As the shocking story of what is the deadliest mass shooting in Colorado since Columbine continues to unfold, the audio from early police communications after the shooting in an Aurora theater’s midnight screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” has been released.
Listen to the communication:
The female on the line says that at the time at least “one person had been shot, but they‘re saying there’s at least hundreds of people just running around.” A male on the radio confirms that all available cars would be sent to the area. A female then comes on the line repeating the shooting, location and address for all available officers.
Fox News Insider posted more of the communications. It is unclear if it includes 911 audio or if it just more communication recorded on police radio. Listen here (Warning: Some strong language):
What transpires in the audio is a mash of officers requesting help all over the theater for victims who are injured or down.
“We’ve got another person outside shot in the leg. A female,” a woman in the audio can be heard saying. “I got people running out of the theater that are shot.”
A man is also heard referring to a suspect in a gas mask. The man asks for a marked car behind the theater for this suspect. Shortly after this request, you can hear officers citing seeing a white car and asking “is that suspect?“ Another officer says ”Yes. We’ve got rifle. Gas mask.” He refers to open doors at the end of the theater.
A frantic officer calls for help over the line saying “We’ve got seven down in theater nine. Seven down!” Another says they have a child requiring assistance at the back of the theater.
The shooting killed 12 and injured at least 50 others. One suspect, 24-year-old James Holmes, was captured on the scene.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 8:55pmDollars to donuts they will find out he was on some anti-depressant. Studies from Eli Lilly showed Prozac caused, “activation.” Learn about this gruesome side effect at the link below and see how they’ve been hiding it!
If it’s true that the shooter was on psych. meds, does that release him of responsibility?

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 5:31pmA sane person carrying an approved weapon could have saved a lot of lives. Gun control nuts and the theater itself are to blame after the deranged shooter. I wonder why this nut case didn’t obey the signs about no firearms? Dah. Keep posting the signs maybe someday someone will.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 11:34amJust a quick question here. Guns are easy to get, but a bullet proof vest, how does some one get one of those. and body that is not military or police should not be able to get one. Where did he get the vest!!!! that is the questions.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 12:57pmBullet proof vests are easy to get online and completely legal. Why should they be available only to law enforcement? Yes the can be used by psychos to help them commit crimes but the can also be used by preppers in case of government breakdown or takeover.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 11:32amApparently the gunman was enraged over people who can’t spell. That’s what sent him over the edge.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 4:26pm@ COMMON SENSE 24 : Does Colorado even ALLOW their Citizens to exercise their God Given Right to Self Protection and Second Ammentment Rights ? Has ANTYHING changed in Colorado since the Urdan Terrorist Attack at Columbine ? Has Colorado been overrun by Liberal Refugees from California – aggravating the nonsense provided by Resident Liberals ? Did ANYONE inside or outside the theater, besides Emergency Personel, render any First Aid to the victims ? How is all this “ Its all about ME Generation ” working out for America ? Does Colorado even HAVE a death penalty ? Why is it even POSSIBLE that the “Ineligible One” would be re-elected, much less elected the first time in 2008 ? Just asking !
