'Ten shot dead' at Batman film premiere in Denver

[Hess]

Sad to hear this. That is the hometown of a friend of mine IRL, and they know a group of people who went to see one of the screenings. They are still trying to find out whether they are okay...

The death toll has risen, and people are still pouring into hospitals according to news reports. This honestly scares me because last night I was watching a fictional movie from 2009 that was almost exactly like this incident, and then today it happens. Things are falling apart in our world...

Thanks to first person shooters.

Yeah it are the third-person shooters and RPG games where people respawn.... 

With your logic, those who hijacked planes and used them in attacks, probably played Flying Simulator too much.

What if the attacker was stupid insane enough to believe that randomly attacking people at a movie premiere would attract Batman?

Perhaps the attacker saw that movie. Ban all movies with violence!

That is not funny at all.

I doubt it, and I am not saying anything like that, but the coincidence itself is what scares me. Last night I looked up the movie to see if its story actually happened, and it said nothing like this ever actually has...then a few hours later it did...

I wonder what the gunmans motive was...
Maybe he didn't like the movie? Maybe he was hoping Batman would come save everyone? Maybe he's just a fucking psychopath!

Has he been caught yet?

I don't think that was a joke.

Ill people in an ill society. One among many definitions of a human being is that it consist of interaction with others.

12 dead, 34 wounded as of a few moments ago according to the FBI.

This is the movie cinema my nephew and my aunt go to and they live only minutes from here. This new is shocking and a tragedy to see. Some of the witnesses heard and telling their stories is just unbelievable and just.. can't eve find words for it.

Its sad that this 24 year old man would do this, I'm interested to find his motive. When his mother was called and asked if it was possible, she said 'yes he's the right man' and that shes on her way. Like if this guy had serious issues what kind of help was in place, and why did he have an 'AK-like' rifle plus smoke grenades on hand, quite troubling.

News reports from CNN are stating that the Red Cross is now on-scene assisting those injured.

Has he been caught yet?

Yes. He surrendered to police without resistance shortly after the incident.

People who do this sort of thing dont normally expect to live afterwords. Suicide by cop is whats expected. Although now I hear he surrendered which is interesting.
