' Holmes had attended high school in San Diego. His mother still lives there. Family members have said their "hearts go out" to the victims.
' He enrolled as a PhD candidate in neuroscience at the University of Colorado Medical Center in 2011. He was in the process of withdrawing from that program.
' The U.S. Army, concerned over speculation that the shooter might have been a veteran ' and eager to stifle the meme of the psychotic veteran before it spread ' felt compelled to email that a database check of the suspect resulted in 'no evidence suggest[ing] this individual served in the Army.'' Holmes was dressed in black, wearing a gas mask and a bullet-resistant vest. He was carrying several firearms, including two handguns, what has been described as an "AK-47-style" assault rifle, and a shotgun.
