Well I sure do. People panic in situations like this, and it's quite possible that it's hard to tell where the shooting is coming from.

And why do you think movie goer-with-gun would have such an easy time finding him -- and only him -- in the dark, smoke/gas filled, chaotic theater?

It's called a muzzle flash sir. With the AR-15 alone he might as well have had a flashlight in his hand.

Yeah, I know what it is, sir, though you should factor in the tear gas, which can affect the ability of others to make that flashlight out clearly. I just don't have the confidence you seem to that that 90-year-old woman, or any average theater-goer for that matter who lacks experience in situations like this, is going to be taking down the gunman and only the gunman.
