This just came in on my computer from dispatch. Ran back to the station to watch the news. I will post details. So far...
There was a shooting at an Aurora, Colorado theater around 12:30 mountain time. During the Batman premier, 1 gunman in bullet proof vest and gas mask opened fire with, judging from what witnesses are describing, where an AR-15 and 2 handguns. Tear gas was also used. Right now there are
at least 13 dead and 50 wounded. Among the dead are multiple children and an infant. I can only expect the death toll to rise.
The suspect is in custody.
- Now there are reports of one device going off in one of the suspects vehicles. No one hurt. Another device was found in the second suspects vehicle.
-infant shot in the head at nearly point blank
-Could still be explosives left.
Keep in mind this is less than 20 miles away from Columbine. Imagine the memories coming back to the people in that area.
