Police: Colorado Suspect Planned Attack for Months

AURORA, Colo. (AP) — The Colorado shooting suspect planned the rampage that killed 12 midnight moviegoers with “calculation and deliberation,” police said Saturday, receiving deliveries for months which authorities believe armed him for battle and were used to rig his apartment with dozens of bombs.

Authorities on Saturday were still working to clear dangerous explosive materials from inside James Holmes’ suburban Denver apartment a day after police said he opened fire and set off gas canisters in a suburban theater minutes into the premiere of the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises.” The attack left 12 dead and 58 injured.

His apartment was rigged with jars of liquids, explosives and chemicals that were booby trapped to kill “whoever entered it,” Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said, noting it would have likely been one of his officers.

“You think we’re angry? We sure as hell are angry,” Oates said.

Authorities wouldn’t discuss a motive for one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent U.S. history, as makeshift memorials for the victims sprang up and relatives began to publicly mourn their loved ones. Holmes had recently withdrawn from a competitive graduate program in neuroscience; neighbors and former classmates in California have said he was a smart loner who said little.

He apparently had prepared the attack at the Aurora theater well in advance, receiving multiple deliveries by mail for four months to his home and school and buying thousands rounds of ammunition on the Internet, Oates said.

“He had a high volume of deliveries,” Oates said. “We think this explains how he got his hands on the magazine, ammunition,” he said, as well as the rigged explosives in his apartment.

“What we’re seeing here is evidence of some calculation and deliberation,” Oates added.

Federal authorities detonated one small explosive and disarmed others inside Holmes’ apartment after sending in a robot to take down a trip wire, FBI Special agent James Yacone said. Bomb technicians then neutralized what he called a “hyperbolic mixture” and an improvised explosive device containing an unknown substance. There also were multiple containers of accelerants, he said.

“It was an extremely dangerous environment,” Yacone said, saying anyone who walked in would have sustained “significant injuries” or been killed.

Outside the apartment, police arranged plastic storage boxes and large white plastic bags, possibly for evidence, although no officials were available to confirm the purpose of the containers.

Holmes, 24, was in solitary confinement for his protection at a county detention facility Saturday, held without bond on suspicion of multiple counts of first-degree murder. He was set for an initial hearing on Monday and had been appointed a public defender, authorities said.

Stories of the dead began to emerge, including that of a 6-year-old girl and a man who died on his 27th birthday and a day before his anniversary. Families grieved and waited at hospitals, which reported at least seven wounded still in critical condition Saturday and others with injuries that likely are permanent.

Veronica Moser, 6, had gone to the movies with her mother, who was drifting in and out of consciousness in a hospital intensive care unit, bullets lodged in her throat and a gunshot wound to her abdomen.

“Nobody can tell her about it,” Annie Dalton said of her niece, Ashley Moser. “She is in critical condition, but all she’s asking about is her daughter.”

Veronica had just started swimming lessons on Tuesday, Dalton said.

“She was excited about life as she should be. She’s a 6-year-old girl,” her great aunt said.

Another victim, 27-year-old Matt McQuinn, was killed after diving in front of his girlfriend and her older brother to shield them from the gunfire, said his family’s attorney, Rob Scott of Dayton, Ohio.

Alex Sullivan had planned a weekend of fun, first ringing in his 27th birthday with friends at the special midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” and then celebrating his first wedding anniversary on Sunday.

“He was a very, very good young man,” said Sullivan’s uncle, Joe Loewenguth. “He always had a smile, always made you laugh. He had a little bit of comic in him.”

Oates said Holmes used a military-style semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and a pistol to open fire on the unsuspecting theater-goers. He had bought the weapons at local gun stores within the last two months. He recently purchased 6,000 rounds of ammunition over the Internet, the chief said.

Holmes also bought an urban assault vest, two magazine holders and a knife for just over $300 on July 2 from an online supplier of tactical gear for police and military personnel, according to the company.

Chad Weinman, CEO of TacticalGear.com, said his company processes thousands of orders each day, and there was nothing unusual in the one that Holmes placed. While his company often receives orders from military units and law enforcement organizations, it is not out of the ordinary for individual police officers or soldiers to place orders, he said.

“Everything Mr. Holmes purchased on July 2 is commercially available,” Weinman said, adding he was “appalled” that the material was sold to Holmes before the shooting.

It wasn’t known why the suspect chose a movie theater to stage the assault, or whether he intended some twisted, symbolic link to the film’s violent scenes.

The Batman movie, the last in the trilogy starring Christian Bale, opened worldwide Friday with midnight showings in the U.S.

The Dark Knight Rises” earned $30.6 million in Friday morning midnight screenings, and, according to industry estimates, roughly $75-77 million on the day. That put it on track for a weekend total of around $165 million, which would be the second highest opening weekend ever, following “The Avengers.”

Warner Bros. has announced it would forgo the usual revenue reports until Monday out of respect for the victims. Sony, Disney and Universal also said they would delay reporting box office receipts until Monday, a day later than the routine Sunday releases for Hollywood.

After buying a ticket to the movie, Holmes went into the theater and propped open an exit door several minutes into the film, a federal law enforcement official said. The suspect then returned in protective gear and with high-powered weapons and opened fire, shooting scores of people and picking off victims who tried to flee, officials said.

The shooting was the worst in the U.S. since the Nov. 5, 2009, attack at Fort Hood, Texas. An Army psychiatrist was charged with killing 13 soldiers and civilians and wounding more than two dozen others. It was the deadliest in Colorado since the 1999 attack at Columbine High School, where two students killed 12 classmates and a teacher and wounded 26 others before killing themselves.

After excelling at the University of California-Riverside, Holmes was in the process of withdrawing from a neuroscience Ph.D. program at the University of Colorado-Denver for unknown reasons.

First-year students must take a three-part exam at the end of the academic year to move on in the program, University spokeswoman Jacque Montgomery said Saturday. Montgomery did not know whether Holmes had taken the exam.

As part of the program, Holmes had been listed as making a presentation in May about Micro RNA Biomarkers in a class named “Biological Basis of Psychiatric and Neurological Disorders.”

Mary Muscari, a criminology professor at Regis University in Denver who studies mass killings, said she was not surprised Holmes was studying neuroscience and mental disorders.

“It could be he was interested in that because he knows there’s something different in him,” said Muscari.

She said that several mass murderers are young men in late adolescent or early adulthood. “We‘re talking about guys when they’re at that ago when they’re testosterone charged, their brains start developing, and it’s also when schizophrenia kicks in.”

Those who knew Holmes described him as a shy, intelligent person raised in California by parents who were active in their well-to-do suburban San Diego neighborhood. Holmes played soccer at Westview High School and ran cross-country before going to college.

Police said they would begin collecting the personal items left by panicked moviegoers in days and would move out of the theater by midweek. Shaken law enforcement officials urged residents to not stay home.

“I just don’t want the shameless and senseless act of one man to make this difficult for families to move on,” Aurora Fire Chief Mike Garcia said. “Go out. See a movie. Go out into your city. Don’t be afraid.”

    The FBI stats have proved time and time again that more guns decreased murders. It is not rational to disarm the innocent people and let the criminals get the guns unlawfully, or lawfully, as the Progressives want to do. A disarmed society would mean more murders, chaos, and instability, thats why the US has never been invaded. The Radicals like Bloomberg and Soros are trying to push the anti-gun agenda with their money. Holmes brutally planned all this, and the theatre did not allow guns, so once again a radical progressive with other ideas forces his death agenda…Too bad there wasn’t just one person in the theatre with conceal-carry…He could have popped this guy with one shot.

      I am not sure even a concealed carry would have been effective in this situation. You must understand this animal was dressed in Swat type gear. He was protected head to toe. In fact, SWAT did mistake him as one of their own at first, based on a local news station. They soon realized he was the shooter.

      We all can speculate what drove this person to do such a thing, even me. The one thing we shouldn’t do is blame other inanimate things; it wasn’t violent games, it wasn’t violent movies. In his bio on Match.com, not one Batman movie was listed as his favorite.

      My speculation:
      Remember he was in neuroscience and I am sure in his course work, they studied the mind of serial killers and claims of insanity. If anything gave him this idea to claim himself as the “Joker”, I am thinking this just happened to be the cover for him to act out. It is also possible (in a sick twisted way) he wanted to put himself in the mind of a killer, to know what it was like; thesis material. If that is not the case, perhaps he has a brain tumor or as one doctor said on Fox News, schizophrenic. Only time will tell.

They conjure up a following of people that gravitate to this odd and peculiar material and then percentages confirm that in every so many there will be a “bad apple” like this snake in Aurora, CO. There is junk out there that piques the interest of unstable people and then they act it out. Then we scratch our heads after a heinous mass murder like this and wonder why someone would behave this way.

    I am sick of these news agencies talking about ARs as a “military type” gun. Yes, yes, yes, I know it is but it is giving it a bad wrap. Just because this has happened doesn’t make this gun a bad gun. It is quite common to be used for hunting. I have an odd feeling that people are going to use this tragedy to push a political agenda against these types of guns. By them banning them means that the LAW abiding citizens will lose their privileges to own one of these guns while it won’t stop a criminal from obtaining one. Wake up. Pot is illegal yet people still by pot. Drunk driving is illegal yet they still drive drunk. Point is criminals and crazy people are going to try and kill people if they are hell bent on it. With a gun, car, bombs, etc. You aren’t going to stop it. Bottom line is that this should not be used as a campaign to ban ARs.

I lived in Flint Michigan tell 2009. Funny thing happen when they made it easy to get a CCW. Crime went down and stayed more with thugs killing each other. Funny how that works. If you try any type of trace you only hurt people who will fellow the law. Its all about numbers. There to many guns and ammo out there. Any ban in the USA will give bad people a go get evil card. Just a fact look up how many gun are out there. With no way to know who has one. Feeling need to stay out of this. I know that sounds hartless.

    Neuroscience? A broad study of the brain, nervous system, and emotions. Unless James Holmes has a brain tumor, the focus should be on “emotions”. There is also rumors that he is connected to the OWS movement, specifically the Black Bloc wing. The Black Bloc wing dresses in the color Black. They cover their faces to hide their identities. They advocate the murder of law enforcement, the destruction of privately owned businesses, and chaos to END the system of free enterprise and Capitalism.

      That criminologists is right – many people who take psychology as a major do so because they are dealing with psychological problems. Now I’m not saying all shrinks have mental problems themselves, I just talking students – not everyone keeps their major or graduates with a doctorate.

      Cops say he had body armor. How did he get the ballistic plates, those are VERY hard to get. Usually reserved for law enforcement and military only. That and the money, someone helped this man. FBI false flag.

      Somebody else on another story pointed this out last night. Considering his parents were well off, and the potential direction that he was headed job wise with a PHD, he undoubtedly had credit cards. When he was planning a total punch out and didn’t think that he was coming back, either from an eventual shoot out, or as he is now, in jail, why not go ahead and max out the credit cards? Not like he was going to bother paying it back anyway.

    I’m sorry…but I personally don’t want to know anything about this guy, except maybe when they put him away for life or fry his butt…I believe this is one of the reasons these whacko’s do this stuff…the all day news and articles about them…I could care less…I do feel deep, deep sympathy for his victims…can’t even imagine what these families are going through.

      Perhaps if someone who knew him had read an article of this nature they could possibly have seen it coming.

      I was thinking the same thing when I wrote what I wrote…still don’t want to know anything about this dude..the constant news coverage on this guy is a little sickening…you could be right though..you never know what you may discover when you do learn how these guys tick…I often watch dectective shows just to maybe learn what not to do…know what I mean….bunch of crazies in the world thats for sure.

      METEORICLIMBO, you are so right. That person should have been his mother, a nurse, who thought that he was the perpetrator from the moment she heard of the incident. There were a lot of people who not only let Holmes down, but the city of Aurora, CO as well.
