DENVER -

A detention hearing for a man who told his therapist he wanted to shoot children and kill President Barack Obama has been pushed back to Monday.
    
The hearing for Mitchell Kenneth Kusick of Westminster was originally scheduled for Friday. Now both a detention hearing and preliminary hearing for him will be held Monday in federal court in Denver.
    
Court records say Kusick made comments about wanting to kill people to his therapist Oct. 29.

The therapist called police and told his family to take him to a hospital, where Kusick was placed on a mental health hold. He is now in federal custody on suspicion of threats against a president.
