One of the people in the theater is suing over the attack:
CLICKY HERE
He is targeting:
1. The theater. Karpel claims it was negligent for the theater to have an emergency door in the front that was not alarmed or guarded. It's widely believed Holmes entered the theater with a ticket, propped the emergency door open from inside, went to his car and returned with guns.
2. Holmes' doctors. Karpel says it appears Holmes was on several medications -- prescribed by one or more doctors -- at the time of the shooting and he believes the docs did not properly monitor Holmes.
3. Warner Bros. Karpel says Dark Knight Rises was particularly violent and Holmes mimicked some of the action. The attorney says theater goers were helpless because they thought the shooter was part of the movie.
I understand the first one, emergency exits should be alarmed, although I am unsure what that would have changed, people are not going to flee a movie theater because some guy left through the emergency exit. I guess someone would have removed the prop holding the door open, but not like that should shut off the alarm.
The other two are just so absurd.
