Confirmed, James Holmes was a former medical student at the University Of Colorado. Also reported he was a biology major in California. Did John Holmes snap, have a psychosis meltdown to cause this horrific tragedy? He was training to save lives not kill them.
Police are now at scene of his apartment but cannot enter due to it being booby-trapped with explosives.

“Dark Knight Rises,” kills 12-16 people at midnight opening showing in Aurora, Colorado, 9 miles east of Denver. A gunman dressed in a SWAT uniform or costume, bullet proof vest, gas mask with 4 guns found & now recovered. Assault weapon, rifle and 2 handgun sprays tear gas or a flash bomb and bullets to a packed house with movie patrons where 50 more people were injured, over a dozen confirmed dead.
The gunman entered though the side exit. He could have been in the movie theater before so he could have returned to do his deadly terrorist plan. Anyone who attends movies know of the exit doors. He has said to thrown two gas canisters in crowd upon entry before shooting. He remained calm thoughout his horrendous act witness described.
The gunman is to have said walked at the corner of the screen after the previews, threw canisters shot-gun(s) and then walked into the lobby where people were huddled, running out the building to save their life.
Movie theaters will now have to identify their procedures for entry and exits due to this horrific crime. Did he act alone? This has not yet been verified. Will the movie opening suffer as a copy cat person might perform the same mass murder theater.
