The James Holmes Conspiracy (2012 Full Documentary)

AURORA, Colo. — An official with University of Colorado Hospital confirmed Friday that someone called the main switchboard on July 20, minutes before a gunman opened fire in a crowded midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” killing 12 and wounding 58.

The anonymous caller hung up a few second later without saying a word, said Brad Fixler, marketing director for the hospital. The call could fit into a scenario offered for the first time Thursday by a defense attorney for the man accused of carrying out the massacre, James E. Holmes.

Public Defender Tamara Brady hinted during a court hearing that Holmes may have been trying to reach university psychiatrist Lynne Fenton through the hospital’s main switchboard just before the shooting began. “Did James Holmes call that number nine minutes before the shooting began?” Brady asked. Fenton said she did not know.

Fixler said after learning about the hearing and anticipating questions, he checked switchboard records and discovered that at “12:31 a.m. July 20, we did receive a phone call that lasted seven seconds to our main switchboard.”
