That means that shooting at him would only be a danger to people between

and a big danger to the people beyond the shooter with a
good aim, particularly if a soft [unarmored] spot like the
head was hit, and around the shooter unless the aim was
perfect. With a high penetration round, i.e. hard/fmj,
serious danger of ricochets also exists.

One big question is how did the perp get in the theater
dressed in body armor, wearing or carrying a gas mask, and
an assault rifle? Walk through the lobby? Use a side or
back entrance? Side and back entrances are normally fire
exits and only open from the inside, and are usually
alarmed.

There is far more to this story.




Yes there is.

One report said he had a used ticket on him when he was arrested.

Based on that, he probably went in normally, slipped out the exit
(why no alarm?), rigged the door, dressed up and came back in.

There are no alarms on the side/back doors of the theater here. Everyone
walks out the doors after the show is over.

More will come out in the next few days.


And more will come out of the fantasy-heroes here in the next few days
as well.

You seem to be having fun, too.
