This is a tragic event. Let's not derail the thread with a gun control debate. Posts from page 9 onward will be moderated for steering the discussion towards gun control.

That is not the James Holmes that was arrested. The pictured man's name is James Holmes and lives in Aurora, but is about 5-6 years older than the person arrested.


random speculation without 100% proof about one's identity is really dangerous ...


Exactly. I bet some douchebags are already calling and sending him messages just because he has the same name as the shooter & lives in the same area.

Yes I agree and I feel bad I posted that pic now T_T It seems though twitter knows who he is now since they are all re-twetting the same pic

Also, one witness on CBS4 saying he opened the door outwards, towards himself.


This is almost universally how emergency exit doors work.

Early reports were that he kicked the door in, but not even Bane could do that as you would have to kick the frame in with the door

Very likely it's what happened, but I know from experience that not all theaters are responsible about fire code. One theater I grew up near had fire doors that were notoriously easy to open even when locked.


Its not necessarily a door with an alarm. I know the theater in my home town about 60 miles north of Denver had "emergency exit" doors that pretty much everyone used to just get to the parking lot faster.



Emergency exit doors can often have silent or delayed alarms. It is entirely possible that they were deactivated or unlocked in the process, as many have a small allen key turn to deactivate the alarm or deprress the panic bar [thus unlocking the door]

Sent a message to that tumblr owner that his picture is probably wrong. Hope he takes it down and just leaves this type of stuff to the authorities.

"A San Diego woman who identified herself as James Holmes' mother told ABC News she had awoken unaware of the shooting and had not yet been contacted by authorities. She immediately expressed concern that her son may have been involved.

"You have the right person," she said, apparently speaking on gut instinct. "I need to call the police... I need to fly out to Colorado.""

The mother instantly knew they had the right guy?.. Wow.

A few of the people had shrapnel-related injuries, so it could be that.

Just a wound maybe? Bullet touched the shirt and skin, but that was it.

Its probably a shrapnel wound, or he could of moved out of the way when hit and it grazed, not sure. But can't argue with holes and blood when a gun was being fired.

Looks like it went through his skin at an angle. Lucky escape tbh.

Could be she knew her son was dangerous and had the mind set or even possibly the means to do this. She should defiantly be investigatory and if it can be proven that she knew he was a risk and did nothing, prosecuted.

I've spent the last 10 minutes just looking at the twitter of this one girl who was killed last night. It just makes it all so real. Feels like standing in the room of someone the day after they died and looking at all their things around you. She'll never update that site again. I can't stop reading her last tweet.

"@jessespector MOVIE DOESN'T START FOR 20 MINUTES"

I think I've watched too much of this coverage at this point, but I can't stop.


wow... This girl was at another shooting a month earlier...

In the Eaton Center. Cops everywhere. Ambulance everywhere. Being told someone started shooting in the food court.

I have no idea what to say to you...

Paying for this movie doesnt not, IN ANY WAY support murder. Are you trying to suggest that the developers of the movie paid this guy to shoot everyone? I'm honestly dumbfounded by the ignorance in your post...

Never think that way. Innocent until proven guilty counts for everyone.

Here in Germany twitter and Facebook knew the identity of a murderer of a little girl, too. I mean EVERYONE was posting it so it got to be right. It was a 17 year old boy. So a mob of ~50 people gathered in front of the police station where he was held captive and chanted that they want to kill him and that he deserves castration and what not. Only problem was that he was innocent and is now probably seriously traumatized by that experience.
