A national radio show, the Schnitt show, had a guy on for twenty minutes that was in theater #9 from the start.
That and other reports make clear that the shooter walked up the aisle shooting people heading for the exits but at one point must have had a 1/4 of the front theater behind his back.
Anybody armed behind him might have been able to just soot him in the back of the head - he did have body armor.
Oops - nevermind - Schnitt is saying per the lead investigator, officer “Oats”? the guy was decked out in body armor head to toe ... helmet, neck, torso and leg armor! Usually that’s frontal protection?
Some lessons come hard to communities that seek to control their surroundings and protect them from danger.
Colorado has sure had its fair share of getting kicked in the gut and then some the past decade or two.
Looking back, they seem to have invited danger instead of learning how to deal with it.
Oops. Instead of “sooting” him in the back of the head I actually recommend “shooting” him in the back of the head. Sorry if anyone was confused. ;-)
