White House: ‘No apparent’ ties between Colorado shooting and terrorism

The White House said Friday that it had no evidence of ties between the tragic mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, and organized terrorism.

"This is a local law enforcement investigation at this point, and what we can say is that we do not believe at this point that there is an apparent nexus to terrorism," press secretary Jay Carney told reporters.

Obama, who was cutting short a campaign swing through Florida in response to the shooting, received his first briefing on the incident from Homeland Security Advisor John Brennan at 5:26 a.m. A few hours later, he heard from FBI Director Bob Mueller, White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew, and Brennan.

"The president was told that, at approximately 12:30 am mountain time, or 2:30 am eastern time, a male suspect entered a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, and opened fire on people watching the Midnight premiere of the movie the Dark Knight Rises," said Carney.

The police were of NO HELP in this situation, and the gunman surrendered after he did what he wanted.

The ONLY thing that could have stopped this would have been armed citizens.

Put that in your pipe, Herr Bloomberg.

Great. Mention the word “muslim” and half those on the right go for TSA at the mall, mention “gun control” and half the left is on board with TSA at the mall.

What a country.

I disagree, you Kenyan, Marxist, Obamahole, This was organized terrorism. It was organized by you and your Socialist counterparts. It's called ‘Occupy’ and it's the invention of you freedom-hating enemies that have infiltrated our government at the highest levels. May you and your red friends rot in Hades for all of eternity. Take your hope and change To Man's Country and shove it up your pleasure center.

That is an automatic reflex pronouncement made by Republican and Democrat presidents alike. It has no relationship with facts on the round except as events trigger such instant pronouncements. The announcement would have been the same were it ̉ arabs yelling Allahu Akbar.
