Wow!

 

[CARIIS]

I wonder if this guy was infatuated with James Holmes?

BBM
Wow!

and, that IMO explains why he went back in theatre a killed himself - fleeing LE

I know nothing about the film - but it hit me as odd that a romantic comedy , would have gunshots in it (IE the theme that some thought the shots were apart of the film!?

OH god, CNN talking about metal detectors in theatres


sad state of affairs

58 year old white man.

WTF? That is such a strange age for something like this, isn't it? Not to say that older men aren't capable of crimes. Just seems so weird!!!

Some of y'all follow true crime much more than I do...and have for much longer. Does the age of this killer surprise you too??

It does! Usually they are younger- late teens & twenties.

Criminal history but it's old, nothing recent.

what are you finding? What type of crime?

 

[Leilei]

Per LA Police Chief on CNN: They believe that the shooter was at the theater by himself.

That's really scary, if the domestic dispute thing is true. Where is his wife? Where are his children, if any?

I hope this isn't worse than it already is.

 

[Montjoy]

Police have not confirmed what was inside the packages.

Sniffer dogs are still dogs -- maybe the packages had boudin?

Paraphrased from livefeed:

Dogs have three hits near the car, so they're going to conduct a controlled blast, within the next hour, to be cautious as they open trunk and gather evidence from the "suspicious" car parked in the condo parking lot. (12:23 am)


Paraphased from brief PC

58 yrs old, shooter. Chief Craft: He does have a criminal history, it is pretty old, they want to make sure it is indeed his identity. One victim has been released. One victim in surgery, not doing well, and one critical among the the injured. They are going to take their time to open the trunk. He appeared to be by himself. Late teens and probably to 60's. Next PC when conference is when the scene is cleared. 7 ppl hospitalized. Victims' bodies still in the theater. LE was had 100 people at the theater when they arrived, to interview.

Reporters:

Do not take Rt by theater on your way to work. Gov. Jindal Asking public for time and space for investigation. Discouraging SM speculation. Still confirming ID of shooter. LE says there may be something suspicious in the trunk so they will take their time to investigate. LE asking for patience as they gather facts. Avoid Johnston Street and theater area.

Story of the heroic teachers. Witnesses share stories.
