An Oregon man will be arraigned Thursday on charges he harassed families of the victims of the mass shooting in Aurora, Colo.

Kevin Purfield of Portland is accused of emailing, calling and using social media to contact the victims' relatives.

Aurora police say Purfield told family members that the shootings didn't really happen, or that the caskets of their relatives were empty.
