'Dark Knight' shooting suspect 'was about to be kicked out of his home in Colorado'

Washington, July 23 (ANI): James Holmes , who is alleged to have opened fire during a packed midnight screening of the Batman film 'The Dark Knight Rises,' in the U.S., was just days away from possibly being kicked out from his Colorado apartment when he carried out the shooting rampage.

Two residents of Holmes' apartment building said that the 'Batman obsessed' killer was asked to move out of the flat within 30 days.

"In order to live in the complex you MUST be enrolled in the university. As soon as your student status is axed, you only have 30 days to move out," they told TMZ.

Holmes was a University of Colorado student at one time, but school officials said he dropped out in June.

According to the report, that means Holmes was just about at the end of his 30-day grace period to move out of his apartment when he took an arsenal of weapons to a local theater in Denver and opened fire, killing 12 people. (ANI)
