A young couple who'd recently moved from New Mexico and were attending the Aurora, Colo., midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" with their children said they had planned to sit in the front row by the exit in which a gunman entered and allegedly killed at least 12 people.
"Where the gunman came in, we were going to sit right there," Jamie Rohrs, 25, told ABC News today. "God was definitely with us and watching over us."
Rohrs said that before the movie started, he and his fiancee, Patricia Legarreta, also 25, opted for seats in the second-floor balcony. Rohrs held their 4-month-old son, Ethan, while Legarreta sat next to her 4-year-old daughter, Azeria, who was asleep with her head in her mother's lap.
Fifteen minutes into the movie, Legarreta said, someone walked into the theater from the exit and threw something. Police now allege that James Holmes, 24, burst into the movie house and started shooting patrons, killing at least 12 and injuring at least 50.

"I'm just disoriented after I put him down," Rohrs said. "I'm just waiting for me to hit the ground and fall down dead. You could see the gunfire."
He said he wondered where Ethan was but realized he could not go back to get him. Rohrs finally jumped over the balcony and ended up outside.
"My son's still in there," he told ABC News. "My girlfriend is still in there. I'm out here. Who leaves their child there?"
He said Legarreta called him from another phone and he drove back to the theater. They were eventually taken to the hospital and released.
In an interview with ABC News, Legaretta said she just ran as fast as she could with the baby and her daughter when the gunshots stopped.

My God, the sperm donor ran off and left two babies behind....only after he was safe did he “think” about his children..
- - - - - -
Not only RAN off, but DROVE off. She had to call him to drive back and pick them up, while she was bleeding from a gunshot wound.
They both need to be slapped. Him for being who he is and her to knock some sense into her.
Sweet little baby. Stoooopid parents.
I’ve helped someone out before. You know little stuff like pick something up for them or whatever. If someone is with me they usually smile or say that was nice of you.
Once in awhile I get someone who says,”why’d you do that?”
What did you mean by that? I just don't think it's probably a great film for toddlers and young kids.
What'd you expect? His (lack of) commitment to her has been evident for quite some time now...they have a 4-month old son, which means they've been sleeping together for over a year now...and still no wedding ring on her finger...
He's been running solo for quite some time...and it's the spirit of the age for way too many single women to cater to all that...
“God was definitely with us and watching over us.”

Well, then, how about you listen to God’s rules? You are supposed to marry the woman before you live with her and make babies, moron.
What in the world are children doing at a midnight movie? These little ones should be sleeping in their beds at such an hour.
She is supposed to save him.
There are no male heroes these days.
Someone needs to get that baby boy away from that man and the mother before he grows up to be just like his “dad.” I put dad in quotes because he is obviously not behaving like a real father or dad. Strangers did more for the baby, mom and sister than that man.
That he has the nerve to boast about his actions to the media is mind boggling. There are no words for that sperm donor. No words at all.
thank you!!!
GET A SITTER. It’s rated R for a reason. Asshats.
What the hell ... x2?
What the Hell #1: What kind of idiots take small children to a movie like this at that time of night?
What the Hell #2: The father ran away like a little girl? Hope she kicks this loser to the curb ASAP.
The chick looks a little, er,.....slow in the noggin, if you know what I mean. Quite a pair. The future of America.
*SIGH*
I wonder if he stopped off for Jujyfruit.
Well, then, how about you listen to God’s rules? You are supposed to marry the woman before you live with her and make babies, moro

Right before Mr. R and I got married, I ran into a girl we went to High School with. I told her I was getting married in a few weeks and to whom and she asked “How many kids do you guys have?” She was shocked when I said “none” and asked “Why are you getting married then?”.
She also couldn’t grasp that we didn’t live together either (he moved in after we got back from our honeymoon).
I repeat: What sort of parent would subject their young children to a situation that could have detrimental effects on their nervous systems?! Selfish parents, who are thinking only of themselves.
With two kids they've done plenty of things already. Why not get married, raise the children and let them sleep in their own beds at midnight.
“My son’s still in there,” he told ABC News. “My girlfriend is still in there. I’m out here. Who leaves their child there?”
Someone who is no kind of man at all.
Really?!
She took her 4 month-old baby to a midnight movie showing, of Batman! I wonder what she gave the child to make it sleep through 130 dBs?
Aside from being potentially harmful to her child, it was incredibly rude to the other, adult patrons. I can't believe the theater let her bring her in.
But she just HAD to hit that first showing! What a selfish idiot.
OMG! Did you just see CBS news? They edited his interview and claimed he had gotten his family out himself. LIARS!!! How in blazes can there be so many liars in the msm where no one among them can tell the truth about anything?
I am about the furthest thing from a badass you will ever find on this Earth. But this douchebag makes me look like Chuck Freaking Norris.
Fathers a kid with her, shacks up with her, drags small children to a midnight showing of a loud, gory R-rated movie, and then runs like hell instead of trying to defend her and the kids. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Permanent Adolescent, the poster child of the Obama voting bloc.
