I believe the patron who didn't hear the shot was in another theater. There are 16 in this complex, and each is designed to keep sound from being heard next door.
Even if she had heard the shot in the next door theater house, she would have assumed it was part of the movie being shown.
Thanks, that makes total sense.
You’re welcome. We really ought to keep in mind this is very early in this case and a lot of speculation and bad info gets passed around.
For very nearly the ultimate example, remember all the really inaccurate info released in the Zimmerman/Martin case. Though this one isn’t nearly as political. Fewer people care if one white guy shoots another. Almost as few as when one black guy shoots another black guy.
