Aurora Releases After Action Report on 2012 Movie Theater Shooting
The report revisits the shooting, in which Holmes allegedly shot 70 people and killed 12, and an additional 12 or more people were injured trying to flee the theater. The report noted that, 'no one who died could have been saved by EMS actions,' and that, 'while there are things to improve...the City of Aurora should be proud of its response to the largest civilian shooting in U.S. history.'
Among the recommendations made in the report are the implementation of emergency exists with alarms, educating the public on how to respond during a shooting, creating a larger evacuation zone, improving ambulance acess, and setting up a single fund for all donations for victims.
The report also noted that, 'several officers reported being required to return to work with little sleep and limited psychological assistance,' a situation that should be avoided by relieving, 'officers exposed to high levels of trauma.'
Parts of the 188 page report are redacted, and the Colorado Judicial Branch said it wouldn't release a statement.
