Shooting

This Google Street View image shows the exit door for Theater 9 (yellow circle) and the spot where Holmes parked his vehicle (red ellipse). Roughly twenty minutes into the movie, the 24-year-old stood up and left via the exit door. He then walked to his car, grabbed his weapons, and returned. Following the shooting, Aurora police officer Jason Oviatt found Holmes standing next to his vehicle at the back of the multiplex. At first, Oviatt mistook him for another officer, as he was wearing a tactical helmet, gas mask, and tactical clothing. However, he soon noticed that he was acting oddly. When Oviatt ordered Holmes to get on his knees, he did so and put up no resistance. During the arrest, he seemed calm and "disconnected". After being taken into custody, he told the officers how many guns he had. He also informed them that he had acted alone and that his apartment was rigged with explosives.
