Massacre at 'The Dark Knight Rises' - Aurora, CO Last night at a theater in Aurora Colorado a gunman entered through a side exit at around 12:30am armed with a knife, rifle, handgun, and tear gas. Witnesses stated that when they saw the man wearing all black enter the theatre, they believed him to be part of special effects set up by the theater for the midnight showing of 'The Dark Knight Rises'. The movie had a high point, with Anne Hathaway in a shoot out when the gunman entered the auditorium. Again, people believed him to be special effects, and thought it a clever stunt as the man launched a gas canister out into the audience, filling the room with fumes. He then began to shoot. He started firing at the back of the auditorium, and went on to fire at random individuals who attempted to flee. Many tried to escape, many hunkered down and attempted to escape, while others lay down on the ground and tried to play dead to escape notice of the gunmen. There were at least twelve deaths, and fifty injured. Among them was a three-month-old baby and a six year old child. They along with countless others were treated for their wounds and for exposure to the noxious fumes of the gas. Witnesses and victims were hysterical. Many spoke of how there was simply blood, everywhere they looked, people lying on the ground and outside the exits. The gunmen was arrested outside the theatre by a car. He was found wearing a bullet proof vest, a gas mask, and was in possession of a knife, rifle, and handgun. Another gun was found back in the theatre. Police report that the gunmen put up no fight during the arrest, and did not resist at all. President Obama was informed of the shooting in the early hours of the morning. In his statement in Palm Beach, Florida, where he was set to campaign today, he had this to day along with his condolences. "As we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come together as one American family. All of us must have the people of Aurora in our thoughts and prayers, as they confront the loss of family, friends, and neighbors and we must stand together with them in the challenged hours and days to come."
