At least 14 people were killed early Friday when at least one gunman opened fire at a midnight screening of the summer blockbuster "The Dark Knight Rises" near Denver, authorities and witnesses said.
Aurora police chief Dan Oates told reporters that 10 people died at the scene and four others died after being taken to local hospitals. At least 50 other people were injured, Oates said.

Hopefully they find the guy(s) that did this, if the suspect they grabbed isn't one of the shooters.

Witnesses told reporters that gunfire erupted during a shootout scene in the film.
Brenda Stuart, of 850 KOA radio, told Sky News that "a lot of people thought the gunshots were part of the movie."

Poor people got the best 3D experience they ever had :/

I've heard of too many shootings as of late, my city has had its own problems but shooting in a movie screening is especially heinous. We'll see what happens after this..

Someone who was there describes there experience: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/co..._the_midnight/

Apparently the op was deleted it said

Boyfriend and I have evacuated safe and sound. The shooting began during a gunfight scene in the movie, and at first, we thought it was special effects when smoke rose up. When shots happened again and people began to run, we thought something was up. A guy ran in and shouted there was a gunman in the building, and the alarms to emergency evacuate started to go off.
I now know what tear gas feels like. I've never had to 'get down' with a police officer screaming at us. This is the most ****ed up night of my short life. I need an army of kitten photos stat.

[Edit] Thank you for the well wishes everyone. Heart is still racing, especially reading up on it still. Apparently, not long after we evacuated the premises, an explosion went off, and the death toll has risen to 12, with 20 more injured: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/36...o-shooting.htm
[Edit 2] This blew up really quickly. While this is not the way that I would have liked to make it to the front page, I'm happy that reddit has reacted in such a way to keep everyone, including myself, up to date. I'm trying to read all comments, so if I accidentally skip over yours, in advance, I apologize.

Very sad.

[Cold Kitten]

They have the shooter in custody, apparently. That's what I read on my local news site, anyway.

[supermousie]

That's completely ****ed up. 14 dead. I want to know this guy's motives.
Poor moviegoers.

edit: P.S. I read the thread title and totally thought it was about some cool behind the scenes stuff/pics of the movie being shot by camera.

Saw this on reddit first, but it wasn't a news article, but rather a woman who was at the shooting and barely managed to escape...damn.

[bob bob]

Now not even movie theatres are safe !_!

[dore]

**** everybody

[Mike Weedmark]

I find these situations completely boring unless information about the killer's motive is revealed. Not happy people are dead but just... who ****ing cares if I'm not getting any real info to react to.

[Choofers]

Apparently, there was a post on 9gag that mentioned this shooting, and people were telling him to do it.

[colt.45]

EDIT: apparently fake info ;=; Sorry about that.

[~Zeta~]

what


only thing I can think of.

[A2P]

the 9gag story is fake

also the username on the picture is "9gagftw" as opposed to jamesholmes154. as much as 9gag is an annoying site, you cant believe everything on a whim, guys.

[Choofers]

That video colt posted had a bunch of people talking about 9gag, so I assumed rofl

[Coolboyrulez0]

Damn, that's pretty low.
Innocent people shot at a premiere -- As mentioned earlier, would love to hear his motive(s)... Get inside his mind to understand what propelled him to do this.

[Sweet_Feet]

Ridiculous. Still having a hard time believing this happened.

[welsh_girl]

How sad that you can't even go to see a damn film without some nut job shooting you.

Had a few friends up in that theater. Two of them I still havent been able to get ahold of by any form of communication. My sister was suppost to be there last night, but her plans fell through due to just poor planning. I cant ****ing sleep. First the fires, then the floods, now this shit. ****.
