This is the gun the movie theater suspect had. Although it looks like a real firearm, it is an airsoft pistol. pic.twitter.com/mixi9LGc9Y

We just learned he was carrying a pellet gun, not a real one. He was 29 yrs old and lived "all over." #NBC4DC https://t.co/2eKhqRgFWK

Montano also had a backpack strapped to his chest, which caused some trepidation but turned out to be a “hoax device.”

CNN reports that Montano had been committed to a mental institution four times: twice in 2004 and twice in 2007.
@MNPDNashville this sounds like a suicide by cop scenario.
