I live in aurora, and multiple people I know were injured. This guy I went to high school with was also shot multiple times and is in the hospital. It saddens me that we have to live in a world like this. My thoughts go out to all the people effected.

per the AP, his apartment is booby trapped with sophisticated explosives and flammable devices, buckets of bullets. Area is evacuated for now.

This dude was apparently a registered democrat (not that that matters, as I could give two shits what his political affiliation is), was at CU-Denver trying to get a PhD in Neuroscience of some sort. Dropped out in June, Moved to Aurora about 1 year 2 months ago.

His mother seems to imply he was mentally unstable when she confirmed "you have the right guy." lived in California near Riverside for some time, though his truck had Tennessee plates. No word yet where he got the guns.

Story is developing.

Vibes to everyone affected, especially the wounded who may not be out of the woods yet.

Does anyone know if the movie was significant to the shooter other than it just being a densely populated place?

Shit, just woke up a bit ago from going to the premier and have been seeing this all over the news. So fucked up that you never know where that could happen. I hope the death toll stops rising.

Well to the two above posters. 1. It cost about $30,000 a year to put someone in prison for a year if he stays in Co. 2. He could be in prison for 20 + years before he is put to death which also comes with a high price tag.

It's always fucking Colorado. I don't get why. All these shootings make this state get a weirder and weirder vibe. So sad. Colorado used to be such a safe and happy place.

Sorry fell asleep. My friend says the guy kicked in the fire door right after the opening credits. Everyone thought he was part of the show because he looked like Bane. Then he tossed the tear gas, thats when my friend hid under his seat thankfully. Soon as the gas started pouring out he opened fire on the top rows first. Then as everyone was running out he started shooting at the exits. He said the shooter didn't really move. Didn't chase anyone to the lobby either. He just stood front and center as he shot. He was in there for nearly 15 minutes before 10 cops came in pointing shotguns at the guy. Me and some friends we're talking about what theater we want to go to last night. Talking about that same theater. I have a weird feeling in my stomach because I know how easily it could of been us there. Keep CO in your thoughts, prayers, or whatever. We don't need this right now.

I am from Colorado, and this is absolutely horrible that anything like this happens anywhere.  However, I have always thought about the people above me freaking out about things like this saying "how can this happen??"  "why is it always CO???"  that they are completely out of tune with the world.  There is a civil war going on in syria, a bus of jews was blown up in bulgaria, kidnappings in Mexico are rising to outrageous numbers, and multiple suicide bombings have claimed hundreds more lives in the past few months across the mid-east. 

In no way do I mean to detract from the horror that was this event, but we do need to realize that we live in a relatively safe country.  I guess my point is that while fucked up things like this happen in the US, there are many fucked up events that are an integral part of life in some areas of the world.

another thing that is so creepy about this, is that the guy looked like the villain in the movie. I would assume he did that on purpose but I have no real idea.

but according to the news here locally, he bought a ticket to the movie, came out and exit, propped the door open, moved his car, then went in the exit door. after that they havent said.

Definitely fake, but I'm not sure why anyone would want to draw attention in that way. Unless they hated 9gag

The guy was in one of the first few rows when he answered his phone and walked out the same front emergency door. My guess is he needed a way to keep that door propped open that wasn't too suspicious.

this guy should be tortured just like on law abiding citizen. and it should be on public television.

i wonder if this wouldn't have happened if gun laws in USA weren't so slack? i bet it still would have happened.

anyways

RIP victims, and i hope the families get to watch this guy be slowly and painfully put to death.
