ticket. police say he spent about two months amassing some 6,000 rounds for the glock side arms and for the ar-15, some 300 rounds for the 12-gauge shotgun. police say that he did have a drum type magazine capable of holding 100 rounds for the ar-15. also that he bought on an kpe expedited basis all that body armor, complete with leg protection and neck protection. still when police approached him on the backside of the theater after all of this was done, he gave up without a fight. that is an interesting point, michael. thank you very much. all of this, you would have thought he would have gone down shooting. the point mike made about all the equipment, this ar-15 assault rifle runs between $750 and $1,000. how did he pay for that let alone these 6,000 rounds and all the body armor? you re talking in the
months ahead of the attack. and he got on the internet, in a massive arsenal. 3000, 223 bullets that he was carrying, another caliber bullet that would correspond with the the two glock side arms that they had. one was on his possession at the time and one the police chief believes he said was inside the vehicle out in the parking lot and also purchased on the internet. some300 .12 gain shotguns. all were bought legally and locally and all the background checks would have turned up as a simple speeding ticket, nothing to cause a red flag and police are also going to want to look into investigation of the purchases of the body armor. he had more body armor than soldiers wear into combat, a tactical helmet, a throat protector, a chest protecting vest and groin detector and
