Batman US cinema shooting: Fourteen dead in Denver (at start of Ramadan)
BBC ^ | 7/20/12 | BBC

Posted on 07/20/2012 5:26:42 AM PDT by jimbo123

At least 14 people have been killed in a shooting at a Batman film premiere in the US city of Denver, police say.

About 50 people have been injured in the incident at the cinema complex in the suburb of Aurora.

Witnesses say a gunman wearing a gas mask opened fire during a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises.

A man was arrested in a car park nearby in possession of a rifle and hand-gun. He told police that explosives were stored at his home.

Police chief Dan Oates told reporters that an apartment block in the north of Aurora had been evacuated as a consequence of that information.

More weapons may have been left in the cinema, he said.

Too early to make any assessments on terrorist attack or gang related. Truth be told it was a Dark Night.

Figures I have to come to FR and get a report from a British source about what has happened in the town I live. Oddly enough, I did hear gunshots about 9:30 p.m. Thursday night, but we are not near the movie theater. After the shots, my neighbor and I talked on our back porches about how we need to move out of Aurora.

Are you near the theater? Have you heard where he lived and do you know the apartments?

So not helpful. India-Indian or American-Indian? If it fits the narrative, I’m sure NBC will try to make him a white Indian like George Zimmerman was magically transformed into a white hispanic.

Need to clarify. Your post was very helpful. The news reporter’s lack of specificity was so not helpful.

We are about two miles away from that theater and these shots were close. It was the same kind of shots I heard in the early morning hours following Independence Day. What was the name of the apartment complex? I missed that in the story.

Doubt it’s “American Indian” bc that term is way out of fashion. Now, they’re called “Native American.”

I often hear the obtuse: “Native American Indian.”

I have no idea whether this murderer was homegrown or foreign, but as I have said in the past on FR, they are letting in a lot of third worlders into the U.S. (the majority being illegals), but many from all over the world and a noticeable portion of them are coming to North Aurora. I’m seeing more and more Muslims in the mix too.

I misunderstood your post. You were asking me if I heard the name of the complex. Sorry.

But the report is from a British source. In the UK, an Indian (from India) would probably be called an “Asian”.

They have very few American Indians in the UK, so they don’t have to worry about offending them, but they have boatloads of Muslims, and when you offend Muslims, people die.
