User blog:Regular Guy/Regular Thoughts 6:12 Killed at Dark Knight Rises Screening

Well, this is the start of season two of my REGULAR THOUGHTS. (Forgive me if any Admins would rather not have this news on the wiki)

12 Killed at Dark Knight Rises Screening
A gunman, reportedly masked and dressed in body armor, opened fire today at an early morning screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado, killing 12 people and wounding roughly 38 (early reports of 14 dead were revised by police).

There were several children were among the victims, including a 9-year-old girl. Police have the suspect in custody. The gunman is identified as James Holmes, 24, of Aurora.

Associated Press reports that the gunman "stood at the front of the theater and fired into the crowd about 12:30 a.m. MDT at a multiplex theater in a mall in Aurora. 'Witnesses tell us he released some sort of canister. They heard a hissing sound and some gas emerged and the gunman opened fire,"Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said at a news conference." 10 victims are said to have died at the theater and four at hospitals. The youngest victim is said to be 6-years-old being treated at Children's Hospital Colorado, where 10 victims were taken. Two Navy personnel and two Air Force reservists were among the wounded, according to CNN.

Warner Bros. issued this statement on the tragedy: "Warner Bros. is deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident. We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time." The studio has also canceled the film's Paris premiere.

This event will probably change alot of people's minds about going to the movies from now on and movie theaters are sure to step up security. :/ Such a shame that people can't go to a movie for an hour or two and enjoy themselves.
