It is my understanding the shooter left the theater and returned. Has anyone else heard this. If he left and came back then would not that fall in the category of premeditation!!
Not necessarily. If he went to management to lodge a complaint, he was perhaps exercising his right to quiet enjoyment of the movie experience. No one could easily prove if he had the mens rea at that time. Thereafter, the incident transpired.
He allegedly went to find a manager but didn’t find one. Theatre staff said that he never contacted them. Specualation is that he went to his vehicle to get the gun.
