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.

I suspect Drudge will have something up in about 5 or 10 mins.

With a siren.

To show how he's actually the one covering all of this first, you see.

Yeah, i don’t follow drudge, but i generally assumed they were a 24/7 operation. Interesting.

Doesn’t’ specify. But it seems when the call came in the police were told to look for an Indian male.

I hate to say it but Drudge has gone soft.

Is he still a one man band? Same if he is, he needs a staff 24/7.

BTW listening live to Aurora PD on the web....

Sounds like the sprinklers went off in the theater...

Well, this will certainly knock some recent political topics out of the headlines.

And no matter what happens, it will turn out badly for us. If it was a left wing nut, then we need more gun laws and Obama becomes the national healer. If it is a right wing nut, then Rush is to blame, we need more gun laws and Obama becomes the national healer.

Sometimes - but with the Virginia Tech shooting, it took ages for them to own up to it - that it was a Korean American.

“14 dead, at least 50 injured.”

Good summary at the link...”fog of war” is starting to clear...reported “explosive device” was tear gas canister(s)?, one gunman?

Virginia Tech shooting - Yup, it was a Korean American using democrat talking points in the youtube video he’d made before the shooting. (actually he may have been Korean 100%. I forgot his actual status)

“If it was a left wing nut, then we need more gun laws and Obama becomes the national healer. If it is a right wing nut, then Rush is to blame, we need more gun laws and Obama becomes the national healer.”

One minor correction. The leftist, athiest, dope-smoking nut who shot Giffords was magically transformed into a right-wing follower of Sarah Palin.

Thats exactly my point, if it’s a foreigner, they are very slow to report that fact.

Dressed in black and looking like body armor might not be unusual at a Batman premiere.

We won’t find out the identity of the killer until the Shamwow administration creates a fabricated Facebook page filled with links to Rush, Beck, Palin, Going Galt, NRA, TEA party, etc... they should have it finished shortly.
