Keep us posted hon.

MSN saying LE used cars to transport wounded ... They didn't want to wait for ambulances.

CNN saying possibly bombs went off.....bomb squad at the scene.

They are saying at least 50 people injured. This is so shocking! The suspect said he had explosives in his apartment building. It has been evacuated.

The mall this happened at has always had a bad rep, but this surpasses anything I could have imagined.

OMG!

14 dead in shooting at Batman premiere in Denver

Quote:
A masked gunman shot dead 14 people and wounded many others at a showing of new Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises at a movie theatre in the U.S. city of Denver, police said Friday.

Local radio station KOA said a figure in a gas mask had opened fire at the showing in a mall in the suburb of Aurora and set off a smoke or tear gas bomb. It said initial police estimates were of 30 to 40 injured.

Dozens of police were at the scene, CNN footage showed.

KOA said authorities were evacuating the area while they checked if there was an exploding device there.

CNN quoted one witness as saying he saw a “guy slowly making his way up the stairs and firing, picking random people”.

It said local hospitals were alerted to a “mass casualty incident”.

SpriteGirl, I am praying for your friends to be safe. This is terrible, another senseless manmade tragedy. My daughter is off to the premiere today, I have made Batman cakes for her and her friends, she is so excited, what type of idiot would want to spoil it?

School being out for the summer, I'm not surprised children were there. This is so sad.

Why? Why? Why?
Maybe we'll hear a reason soon, after
LE holds their next presser. No reason will justify this

I wonder how this guy got in the theater. He must have had one heck of a weapon. I don't know anything about guns but one would think with so many casualties, it wasn't a handgun that can easily be hidden. Assault rifle?
