    Some sources are claiming at least 10 fatalities so far and as many as 19 injured and may rise. All this at a movie theater that was showing "The Dark Night Rises"

    It is believed that RCA (Tear Gas) was used inside the theater. Police officers were not waiting for ambulances, instead transporting victims using their own units. This story is still developing having happened only hours ago. One suspect is in custody.

    In response to the police officers transporting victims...prolly saved their lives. There was several papers from Philly stating that paddy wagons with a reeves stretcher saves more lives that a fully equipped medic unit @ times with penentrating trauma. As long as the officers stop bleeding, I don't care either way. News also saying that he may have had I.E.D.'s with him.

    Rest in peace to the dead.

    Well, it took bloomburg (not capitalized intentionally) less than 12 hours to get his gun control on because of this.

    I wonder how many more murders will happen when the law abiding citizens can't arm themselves legally? I don't think I need to hear anything from either candidate.

    While we're at it, we should ban hoodies too - right? Right...

    My kids went the premier here in California. First thing that came to mind was On Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs By LTC (RET) Dave Grossman . Unfortunately, this can happen anywhere. My condolences to those involved.

    Is the the one who coined the quote about "hunting wolves Vs. building a stronger pin" in order to protect the flock?

    Good read.

    Although there are more sheep out there with an identity crisis who think they are sheepdogs then there are actual sheepdogs.

    The suspect currently in custody apparently had his apartment booby trapped. They're still in the process of neutralizing his crap.

    The shooter went columbine for whatever reason. But, if you really want to know why, just check with any anti gun nazi and I'm sure they'll set you straight......[IMG] (Hey, I'm sure we all saw it coming)

    This scenario had to suck (And I mean really suck bad) for those civilians only exposed to the gas in a confined area and never have been exposed to it before. Anyone will tell you how claustrophobic things can get in an open area, let alone an enclosed theater.

    I'm sure we'll learn more about this James Holmes character as the investigation progresses.

    May those who passed rest in peace and their families be given strength to get through it all. And may the wounded pull through and heal.

    Century 16 is a terrible movie theater to go to regardless of the time of day. There have been car break-ins during daylight hours, fights in front of the building as well as inside a few of the theaters, and a stabbing in the past. This is one of the only theaters I have been to in Colorado that has a constant police presence from the moment the doors open until they close.

    dknob: It was actually the Toronto food court last month

    Interesting though that this guy wasn't part of a gang. He was a PhD student in neuroscience.

    Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of theaters in that part of town that show fresh releases. The closest alternative to that theater is Northfield at Stapleton or the UA Colorado Center Stadium next to Dave and Busters, both 30 mins or so across town by interstate.
