Breaking News: Over 20 shot at Colorado movie theater

[TXARGUY]

Official discussion thread of Colorado movie theater

I'm driving so I cannot provide a news link but they are reporting a shooter at a Aurora, Co movie theater during a midnight viewing of the new Batman movie. By the time you guys wake up it will be all over the news I'm sure.

That's all the details I have right now as the news is just now breaking.

 

[TXARGUY]

Now they are reporting at least 10 dead. Possibly two shooters with one possibly in custody. Shooter(s) used tear gas and wore body armor and gas masks. Details are still sketchy because the news is still just breaking.

Shit that's insane

 

[Bithabus]

14 dead so far.

 

[Jakashh]

What news said that?^^

 

[TXARGUY]

The Aurora PD just confirmed Bithabus' number. 14 dead and 50+ wounded.

I'm hearing it on 1510AM out of Okc.

 

[TXARGUY]

Now it looks like the report of a second gunman were just a rumor. One suspect was found in a car in the parking lot with the rifle, handguns and the gasmask. That suspect is now in custody.

 

[Jakashh]

Why does bad shit keep happening to Colorado? I feel bad for the victims and peeps that had to witness this. 14 people didn't get to watch the movie and lost their lives, he began firing 15 minutes in. Some people are fucking sick. I hope that guy gets a horrible execution.

 

[TXARGUY]

At least they got the shooter this time before he could kill himself. Before they reported the gas mask I was thinking gang violence but I'm thinking its going to end up being a complete nutjob like the Arizona shooter.

 

[Jakashh]

Though its one of my last concerns at the moment, I can't imagine how the Brady campaign will react to this.

 

[Tejano Scott]

O no, I'm gonna look this up now

This is such a sad event!

I hate to think what I'm thinking much less post for the world to find & possibly use against me later. I'm usually not a conspiracy theorist but the timing on this shooting is extraordinary and I don't have any faith left in my government. Could this have been an orchestrated event? Doesn't this type of stuff fall right into the hands of the disarmament group? Why now with the UN treaty in the works? Just rambling thoughts nothing else.
I'm so hurt and sorry for this event and for the families that have to deal with this. I can't imagine their pain.

 

[Tejano Scott]

Wow, stunned that people do this. I hope no NFA weapons were used. Only a matter of time before we start hearing that.

Though its one of my last concerns at the moment, I can't imagine how the Brady campaign will react to this.

When are they gonna get that the "ban gun" laws only apply to the good guys. The bad guys won't abide by them anyway. Man, we need to fight to keep our right to bear arms!

 

[Rangel]

Terrible.

 

[Texasgordo]

Sad for the innocent people who were killed and injured.

 

[TXARGUY]

Wow, stunned that people do this. I hope no NFA weapons were used. Only a matter of time before we start hearing that.

Agreed, however the witnesses I've heard interviewed have described the gunfire as having a more even cadence than auto. No one has described auto or suppressors yet.

They just revised the death toll down from 14 to 12 which is the best news I've heard all morning.

This is really sad news. Thoughts and prayers with victims and families.
There is a timeline on reddit with a lot of information for anyone looking for more: Comprehensive timeline: Aurora Massacre : news

Edit: Also, thanks TXARGUY for keeping us updated as well.

Dang. I was in Araura yesterday. Could have been much worse if the cops wernt already there. Dude had on a bullet proof vest too. Serious nut job. I wonder why the news repoerts aren't indicating the shooters ethnicity and they're saying this massacre does not have links to islamic terorism.

Update. A "mr holmes" is the shooters name. Trajic.
