Dr. Fenton

He even purchased tire puncturing devices to use on police cars so he could get away. He bought a ton of body armor so that he wouldn't get shot in the attack. And just in case he did, he also purchased a first aid kit for himself. He truly thought that he could shoot up this theater and then escape.

On July 1st, he went out and bought a rifle and more ammunition. He also drove to a shooting range about two and a half hours away from Aurora. He ended up going to this range five different times before the shooting to practice. He bought specialty earmuffs and he spent hours shooting at life-size silhouettes.

Witnesses reported that while shooting at the targets, he would move side to side, sometimes even crouching down. he was perfecting his form. That week, he also bought these black contacts that he wanted to wear during the shooting. Ones that made your eyes look completely black. He would later say that he bought them because he thought it would make him look cool.

On July 17th, James buys a movie ticket for The Dark Knight Rises on July 20th, 2012. And he actually buys three of them because every time he purchased the ticket, it put him in Theater 8. Now Theater 8 was one of the theaters that he wanted to avoid due to the amount of exits. So he tries to buy another ticket to Theater 9.

and another and another, but every time he does, it just gives him a ticket to theater eight. So that's when he decided, screw the ticket, I'll just pretend I'm walking into theater eight and instead I'll slip into theater nine.

He also bought window tent for his car and air fresheners to mask the smell of gasoline in his apartment. In the days before the shooting, James laid out all of his weapons on his bed. He tried on all of his tactical gear. He would later say, quote, "'I tested it first, just wearing it with all the magazines in their places and the gun slings on and off.'"
