Police Looking for Second “Person of Interest” in Theater Shooting
KDVR Fox 31 Denver ^ | Saturday, July 22, 2012 | Justin Joseph

Posted on 07/21/2012 10:54:09 PM PDT by kristinn

Sources tell FOX31 Denver reporter Justin Joseph that a second man is now a person-of-interest in the Aurora theater shooting investigation. We are not disclosing his identity because he has not been charged.

Twelve people were killed and 58 injured early Friday when James Egan Holmes allegedly opened fire inside the crowded theater.

Neighbors of the person of interest say for the past two days there have been SWAT team and police cars in their alley and unmarked cars in street.

“He’s been there about a year,” said one neighbor.

Agents showed up again this morning.

“I woke up this morning with cops still here trying to look inside his home. At 5:00 a.m. cops showed-up and asked me about (him).”

Sources tell Justin Joseph someone made a call from the person of interest’s phone threatening violence if James Egan Holmes was not released from jail. That call prompted police to issue an alert to find and detain him.

I don’t think there are any limits on ammo purchases that he would have run afoul of.

I would have no trouble buying that much ammo. I probably have that much ammo now, if you count it all up.

A 1,000 round case is a commonly purchased amount of .223 or 5.56 ammo. Or even .40 S&W.

For all we know so far, his body armor might have been cheap junk.

LEO’s absolutely mentioned a second person being detained and a search underway for another.

I am a bit skeptical of Aurora police officers. Though I do believe without a doubt they have the sick SOB killer. He stood there after.

40 innocent citizens cuffed. The ends justify the means cops? Nope, I don't trust them much.

What I want to know is where did the kid get tear gas? Explosives? Body Armor? You can't mail order this stuff. I know by looking at bullet proof vests for the hell of it a couple months ago.

Are you thinking a domestic "Fast and Furious" sting gone awry again?

If he was it was VERY recent or illegally.

As a grad student you have an opportunity to work for the university in the research program for the programs that you’re studying,” university spokeswoman Jacque Montgomery said. “He worked in the neurosciences program. It is a paid position.”

After high school, Holmes received a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience from the University of California, Riverside, but could not find a job after returning to San Diego several years ago. For a year or so, he worked part-time at a McDonald’s, according to Tom Mai, who lives near the Holmes family in San DiegoRiverside in 2010 with a
bachelor’s degree in neuroscience,

That interests me. I know there are exits out of these theaters, not through the theater itself, but just outside of a group of entrances, that bypass lobbies, usually opening into parking lots. But, shouldn’t the emergency exit alarm when it is opened?

If he had an inside accomplish who got his call on cell phone, it opens up an incredible amount of creepy possibilities.

Tear gas and body armor, yep, it can be purchased online. Explosives he created himself, the information is online or maybe The Anarchist Cookbook-

There is another FR post indicating huge quantities of ammo bought and around $15,000 spent. Look for it.

Also a week before the UN vote on the small arms treaty! Something is really wrong here.

I thought of that right away.

If it was the audio Daily Mail made available, it was “scoped”, with the parts between transmissions removed. Nevertheless, all the responding agencies did an excellent job.

The Blackhawk vest is just a gear holder, with no ballistic properties.

Was thinking same. Yes; the ‘missing piece’ or pieces. Remember the missing/mystery. . . ‘Middle Easterner’ turned up; years later in Massachusetts? Or some such. . .

Well, they may easily have gotten the call, from some 'nutcase' who wants only wants to cast his 'hilarious' shadow; somewhere tween the newsbytes; but this does not mean; that THE person of interest, made the call. Which; is simply; unlikely.

(Easy to assume 'overlay' or connection; but need not be. . .again; 'crank calls' expected, from those mentally; 'at large'. Pathetic; there are so many. . .)
