I knew she had been shot. I meant, encountered him outside. The way the account was relayed it sounded like the girls were locked out with the shooter.

I bring this up because the initial survivor's statements mentioned the individual taking the phone call returning to his or her seat and not leaving the theatre. They also didn't identify that person as the shooter.
Something that has puzzled me for days now... so tear gas was thrown at the crowd, correct?
Why have we not heard reports of temporary blindness, burning eyes and skin, why were the people who gave interviews right away not suffering from anything like that? It sticks to your clothing as well.
Was it something else rather than tear gas perhaps?
definitely not tear gas.
they sell "smoke grenades" for paintball games,
JH had a poster on his wall about paintball combat.

did they actually mention his returning to a seat,
or just skip to noticing someone entering the door later?
the reports i read seemed as though the phone call &
exit were made during the opening credits, if the
movie had begun i doubt anyone was paying attention
to anything but the movie. except whoever he was
sitting next to, they could be cooperating with police
only & not speaking to media, or they could be deceased.
Will be interesting to see more about this--I'm seeing mixed reports. Here's one that says it was tear gas...

"Akron native Carli Richards and Chris Townson were two of the first shooting victims to escape out of the theater after the shooting started in Aurora, Colorado last week. Richards was hit by 22 shotgun pellets and Townson had one pellet graze his chest.
Richards has chronicled her ordeal on her blog, www.carlirotten.net, and also on Facebook. Contacted by email, Richards said she is still recovering from her wounds.
The instinct [to] keep running overpowered any other thought in my mind, she wrote.
As she fled the theater, Richards said, she realized many around her were not moving.
If my partner and I had not taken responsibility for ourselves at some point in our lives and joined the U.S. Navy, we would not have immediately recognized the smell of tear gas, she wrote."
if we are correct that the smoke/gas was not an irritant
then there is the question of why JH wore a gas mask.
was it a fashion statement or were there plans that didn't
exactly pan out which would have required a mask?
planning to be teargassed by police, disguising himself as SWAT, etc.
one had already been shot in the face, so yes they encountered him.
sounds like they escaped theater 9 through the rear exit
as JH was busy shooting & were hiding outside near theater 8 exit.
Eric Hunter let them inside theater 8 as JH was approaching.
makes sense if you look at aerial photos.
Why wouldn't JH have just shout though the door if he was being blocked out? Or would it still have been impossible to open from the outside?

great question!
it would have been impossible to open from outside,
but i believe the reason he never shot at the door is the
very reason he wore all the bulletproof equipment,
he didn't want to get hurt. even in all the chaos
he has presence of mind that if he shot at a steel door
there was a chance he'd be hit by a ricochet.
note to mention this in the 'psyche thread' when it's reopened.
