An eyewitness to Friday morning's Batman movie shooting spree stated that he saw the shooter take a phone call on his cell, open the theater's emergency door and appear to wave someone over. Twenty minutes later 12 people were dead and nearly 60 wounded.
Corbin Date was seated in the second row of the Century 16 theater in Aurora, Colo. when Holmes entered the theater. Date told the press and authorities that he saw the alleged shooter, James Holmes take a seat in the front row near the exit door. Holmes acted as if he received a phone call and went to the emergency door which opened onto the parking lot. Date told police it appeared as if Holmes was waving someone else to the door before he stepped outside.
About 20 minutes into the film, a gunman clad head to toe in body armor, heavily armed and wearing a gas mask, burst back in through the emergency door. He tossed an exploding canister which released gas into the theater and then the shooting began.

Date described the shooter as approximately 5'9". Holmes stands 6'3", a full half foot taller. While it is easy to misgauge height under such circumstances, it is a noticeable difference.
Another witness, seen in the video at left, stated a second canister was thrown from the opposite side of the theater indicating a potential accomplice as well.
This massacre was clearly well-choreographed and planned out. Holmes allegedly left his weapons and tactical gear outside the theater's back door. That seems implausible that something so well planned would be left to the chance that no one would notice this. Moreover, once the back door is closed it cannot be opened from the outside.
Only two days prior to the shooting Holmes was casually having drinks and talking sports like a regular guy. Jackie Mitchell, a furniture mover who lives several blocks from the suspect's apartment building in Colorado, told Fox News he had drinks with Holmes at a local bar on Tuesday night, and stated he showed no sign of being distressed or violent."
"We just talked about football. He had a backpack and geeky glasses and seemed like a real intelligent guy, and I figured he was one of the college students"
When Mitchell saw Holmes' photo after the shooting, "the hair stood up on my back," he said. "I know this guy."
The 24-year-old Holmes was working on a doctorate degree in Neuroscience when he began buying weapons and receiving an abundance of package deliveries. This would imply that Holmes had been building to this, either alone or with others, leading up to Friday morning's attack.
Holmes rented his apartment only a couple of weeks prior to the shooting, and the level of sophistication with regard to booby-trapping the apartment would have taken hours, even days. This information suggests Holmes was living at an alternate location.
Could one man skillfully organize this tragedy, including creating the booby-trapped apartment he left behind? Could one unassuming college student acquire such extensive military grade equipment on his own?
