Most stories report that he bought a ticket, exited (propped door open) geared up and came back. A picture online showed his car parked on the back/side of the theatre. Emergency exit doors by design open outward only. I've exited out of a few to avoid the crowd. You'd have to hit one with a car to get it to open in from the outside.
Either way, that's trivial. I didn't hear about it until lunch time. It's simply disgusting that these things happen. Even if someone was present with a concealed weapon he would have done little with what was reported to be a shooter armored nearly head to toe.
I hope that those injured and their families will be OK, and those with dead will get their family members back quickly so they can have some closure. Words can't describe what probably happened in there.
As for me, I'll stay locked and loaded and as aware as I can be of my surroundings. My main goal each day is to simply come home...just as those 12 (or 14) should have been allowed to do.
