reported 20 taken to the hospital

police scanner: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?feedId=43

quote:

At least 20 people were hurt following a shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., police said Friday.

The first showings sold out quickly for the much-anticipated summer blockbuster "The Dark Knight Rises." The third and final batman installment may break opening weekend records. NBC's Kristen Dahlgren reports.
The incident occurred at a cinema showing "The Dark Knight Rises".
Police said that one suspect was in custody. However, it was unclear whether other suspects were involved.

Was about to make a thread on this.

There's a report of two gunmen opening fire on a crowded theater for a midnight showing of Dark Knight Rises. Police Radio saying over 20 sent to hospitals. Unconfirmed reports of at least 10 dead.

Police Radio: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?feedId=43

Also unconfirmed reports of explosions and use of tear gas by the gunmen. Not a lot known at this time, but it looks bad.

Gunmen are said to still be on the loose.

Two posts from a Aurora news facebook page.

· Saba Ahmed It was a smoke bomb used to cover up the gunshots! They shot in 2 different rooms in the century 16 theater(both batman premieres).

· Richard Bobby Tran My friends were there. From From what I heard, someone threw tear gas and started shooting inside the theatre. Somewhere around 10 people got hit. The perpetrator was not caught though...

Aw christ. Nah, when I saw "police said Friday" I thought it meant last Friday and it was just really late reporting. It's late here and I forgot it's changed to Friday. Hopefully there won't be any more deaths.

Edit: Well, gently caress.

Think about it. You're a monster who wants to kill a lot of unarmed civilians. Crowded movie theater, everyone worrying about getting popcorn and good seats. Pretty good place to go on a rampage.

Just wait until we start talking about Aurora, and then everything will fall into place, trust me.

Too bad it wasn't Transformers. The world could use a costumed vigilante multibillionaire who wants nothing more than to see Michael Bay broken and weeping having finally grasped the full horror of his actions...

Edit: Thank God for Something Awful. I've just been sitting here listening in horror to the police scanner and making tacky jokes is the only thing keeping me from deciding to say "gently caress it, people suck" this weekend and just smoke pot in the garage rather than do life-affirming productive things.

Bomb was a tear bomb. 20 people confirmed wounded, they dont just guess at the number, this is confirmed hits. Even 20 people is a lot, that means well over 20 bullets were discharged which takes a while.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be something retarded like weirdo obsessed Batman fanboys shooting up a theatre because THEY'RE RUINING BATMAN. It's more likely that it was targeted as it was a crowded event, as that is usually the case, but you know the speculation is gonna be carazay.

If anyone knew why these happen they would be a loving zillionaire. Many theories have been put forward but none really match up to every situation. We have crazy people, we have guns, we have an inadequate mental health system, thats about the best answer anyone can come up with.

He prolly only emptied one clip, maybe 2 before he ran.

If he had a real grenade and not a tear gas grenade he would have gotten more people, but I'm glad that more people weren't hurt.
