance with protocol, medical examiner examined the body for injuries and drew fluids and then released the case and signed it as cardiovascular disease which covers many natural causes of death, heart attack and strokes. basic toxicology was negative. several days later they contacted a doctor and asked us to dig deeper. we're very responsive to new information. so comprehensive toxicology was ordered, even to the point of ordering something like cyanide. in this case, it paid off. >> shep: so either the guy celebrated his lottery winnings by downing cyanide or somebody murdered him, maybe somebody had access to the money once she six feet under?
