bell reavue Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) "A lone 24-year-old masked gunman entered a Colorado movie theater playing the new Batman movie and opened fire early Friday, killing at least 12 people and wounding 50, according to police and local media. The suspect, a white male, was found in the parking lot and did not resist arrest, CNN said." "Eyewitnesses said the gunman entered the movie theater through the emergency exit door near the front of the screen in theater No. 9 at the Century 16 in Aurora. A witness, who declined to be identified, told The Times that the gunman then "threw a canister across the theater," unleashing gas, "then started shooting." http://www.latimes.c...0,2147749.story And the story from witnesses: http://www.latimes.c...0,1455577.story Horrible tragedy and my heart goes out to all the people affected by this man.

=FA=Google Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 So sad that things like this happen in the world, I can't believe that a human can act like this!! How can a human be so sick he comes up with something like this crap... Quote
Chuckun Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 It's no excuse, but its likely he blew a gasket and no longer actually thought with human empathy or reason.. People who do things like this can only be insane for whatever reason.. At least he isnt still on the loose.. Not that that helps those whose loved ones have already lost their lives.. 1 Quote

Yes it said he was caught in the parking lot and didn't resist arrest. Also a reason to think he was insane. My first thought when I heard about the tragedy was "thank god it was Batman and not Harry Potter, where the theater would be full of kids" but still damage is done to families Quote
epicofail Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Saw this on the news this morning.. Condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. Quote
ladykris Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Hard to believe there are those kind of people in the world; truly scary. Quote

TulsaGeoff Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Colorado has also been dealing with many wild fires recently. It's not good at all. Quote
bell reavue Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Seriously wtf with security? I've never been to a movie theater that checked for guns. Just like I do with popcorn...he probably snuck things in easily under his jacket. Quote
icky?/ Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Apparently his flat was boobytrapped like hell. Quote
