Photos

I was checking out the crime scene photos from this incident. I know we've all been to the movies and know the lay out of them but it fair hits home how frightening it must have been when you see the blood, bullet holes and snacks strewn all over the place.

yikes...

That just looks like a regular home security shotgun. Where was this found? Also, what are all those round, bowling ball like objects in the above photos?

urgh. the actual photo I commented upon looks like a semi automatic gun, not the one I was actully commenting upon. I was looking at a picture of a shotgun when I commented.

That was found at the front right corner inside the theatre.

The devices included about 30 aerial shells commonly used in commercial fireworks.

A federal law enforcement official at the time said the shells had been cannibalized, reconstructed and set up in the living room, where a stream of wires connected them to a "control box" in the unit's kitchen.

Agents also discovered inside Apt. 10 a pyrotechnic box with six-inch fireworks shells attached to a number of black balls filled with gunpowder, gas, and oil on top of the fridge. Holmes told detectives that the detonator to set off the box was attached to a remote control outside next to a garbage dumpster, a boom box, and a remote-controlled car.

So, rather than reloading this shotgun, he just dropped it and used something already loaded?

James E. Holmes, the man accused in the Aurora shootings, used all three types of weapons inside the theater: first firing the shotgun, then using the semiautomatic rifle until its 100-round barrel magazine jammed, and finishing off with a pistol.

That setup in James's apartment looked like some weird rude Goldberg like contraption and what ups with all those filled two liter bottles all over the floor? Are they filled with gasoline or something flammable? His eyes in those photos gives me the creeps lol but the brains poster in that one photo was cool though.

Yes, the 2-liter bottles were filled with gasoline.

but james holmes's AR rifle did not have a drum magazine?i'm a little confused about this...

Man he had all these weapons and they were bought legally it is really scary. But still despite the large number of weapons he had, he did not mass murder as many people as say someone like Cho who only had a 9mm pistol.

Those pictures of him with the big black eyes were creepy as fuck.

Such a strange man

So much things overlooked leading up to shooting very sad

Were pictures of the apartment released by police or did Holmes post them somewhere before he went to the theatre?

Cops.

So, no threat of copycats when you name ingredients, describe processes, and show the finished network for homemade explosives, but those Basement Tapes...

There are several other factors that contributed to Cho's large kill count. Although he had a comparatively small arsenal, he used hollow point bullets, fragment on impact, sending shrapnel into the target's various gushy organs and blood vessels. Cho also barricaded all exits, allowing him a far greater time frame than other shooters. Cho also returned to classrooms he had already attacked and shot wounded victims again, just to be sure (though some people managed to play dead).
