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.

Lets be careful here. We would not want to be like Brian Ross or Spike Lee.

Has anyone heard anything more about the alleged 2 roommates that Holmes had (or has)?

Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if this “person of interest” may have set up the explosives in the apartment.

So the person of interest call the cop shop on his own telephone threatening violence if James Egan Holmes was not released from jail?

LOL...

Bet the rent this is just another attention seeking nutjob...

As if their going to release him....yuk yuk

>>We also had news recently that Holmes spent around 15K to prepare. I wonder if this person of interest had more to do than just opening the emergency exit?

North Korea getting fancy?

Just FWIW: It’s possible to spoof cell phones, sending someone else’s information to 911. Backtracking the call will determine whether it was really made from his phone, but at an early stage just the fact that his number was recorded doesn’t mean a whole lot.

He parked in back, bought a ticket, and walked in. HE exited the back exit, propped open the door, walked a few feet to his car, got the weapons and walked back in and started shooting.
Second shooter stories came from people in the second theater being shot through the walls. Initial reports were that people were being shot in two theaters because of this.
He exits out the back door to get into his car and escape. Shucking the helmet and gear, rifle had a stoppage. (100 round mags aren’t as dependable as the good old 20 or 30)

He was surprised by that one minute response time and by the fact that some cops totally had the drop on him. He had taken several vicoden and was half stoned. Got the turd.

It really isnt that complicated.

This sounds like when the militant nut jobs from Pakistan or Afghanistan want political prisoners released or they threaten to kill people or cause violence. Has anyone heard anything from Bill Ayers recently>

Well, he had a research grant from the NIH. He could have used that money. He was reportedly withdrawing funds from the grant.

Only saw the movie once, but did not the original Joker break out of jail ? You know that he at least had some type of plan.

He also made have used a backup. Call someone in the theater and ask if the coast is clear. Then when they say yes, tell them you are going for the door, if it wont open, you will have to open it. That could be the plan of a diabolical genius like the Joker, but script writing is not my forte.

Ouch.

Backup up bio-terrorist attack if the Joker is not released ?

Someone call Hollyweird.

North Korea just announced they are reassessing their nuclear position. Best speculation is that they will not announce unilateral disarmament /sarc

A father of a girl in the front row, or near the front row, told the media Friday morning she said someone opened the door for him to get in.

Beginning to sound more and more like a couple lefties, but you won’t hear that on the msm.

According to Brian Ross that is irrefutable evidence of his sinister ties to the Tea Party.
