Not clear from the photo, but from the first videos in court after his arrest; Holmes appears to be in a state of mind in which he does not know what is happening around him and does not have a focus on anything.[1] | |
Born | December 13, 1987 (age 35) San Diego, California |
Nationality | American |
The "Batman shooter" |
James Eagan Holmes is said to be the shooter responsible for the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting in which he killed 12 people and injured 70 others at a movie theater on July 20, 2012. He had no known criminal background before the shooting occurred.[2] His home was booby-trapped with explosives, which were defused one day later by a bomb squad.
The arresting officer noted that Holmes seemed relaxed, smiled, would comply with commands given by him.[3]
