71 shot 12 dead.

[demtenjeep]

10 still at scene

2 died at hospitals



This is so horrible

1. 71 shot = person who trained...this wasn't some run of the mill nut...

[Blue_In_AK]

3. No, I think it was some run-of-the-mill nut.

If he had been a good shot, more people would be dead with that much ammo flying around.

[uponit7771]

4. My understanding is there was no fully automatic assault rifle just an AR/15 type

...so to pick of 50 people who were standing still he had to be good with the trigger...moving? He's practiced 71?...he trained.

No this isn't the run of the mill nut...

[demtenjeep]

8. tear gas and 2 glocks as well

this was thought and planned out

[Blue_In_AK]

13. Sorry, I still think he was just crazy.

Maybe well-trained in firearms, but crazy nonetheless.

[demtenjeep]

16. you could be right but he took the time to booby-trap his apartment

and had all kinds of protective gear. He might have been crazy but he also planned this out

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

2. One victim hit in adjoining theater!

[uponit7771]

5. Yeap, if it wasn't an arrant bullet then he trained

arrant

[turtlerescue1]

6. He had to pick his location

one where no one would be "on guard", and that takes away run of the mill nutcase to me.

[uponit7771]

7. +1,Not only that one where lot of unarmed people are and where police couldn't get to him fast. Add

...the entry into the exit door = everyone running out of the two exist and there being a kill zone.

Throw in a huge apartment bomb and this guy was trained...

I'd want to know who he was talking to

We'll see...

14. our theaters employ off duty police

they are at every door have been for years due to gang violence

[Hell Hath No Fury]

9. Clearly well thought out and planned.

I think the decision to shoot at the midnight opening of "Batman" and then allow the police to capture him also speaks to someone who wanted notoriety. So many times the shooter kills themselves after the act -- this person wanted to be around to witness the fallout.

11. There is a reason you can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater.

Dude is a coward.

[pinboy3niner]

10. The families and friends of the victims should be uppermost in our minds

Fuck the politics (which may not have anything to with this).

[demtenjeep]

12. everyone in the theater were victims

this will always be in their heads. Many will be asking why they were spared when others were not. Many will just ask why at all


All will have this terror to live with for the rest of their lives

[demtenjeep]

15. the authorities also said there could be more injured

and not been seen by medical personel
