Here's an article analyzing the situation and hypothesizing on armed members in the audience.
That analysis was pretty good. Not sure about the conclusions of the best place to be in the theater. I would say that if you survive the first few seconds then you should be able to get a good shot soon there after especially when he transitions or had the malfunction from anywhere on the right side of the theater. There is no scale of distance on the analysis and more than 25m starts getting tough for a pistol when you have time to take aim at a range. 10m and in should be a no brainer and you could put a mag into the armor and face in just a few seconds. Primary concern at that point is innocent bystanders.

IIRC, the mall and theater had "No Weapon Stickers" meaning that if caught with a weapon could be considered armed trespass (I'm not familiar with CO law) and that law abiding citizens would probably disarm themselves to see a movie there. That would negate his conclusions unless your right to carry is stated in statutes (FL law gives you the right to carry ANYWHERE not prohibited by law, aka crack and whore houses...or if asked to leave a premises...if you stay it becomes armed trespass).
