'Sick' Colorado massacre suspect asked prison guard 'how Dark Knight Rises ended'

New York, July 26 (ANI): James Holmes, who has been accused of killing at least 12 people during the screening of latest Batman film 'The Dark Knight Rises,' at a movie theater in Colorado, the US, wanted to know how the film ended.

"Did you see the movie? How does it end?" the Batman obsessed killer asked the bizarre question to a jail worker on Tuesday.

Holmes repeated the question when the worker ignored him, according to another jail employee who witnessed the incident.

"Holmes was trying to look like he was sincerely curious," the New York Daily News quoted the witness, as saying.

"Like he had no idea why there was anything wrong with what he was saying. It was sick ... I think he's trying real hard to act crazy," the witness added.

The jail worker was stunned by Holmes' callous question about the movie now synonymous with his homicidal rampage.

"If he said that to me, it would have been real hard to resist smacking him," the worker said.

According to the report, Holmes, 24, bought a ticket to the movie and watched the first half-hour before allegedly slipping outside to his car, and returning in full body armor to open fire on the unsuspecting moviegoers. (ANI)
