Massive shooting in Colorado. Perp possibly used an AR
Lorimor:
I imagine that there were few, if any, permit holders in the crowd that night. A midnight showing of Batman, on a weeknight? Most of us have sense enough to home in bed, sleeping 'cause we have responsibilities.
It would be utter chaos in the theater to be sure. Getting off a clear shot would have been difficult to say the least. And the punk was heavily armored. Tough, tough situation.
Dan W:
An eyewitness report says that the shooter may have had some inside help...

Policista:
I've heard at least one dozen interviews with those who stated that "he was three feet away" or "he was standing right next to me"
as he was firing into the crowd. If they were that close, I cannot understand why one of them did not attempt to physically engage the
shooter? If I had no concealled firearm available to return fire, my immenent death was a possiblity and an active shooter was that close,
I'd rather go down in a physical fight with the bastard than wait for him to kill me.

I know that no one can predict how they'll react in a situation like that, but it seems like many people are just willing to lay down and die rather than fight back. It's almost like the self preservation instinct has been bred out of us.

I wonder if that was the shooter himself. From what I read, he paid for a ticket, went in, then exited to get his gear, and reentered. I've been away from news reports today, though, so that might be old info.
