20 Hurt in Colo. Shooting at Dark Knight Movie
BOMB SQUAD ON THE SCENE IN AURORA
By Mary Papenfuss, Newser Staff
A least 20 people were injured early this morning in a shooting and a possible explosion at a movie theater in Colorado, NBC is reporting. The violence occurred at a Century 16 theater in an Aurora mall following a midnight showing of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises.
One suspect is in custody, and a police bomb squad is on the scene. Three local hospitals were alerted to prepare for a "mass casualty" incident involving at least 20 injured.
Three victims are reportedly in critical condition. The town has been hit with a spate of violence recently. Two people were shot dead in unrelated incidents over the weekend, according to the Denver Post.

"Jay Silverheels" Indian, or "Bollywood" Indian...? Doesn't matter. The msm will pull another Zimmerman and claim he's a White Indian.

“Jay Silverheels” Indian, or “Bollywood” Indian...?”
Please pose your question correctly. The proper words are:
Woo-woo Indian or Push Start?
To: I cannot think of a name
Okay. I needed a chuckle (however grim), given the story thus far. Thanks. ;)

Dressed in black and looking like body armor might not be unusual at a Batman premiere.
Yeah, and with a gas mask, he would look like this guy.

Fanatical OWSer theory (see first page of this thread) looking a whole lot more likely, now.

Did you see a news article recently (maybe this year, time perception changes so much as I age) about Aurora being one of the best cities to live in in the US? When I saw that, I was a bit shocked. If there is a crime related to “Denver,” it is almost always Aurora. The gangs are terrible.

Just heard via Steyn on Rush, the kid was a PhD in the neurosciences program... I wonder if he ever went to Stanford.
Could someone post the university when known?
