For weeks now I’ve been analyzing the events that transpired during and immediately following a mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado on July 20, 2012. As I’ve mentioned in previous articles, I initially assumed this was going to be an open and shut case. Even when conflicting eye witness accounts began to surface about the description of the shooter and possibility of multiple accomplices, I mostly believed it would all be sorted out in the end.
If I were reading this blog for the first time and not actually writing it, I’d be coming up with logical explanations of every single question I’ve presented thus far. Perhaps you have been doing this too. The truth is, with MOST conspiracy theories there are logical explanations for any one or two unusual circumstances. It’s when the number of odd and unusual circumstances that need explaining away reaches dozens and dozens that I feel a LOGICAL person needs to start wondering if something fishy is going on. Today we are going to add a few more “odd and unusual circumstances” surrounding the shooting that early morning – the possibility of multiple explosive devices found out back, in front and even inside the theater.
July 20, 2012 1:25 am
At 1:25 am, the fire department’s “Aurora Mall Command” assigned Engine Seven to be in charge of the staging area at Exposition and Sable and assigns him to Tac channel 3.
On police dispatch channels at 1:25 am, they are instructing witnesses not to leave the scene and to wait for officers to take their information. Dispatch confirms that no one is allowed to leave at this time. It is also reported that many of the victims are gone now off to local hospitals.
July 20, 2012 1:26 am
At 1:26 am, Aurora police unit 207 asks to have the air for a second and reports, “I’ve got a wounded guy in the witnesses…he didn’t know he was dead [sic]…he’s got shrapnel in his face…is there another ambulance close by?”
We can only presume the officer meant that the witness didn’t realize someone he was with was dead or maybe he didn’t know he was “hit”. It’s unclear because the transmission is broken.
July 20, 2012, 1:27 am
At 1:27 am, fire dispatch will call in to Aurora Command, “Per the PD, lieutenant is again requesting a fire chief to the front of the theater.”
The reader will be reminded that the Aurora police have been requesting someone in charge of the fire department response to come talk to them in front of the theater. Aurora Mall Command is officially in charge and has repeatedly delayed responding to the police request.
At 1:27 am, Jefferson County officers call in on scene.
July 20, 2012, 1:28 am
At 1:28 am, Truck Two responds to fire dispatch saying, “…we’re on the inside speaking to the lieutenant.” Truck Two’s voice sounds shaken.
A police officer reports in with “…fire has a fan available to blow out this theater. Is there a way to safely do that at this point?”
Theater nine is presumably filled with tear gas and officers inside are having a hard time seeing through the smoke and are asking for fans to vent the theater.
Cruiser 11 responds, “only from the front lobby area is all I want. I don’t want anything in the back disturbed.”
Some logistics are worked out on fire channels and then Aurora Mall Command reports in with this brilliant gem, “Chief Seven is going to be with APD (Aurora Police Department)… he’s going to be a liaison.. once he meets with them…I’ll ?? the command structure here a little bit but…but until he gets an idea what’s going on just be advised if PD needs to talk to anybody face to face it’s with Chief Seven through PD”.
Amazing! Somehow “Aurora Mall Command” (formally “Century Command”) has been able to repeatedly ignore requests to send medics to the back of the theater and has repeatedly ignored requests to meet with the police lieutenant and now it is painfully clear he never intends to meet with anyone face to face about his inaction as he passes the baton to Chief Seven. It is as if he has done his job of stalling long enough for Chief Seven to get on scene and cover him from this obligation.
July 20, 2012 1:29 am
At 1:29 am an officer reports. “The main parking lot, directly in front of the movie theater has been cleared. We’re going to the south lot.”
At 1:29 am, Engine Five reports to Aurora Mall Command that Denver fire is on scene and cannot get to the staging area on Exposition and Sable. In his classic demonstration of not listening, Aurora Mall Command responds to just have them go to the staging area at Exposition and Sable (which they JUST reported they couldn’t do).. When Engine Five repeats that they cannot get to the staging area, Aurora Mall Command gets irritated and asked, “Can they just go around???”
The actions of Aurora Mall Command continually stun and amaze me.
July 20, 2012 1:30 am
At 1:30 am, as fire apparatus are calling in that they are at staging and awaiting assignments, Aurora Mall Command responds, “Ok, I just need everybody at staging to just sit tight. Right now there are no assignments for anybody. PD is meeting with Chief Seven and will come up with a plan…so everybody just sit tight. We have no patients to be transported at this time.”
July 20, 2012 1:31 am
At approximately 1:31 am, Chief Seven calls in to Aurora Mall Command, “Command, I’ve got a runner coming your way but uh, I’ll tell you about by radio…uh, let’s call me liason…I’ll stay with police command on this so I’ll be liaison officer…uh…they want to send in a team just to have…uh… paramedics from our department accompany them to survey the black patients to make sure they are black. I need at least three to five people in case it turns into an extraction team…all paramedics so we can do a quick survey of the victims inside and make sure they’re..uh…black patients…If not, I’ll have to transfer them into..uh…an extraction team right away… so three to five medics if you can to the front of the theater….uh right in front of the…uh… neon signs there and I’ll meet ‘em there.”
Again, the reference here to “black” patients means dead patients and is not a reference to their race. In other words, it is believed that everyone left inside the theater now is dead and paramedics are just coming in to confirm that there are no survivors among the bodies inside.
Aurora Mall responds, “Copy I’m in face to face with Century Division and they’re gonna…he’s gonna send you three to four medics.”
Police are reporting on air that the inside of the theater is secure. Police dispatch reports that bomb squad is en route.
Cruiser 49 calls into police dispatch and reports, “Yeah, what we’re doing is that anybody that actually saw the shooter or saw the whole thing unfold…uh…we’re getting their information but we’re also going to hold them here just in case you or anyone else wants to talk to them.”
July 20, 2012 1:33 am
At 1:33 am, fire dispatch seems to be reporting on an unrelated assault called in earlier at a location across town. The victims is a female who was punched in the back of the head and neck. At the same time, Aurora PD’s Lincoln twenty five is confirming that Denver police are handling the witnesses and is requesting dispatch to work on patching Denver and Aurora’s radio channels together so they can talk to each other.
July 20, 2012, 1:35 am
By 1:35 am, there will be eighteen ambulances in the staging area on scene. Nearly all of the victims have been transported at this time and hospitals are being notified that no more patients are coming.
Also at 1:35 am, Cruiser 11 is reporting his location, “…at the rear, I’ve got the theater…securing that…securing the suspect’s vehicle…I’m back here on the…uh…east side, theater number nine.”
Dispatch reports that Blue SE channel is being patched in now.
Seconds later an officer reports on air, “Three twenty one, I had another witness say green camouflage pants.”
This is yet apparently ANOTHER eyewitness report of a suspect wearing different clothes than James Holmes.
Lincoln twenty five asks, “…hold your communication until we get patched here.” I pause to wonder if there is concern about repeatedly airing information about additional shooters.
So again, we have more evidenced that witnesses are describing another accomplice at the shooting with green camouflage pants. Similarly, at the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting months later on December 14, 2012, witnesses will again notice a man in dark green camouflage pants fleeing the scene. In that shooting the man in green camouflage pants will actually be detained and yell out to people that he’s not the shooter. Local newspapers in Newtown Connecticut will later reveal the man detained in the camouflage outfit at that shooting was actually an off duty SWAT team member from another city. No explanation will be given on WHY he was there behind the school.
July 20, 2012, 1:36 am
At 1:36 am, Fire Chief Seven, now the new active fire chief calls in, “Command from Police Liaison…Command, just so you know…uh, we’re negating that disband…we’ve got fire personnel that have already swept the…uh…interior and have…uh…deemed them all black patients…uh so, I’m going to keep that crew that you sent intact as a pronouncement group for lack of a better term…uh…simply because there is a secondary device reported to be in one of these SUV’s at the front of the building. There…uh…the pronouncement team is on the other side of the Engine Eight for safety. We still have Truck Two’s crew inside waiting for…uh…word from police on ventilation and I think that’s what we have for resources right at the theater.”
Note that a “secondary device” is being reportedly found inside an SUV at the front of the theater. It is presumed that the word “device” refers to a potential explosive devices and already a bomb squad has been called in. Mainstream media has largely entirely dismissed reporting on any potential explosive devices even though we now have multiple explosive devices being investigated. One device is potentially in James Holmes’ vehicle and now a second device is in an SUV out front of the theater.
July 20, 2012, 1:37 am
At 1:37 am, an Arapaho County Unit 46 calls in on police channels reporting, “We have an open door at the mall it’s going to be on the east side next to the food court.”
This is a new interesting development. It has been discovered that a nearby shopping mall has an open door near the food court that has been found open. Already I have speculated that multiple suspects were seen fleeing the back parking lot of the theater. There have been reports of police looking for additional suspects possibly dressed in tactical gear and carrying long guns. The police have requested a helicopter in the air to survey the scene and now officers appear to be searching a nearby shopping mall and have discovered an open door. Add this to the fact that potentially multiple explosive devices are being reported in multiple vehicles, leads me to believe the police still are investigating the potential of additional suspects.
Denver police respond, “Denver Tac-8…all of the Denver tac cars are out on that ??…if you can get ahold of a K-9..one of our K-9’s or if Aurora has a K-9 so we can start a search.”
Dispatch responds, “Any available K-9 on Blue South East…they can help search the mall…and east side open door at the food court.”
Again, Denver police are now calling out a K-9 units to help search the mall for what must be assumed to be potential additional suspects.
July 20, 2012, 1:38 am
At approximately 1:38 am, fire Chief Three calls in to Chief Seven (also known as Police Liaison), “…Mark, I’m going to assist at Command, you stay… you’re going to be Police Liaison and assisting with staging?”
Fire Chief Seven responds, “Negative on staging…uh…watch commander came up and wanted a chief officer present with him. He had a degree of urgency…so, uh…since I was still getting briefed, I..uh…spun off and left Chris in command and came up here to find out what was going on. I don’t know if you copied my last transmission. Please tell me they’ve surveyed the theater three times with a…that they swept it three times with personnel. They think all victims are accounted for. We’ve got ten black patients inside and uh.. we’re not going to send another team in per the original request to uh…survey to see if any of them are salvagable… and uh… possible secondary device here in front of the theater in an SUV as well as reports of possible devices inside the theater…I’ve got Truck Two inside standing by…because originally police wanted them for ventilation… and it’s kind of a hodgepodge group…uh…about five medics…in case any police officer gets hurt or any undiscovered victims surface.”
Stop for a moment here to digest all this transmission. At this point we can assume the “watch commander,” here referred to as “Chris” is none other than Century Command, or Aurora Mall command, the acting fire chief on scene since the start of the event. Of interest is that Chief Seven mentions the watch commander came up to him when he arrived on scene with a “sense of urgency” and “wanted a chief officer present with him”. It appears Chris didn’t feel comfortable meeting up with the police lieutenant for some reason which is also evidence by his continual ignoring of requests to meet with him. His urgency is probably due to the fact he can’t stall for much longer as he is continually being called on the carpet for his lack of response. Chris’s solution it seems, after briefing Mark (Chief Seven), is that Chief Seven will deal with the police lieutenant so Aurora Mall Command doesn’t have to.
Also of particular interest is the statement that police are finding other possible devices INSIDE the theater now. Now we have potential explosive devices found in the shooters vehicle, an SUV out front and now possible multiple explosive devices inside the theater. None of this is reported on mainstream news. In addition, police dispatch is coordinating officers to search the open door at the nearby shopping mall.
I would also like to point out in a little over an hour, the Chief of Police of Aurora will hold his first press conference and declare very firmly that there is only one shooter and there is no evidence of any additional accomplices. This despite the discovery of possible explosive devices in multiple cars, possible explosive devices in the theater, an air one unit coming in to search overhead, eyewitness testimony which conflicts about how the shooter was dressed, people reported fleeing the theater wearing tactical gear and long guns, open doors at the mall that are unexplained, etc. Even if eventually all of these events can be explained away as false leads, can the Chief of Police honestly determine that so quickly during an ongoing and chaotic investigation???
