o—Up to 20 people have been injured in a shooting at a movie theater near Denver, police said.

Aurora, Colo. police said there are fatalities but they don't know how many. Police dispatchers said calls about the shooting started coming in about 12:30 a.m. local time Friday from a mall theater that was showing the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises."

Police said one person has been arrested, but no other details were available. Police spokeswoman Cassidee Carlson said "the scene is still very active and we have little information for release at this time."

Swedish Medical Center spokeswoman Nicole Williams said two of the injured have arrived at her hospital in critical condition, and the hospital has been told there could be several more.

You absolutely have to wonder if this doesn’t have something to do with Obama’s need to get the narrative off how devastating comments the other day-—those were already finishing off his campaign. Now, he’s presented with a perfect reverse “Fast and Furious”. Most other presidents, you wouldn’t even entertain the thought.

I’ve never been in a theater that had the exits locked. That would be a fire hazard.

They're not a fire hazard if they're locked on the outside. They are panic doors, openable from the inside by pushing on the bar, whether or not the lock is engaged. They are generally required by the fire code and you'd be searching a long, long time for a theater that did not have them.

How can you get movie times previous to upcoming?

It would seem this guy knew there was shooting in the beginning of the movie.

How did he know?

.....you’d be searching a long, long time for a theater that did not have them....

One of the first real indications to me of the gathering terrible storm in Iran was at a theater. In Bandar Shapur the Homani zealots chained the doors shut and burned the theater showing the sinful movie. The death toll was large

I remember a time when a Liberal was elected to clean up the image of Aurora(back int he 60’s) Seems gangs were embarrassing the politicians by their activity at public events. Aurora wanted wanted to be like Denver or SanFrancisco or ? _Yup they sure cleaned it up alright.We have sewn the wind and will reap the whirlwind. Reagan said it well enough — IF we ever stop being ONE NATION UNDER GOD —we will be a nation gone under.”Have our chosen leaders NOT divorced the State form the Founding principles of Religion and Morality once deemed necessary for good government and the happiness of mankind.Now we are told we must pursue the secular (sic.Godless) fantasies and act out like they do in Hollywood our sexual orientations and our power lust dementia.

I think there were a few advance screenings of this film; perhaps the shooter went to one the night before. Which means he was armed and equipped in advance, looking for the right opportunity.

Of course I was thinking of doors being conventionally locked. I’m aware of the type of doors you mentioned (locked from outside but not inside.).

I guess someone would have to be nearby to open the doors from the inside for firefighters in case of fire. Of course they always have their trusty axes.

Prayers up for the victims and their families, for the first responders, for the medical personnel, and for the parents of the shooter, who are totally innocent, despite the attempts of some posters to cast blame.

Sure it’s just a fluke.

Should be a huge protest at the UN when they take our 2nd Amendment rights away.
