Breaking news right now. Currently being reported that 14 are dead and 50 are wounded. Guy was supposedly wearing a gas mask, body armor, and threw tear gas. Crazy! Don't know what to think.

Police scanners are up and news channels are reporting including in local Colorado: 9NEWS Webcasts | Denver | Colorado's Online News Leader | 9NEWS.com

i saw a movie maybe more than 3 months ago, crappy low production netflix, about some guy who was smart enough to get himself armor before going on a rampage shooting. Crazy stuff, shooters are getting smarter,messed up, especially to overlook or not care about kids,man i hope this guys sentence does him good.

They have the death penalty in CO?


local news just said he possibly has a bomb still set up in the theater... But they also are saying 15 dead while google still says 14.

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww. People that do this kind of stuff need to be torchered.

In regards to ^...

What happened in Colorado is obviously a terrible tragedy, but who the hell brings a 3 month old to a midnight premier of ANY movie, let alone an action movie like Batman. Not saying I'm the perfect parent, but that is just irresponsible parenting. There was also a 6 year old. That is still too young for a midnight showing.

Forget "inoccent until proven guilty", if I was an officer on the scene I'd just say my finger twitched and shot that asshole in the head so the people who he injured and the family members of the ones he killed could've watched.

Shit like this is EXACTLY why I have my concealed carry. Never know when and where, and it's better to have it and never use it than NOT have it and NEED it.

blksylv

maybe he missed out on getting a ticket and that pushed him over the edge

The fact that he didn't kill himself afterwards is kinda puzzling to me. I'm interested to find out more about this guy. Time to bring back public hangings...

jesse_s13

Thats why im gonna get one. He also had a vest so that could have been a nast y brawl.

Sad event.

I don't care what people think, I agree with Exitspeed 100%. What kind of selfish parent brings an infant to the midnight showing of anything?!? What is up with parents these days?!? Not saying any of them deserved this in any way whatsoever but the thought of someone being more worried about seeing a movie than their child getting enough sleep is just plain ridiculous.

You know, sadly I can see that being the motive for some fucked up individual to pull this kind of shit.

this is purely disgusting, I wonder if he will bring some tie in to the Joker as he used the Batman premier as his stage. I can't even begin to think what the families are going through...

vr4gasmtt

This has got to be organized crime for gun control.

Theres got to be something much worse than the death penalty, thats just too easy nowadays. Wouldn't really be punishment in my eyes.

Daniel.

So you're saying the Illuminati are trying manipulate society into enacting tougher policies on gun control?

Shit is sooo jacked up. Still taking head count of friends that were there.
People ask why you would take your kids to a midnight showing. Well because its SUMMER, so no school. Its batman, which would be a good movie.Also, I bet a lot of the people that bought their kids were young parents, so it was the only option they had. Fuck you judgmental fucks. There's always one asshole on a soapbox about something other than the issue.
What gets me is: I go to that theater a LOT. Was gonna go last night but we figured it'd be too packed. Usually there is a TON of police officers INSIDE the theater on premier night. I mean I literally counted 15 cops at the last premier I went to there.
Also, the mall it happened by is ghetto. I mean like big city ghetto. You have to be 18 or over to be in there after 4 p.m. without an adult. Lots of dumb-ass "chicken mcnugget" thugs in there. It reminds me of South East D.C., which is sad.
Prayers go out to the victims and family.
I think they should burn the guy alive, or put him in gen-pop and let them have at him.
Weird coincidence is: here in Colorado we house some of the nations MOST DANGEROUS criminals. We even have some from Guantanamo bay, and various other low lives....

Public hangings? Snapping someones neck is too quick and painless, there's no time to let him suffer that way, and he deserves that at least since he inflicted the same to so many innocent people. I have a better idea, shoot him in his left leg, then wait five minutes, then shoot him in the other leg, wait five more minutes, then move to the arms, then shoulders. Don't end it quickly, let him suffer as long as possible.

DO IT! Then be sure you know the law inside and out so you have your ass covered. Most states have laws stating that even WITH a concealment permit you are not allowed to conceal in places of general assembly. That usually covers parades, protest events, churchs, etc, so it wouldn't be a stretch for them to deem a movie theater a place of general assembly since there are so many people there. Of course had there been someone in that theater with a weapon it would've taken some balls to go up against that.In that instance only a liberal whack job would try to get you on charges of concealing in a place of general assembly, I would love to see them try to rake the coals over someone who put their life on the line to protect a group of 30-40 inoccent strangers.

3-D technology just got real!

Daniel.

All of your joking aside though, who the fuck brings a 3 month old to a midnight movie premier?

If he was armored up, better hope you're carrying an FN 5.7 or something.

Granted you can always try to get him in the head, but it sounds like he was laying a lot of fire down and that might be easier said than done.

No words. This is so awful...Why would someone do something like this? What would motivate you to do something this horrible to a group of innocent people who just wanted to have a good time?

And reading some of the reports from people there was frighting...

Quote:

Paul Otermat crawled out of the cinema with his girlfriend.

"Me and my girlfriend were sitting on the left-hand side of the entrance and front right was an emergency exit and a man walked through there.

"He came in wearing a black jacket. I thought it was some sort of publicity stunt for a second but then he threw tear gas over the crowd directly behind where we were. Then he started firing shots to the crowd.

"My girlfriend and I ducked down and immediately dragged ourselves out of the theatre to a point where we were sure we were out.

"We ran through the lobby and heard more shots and we ran out into he parking lot and drove off. By the time we were leaving the cops were already on the scene, like six cops before we got completely out, just flying in.

"It was just really like, as traumatic as it was it was incredibly weird. There were children at that show. It was really crazy.

"He just walked in pretty casually, threw the tear gas, then he just started firing. After the first shot lit up the room we dived to the floor. We waited until there was a lull in the firing and crawled our way out of there.

"I thought it was a shotgun at first, others through it was a rifle, we really don’t know. All we saw was the flash of light and the guy walking.

"We only saw the one guy. As soon as the shots started, we didn’t stick around. Our people just dropped to the floor and a lot of people made a mad dash to the exit."

Quote:

Alex Molano told Denver's 9 News how he saw a police officer carrying a little girl who wasn't moving.

"I don’t want to upset anyone by anything I say but I don’t think anyone should be kept in the dark by what happened. I spoke to a young woman who was in theatre Nine and what she described sounded like madness.

"She described how a man six feet tall kicked through the door wearing a riot helmet and a bullet proof vest and he was completely covered in black and wearing goggles.

"She saw he had a shotgun and her and her boyfriend dropped to the floor and started to crawl to get away. They got up and went through the emergency exit, she turned around and saw the man slowly making his way up the stairs and just firing at people, just picking random people.

"I saw four, maybe five people wounded who were limping and slightly bloody. I saw a girl covered in blood but didn’t have any wounds on here. It made me think the worst.

"I honestly don’t know whose little girl it was, but a cop came walking through the front door holding a little girl in his arms and she wasn’t moving.

"I’d heard another witness in my theatre, she was on the phone and the really messed up part for me was that she said she saw bullet holes in the little girl’s back.

"I honestly can’t think of any person who would intentionally hurt a little girl so it makes me think she got caught in the crossfire."

Quote:

James Cameron saw a mother holding a little girl who had been shot in the back.

"By the sound of it, it sounded like there could have been three or four people in the shooting. There were definitely multiple calibres going off.

"There was a child struck, a little baby girl was struck in her back and that was something that’s going to stay with me for the rest of my life. You can never prepare yourself for seeing a mother holding her child. That’s the one thing that sticks in my mind.

"I’m outside the hospital now, people are walking in here and the waiting room is full. It’s crazy, I’m still feeling the effects of that gas. It’s horrible, it’s like something out of a sci-fi movie.

"It was crazy; it was like law enforcement just fell out of the sky. One minute I’m helping my friend, the next I’m yelling for help and then there was police everywhere, they responded unbelievably."

sad how people went out to have a good time, and this happens.

hope this guy gets what he deserves.

Kouki_monstr

This is so pathetic. I'm not sure what I heard is true, but they are saying the guys parents live in San Diego Ca, and he lived in riverside Ca and only stayed in CO for a year.

One of my brothers friends was shot, and another in the hospital. My brother would have been there if he didn't have work today at 6am. Thank
You God. I don't even know what to say other then I hope this fucker rots in hell.

And your right about the mall that is by the theater. Bunch of low life's hang out is what it is.

True. However if he went to the extent to bring a riot helmet, gas mask, and goggles you know he was well prepared. Taking that into account I would bet he had hearing protection on as well, I'm assuming of course. IF that was the case, the most he would hear would be muffled screams between gun shots which MIGHT make it easier to get a good shot off before he knew what was going on.

It would've been hell to pull off if you wanted to turn the tides on him, esp when you're settling in to see a movie you've been excited to see for a while, you're girlfriend or wife is beside you, it's almost the end of a work week and you're ready to just stop thinking and enjoy a movie, BAM out of no where shit hits the fan.
