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.

In the early hours, there was word of a second suspect.

About a year? Isn’t that close to the same amount of time Holmes has been there? Knew him from CA?

Maybe it’s the guy who let him in the emergency door. It’s on Drudge. Makes sense. Somebody had to let him in. Apparently some dude with a cell phone in the front row took a call, got up, went to the emergency door, came back, sat down, moments later dick wad enters and starts murdering people.

So there was a second person involved after all? Wow. This would change the case.

If that is the case, then we have conspiracy charges to add to things.

This would change the case.

Criminal conspiracy + 12 counts of homicide on # 2 for starters.

According to early (possibly incorrect) reports, the shooter went out the emergency exit, kept it from latching, prepared himself, and re-entered the theater through it. His having an accomplice is certainly a possibility.

I thought I heard on the radio last night where a witness said he saw the guy get up and leave out the emergency exit, and then awhile later (15 minutes?) he came back in and tossed a canister and started shooting.

I wonder if this “person of interest” isn't just some other nutcase wanting in on the notoriety? Or - if the shooter was part of the OWS black pantie group (or whatever it was called) - if the caller is with the same group?

Do they have a camera image of the red hair guy actually buying the ticket or walking into the theater? I mean if it was dark in there how do they know that the person who left through the exit wasn’t an accomplice and then the red hair man came in all dressed up.

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

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?

“Neighbors say he and his roommate left their home hours before the massacre. They haven’t seen him since”

Two more “crazy” people? Maybe something got loose at the lab.

This is obviously another attention seeking nut.

Not just School of Medicine, he’s in the Department of Neuroscience, according to one passworded secure site hit that came up. Couldn’t look into it any further.
