At least 2 gunmen opened fire as new Batman movie opened ... one shooter in custody
Now reporting only one gunman involved - 14 people now confirmed dead
Sounds like a really well planned attack. Body armor, gasmasks and teargas. Plus maybe secondary devices in the parking lot, maybe to kill first responders.
No mention of gunmen’s names or ethnicity. Until further evidence is available, I’m going to go on the safe side and assume they’re “Amish.”
14 dead - 50 injured
1 year old toddler shot dead at point blank range. ****!
Usually best just to wait it out, no need to make guesses, we will know soon enough.
Scanner: “Blood. Back seats are full of biohazard material”.
Native American 1%
Asian American 5%
African American 30%
Hispanic American 38%
Anglo American 26%
Which says nothing at all about the usual theater audience, and certainly nothing about the shooter(s).
*ping*
What was it you were saying about July 20th??
You mean “Muslim?”
14 Killed, 50 wounded per DENVER POST
There are over 100 Hispanic gangs in the area ~ odds are this is neither an Amish drive-by nor something involving Jihadis.
a 20 yr old male shooter has been nabbed .....killer had 3 weapons a rifle 2 handguns wore bulletproof vest 343 am kdvr aurora, col. crowd control cops on the scene were already doing crowd control...when it happened ...there are 16 separate theaters in the movie theater complex....shooter used tear gas...14 dead 37 injured.....aurora top cop says 10 victims died at scene others died at the hospital....rounds pierced walls of adjacent theaters...
LONE gunman, 20’s, with bullet proof vest, per local News in custody, searching his apartment.
Would not surprise me, if that is the case, since I am just hearing about it now, it could be say “Mexican”. In other words, with the invasion of the illegals including those who belong to gangs.
You leave in CO by any chance?
Gang bangers usually target each other, irrespective who else might be around and it’s almost always sudden and unexpected.
This guy planned to murder innocents, for maximal casualties. It could be a loner-type, but the use of a car bomb suggests Jihadi.
The only thing that indicates, off-hand, a loner event is that the guy didn’t say, “Allahu Akhbar” before shooting, or at least it hasn’t been reported yet that happened.
I think that nurse is my cousin’s daughter in law.
One of Ricky's F&F crew?
This is a nice distraction away from the usurpers FRAUD!
“LONE gunman, 20’s, with bullet proof vest, per local News in custody, searching his apartment.”
That probably rules out a jihadist.

Sounds like some nut pissed off at the world for his own shortcomings. Maybe he had some connection to the theater.
Oh so you have family connections via cousins. Good to know.
When you posted about that there are up to 100 Hispanic gangs, right away, the issue of the unguarded southern boarder comes to mine and the violence going on in Mexico.
Sick, sick, sick. . .the 'one' who did not have a friend to see this movie with?
Or someone who sees 'Batman' as an American icon; and/or; a 'hate Hollywood' MO? (Then there is the thought of a large scale 'Trayvon Think'.) Pathetic, as well; that one's mind, can even ponder the 'political'.
Irrespective of details; this is 'mind reeling' and altogether, heart breaking. Prayers up, for each and all; who share this suffering. Prayers for us all and our Country.
Shopping centers have been on the 'watch'/warn. . .
Sad 'state of affairs', when so many possibilities. . .

Correction: You “live” in CO by any chance?
Not surprising, the state that I am from, early this summer in the capital city, there was a lot of shootings.
(In Atlanta; and elsewhere, no doubt; they were sending long-time, employed; honest workers, Fathers, Mothers, sons; 'home'. . .while they totally ignored the illegals on Buford Highway - with gang tatoos. Why not start first, with the threats; and worry about the 'problems' later? But of course; that is another issue per this thread.)
Or; maybe not; per your posting. . .
Will we?
This oneis sounds like a suburban white guy on Adderal, Ritalin, and Effexor.
Could still be a raghead. Maybe he realized that he will never get the chair so he figured a trial will be a soapbox to air his whacked out beliefs.
You know how these people love to make a statement.

Is this the next level of 2nd Amendment scourge?
Batman movie being shown in three of the theaters in the multiplex simultaneously.
Incident occurred in theater No. 9.
Incident started during an action sequence.
Three weapons involved, one possibly stashed beforehand by gunman. Pistol, long gun, and one other weapon.
Some type of gas released, then gunman with a gas mask and body armor opened fire, from front of theater. People were choking on gas, pandemonium as people were realizing what was really happening.
Police were on scene to provide crowd control becasue of heavy crowds for midnight showing of Batman movie at Century 15 theaters in Aurora, CO.
Police took down suspect at his vehicle. Suspect is 24 years old, from north Aurora. Car has Tenn. license plates.
Suspect said he had an incendiary device in his car—that was recovered. His apartment now being searched and people nearby evacuated for their safety.
14 dead, 50 injured/wounded.
Three meedical centers involved in treating victims, foremost being Swedish Medical Center in Aurora.
No I! I'm going with "Mormons" after all, 155 years ago, a few of them were involved in the "Mountain Meadows Massacre" as we keep getting reminded by the handful of Hate Mitt and Mormon Freeps here.
No, couldn't be. Just heard someone from NYT's - or other Lib 'think tank' - offering that the violence in Mexico; was not at all likely to move into our country. . .
Whatever; whomever; this is a shock wave. First, of course; is the tragedy of it all.
And since this would be a change...I would assume it is something else...like gangs or a lone nut job since so far in our history...this has been what it turned out to be...again...Ft Hood being the exception and his case was unique.
BTW—Ramadan starts July 20—TODAY—in the MidEast—tomorrow, July 21st in North America.
I hope the Amish are not involved.
Got to remember that, that is the OPINION of the NYT.
Had been told by another poster that there are up to 100 Hispanic gangs in the area.
Overall, a tragic situation.
Police on scene when it happened and still 14 killed? Did they stay out of the theater until the all-clear sign?
Once again 2nd amendment unconstitutional infringement allows 14 more people to be assassinated like fish in a barrel. We live in scary times; A lot of lunatics out there, a lot of religion of peace adherents, and the government insists we go out there armed only with spit.
Yes, I’m sure the name was Ezekiel Yoder
or something like that.
I’m sure of it.
