Only tangentially related, but I'd like to know:
The Wikipedia article on the incident says "The first phone calls to emergency services via 9-1-1 were made at 12:39 a.m. The police arrived within 90 seconds and apprehended the suspect."
I'm wondering, can this be true? Are they really that fast? If so, impressive.
- refurb 14y agoThere were policemen on patrol near the theater at the time. Otherwise that response time would have been more like 5-10 min (at the least).
- briannewman 14y agoAccording to the police chief, they had a lot of extra officers out on the streets as part of a summer initiative. Aurora is a typical strip mall suburb so it is feasible that a unit even a mile or two away could get there in 90 seconds, especially at that time of night with no traffic.
