Darkness Rises during Dark Knight Showing

Last night in Denver, Colorado movie goers hoping to see the final installment of the Batman franchise The Dark Knight Rises were faced with a real darkness that left 50 people injured and 12 reportedly deceased.

According to reports, "Witnesses say they heard a series of explosions and up to 20 gunshots after the scene grew chaotic.  About 100 witnesses were taken to a local high school to be questioned by police.  Police, ambulances and emergency crews swarmed on the Aurora, Colorado theater after frantic 911 calls around 12:30a.m., local time, officials said."

The suspect, 24-year-old James Holmes is in police custody. Authorities told news reporters that Holmes had fired inside the theater and then ran to the parking lot where he was apprehended.  "Holmes wore a bulletproof vest, police said, and was carrying a rifle and two handguns.  The handguns may have been placed in the theater before the shooting."  The Federal Bureau of Investigations is also weighing in on the recent violence, spokesman Jason Pack told reporters, "there's no indication in the investigation so far as any connection to terrorism."

The youngest victim being treated for wounds is a 6 year old.  Many others are in critical condition.  Thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends who lost loved one's in the tragedy.  For more on these events please go to the following website: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/07/20/several-reportedly-dead-injured-after-shooting-at-colorado-movie-theater/#ixzz21AgaBXnH
