Link: 14 dead and up to 50 people wounded in CO shooting

Just awful. Must be a terrifying experience to come under fire and really have no easy place to run for cover. Like being a fish in a barrel.

What could possibly go so wrong for someone that would cause him to resort to something like this? Absolute mindless disregard for human life. Seems to be happening far too often these days.

Horrible.

just heard about this. that just had to be absolutely horrific

I just can't understand what would make someone do such a terrible deed. Prayers to those shot and their families. I usually don't carry a weapon around town but things like this make me think twice about it, even here in a small town.

i can't imagine either, some serious crazy.

My prayers go out to the victims and their families.


I have to say that the Today Show's coverage this morning was horrible. Matt Lauer is an idiot, he kept saying over and over that "I'm sure many people thought it was part of the movie." That's a dumb statement to make but, I guess he doesn't go to many movies because I've never been to one were they had an person come into the theater and do something as "part of the movie." I just think that was a dumb statement to make and he kept saying it, I heard it at least 3 times before I left for work. They also interviewed what sounded like a 15 year old kid that was in the mall next to the theater. The kid was giving a first hand account like he was in the theater about how long the shooting lasted and stuff like that but, he was in the mall next door. How does that kid know anything. Just thought there coverage was pretty poor, it felt like WSFA put the story together. I guess I should stop expecting more from the national media.

Actually some of the attendees who were interviewed afterward said they thought this was part of the movie at first.

Its almost impossible to escape violence anymore. Truly awful.

What in the world was a 3 month old baby doing at a midnight showing of a 3 hour long action movie?

A 3 month old shouldn't be at a movie ANY time of the day.

Well, I missed that but, I still don't understand why anyone would think that. I've never been to a movie were they had actors come out during the movie to perform a scene. I guess the in the moment you're kind of in disbelief about what is going on. I still don't like Matt Lauer.

I wonder if this is going to cause theaters to stop allowing geeks to dress up for these midnight showings. If I was a theater owner I'd never allow it again after this incident.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved. So very sad.

Just another reason I don't go to the movies and breathe all y'alls nasty germs flying off your greasy popcorn fingers.

Truly horrific. Prayers for the victims and their families and friends. I can't imagine...

Very sad news.

Very sad. This world is very broken.
