14 people dead at Batman Film Premiere

[xxMATTGxx]

Ten people have been killed in a shooting at a Batman film premiere in the US city of Denver, local media say.

More than 35 people had been injured in the incident, it is reported.

A reporter for the 9News website at the scene says a gunman opened fire at the movie cinema complex in Aurora, where three theatres had a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises.

Witnesses said someone wearing a gas mask opened fire and there were also reports of a lot of smoke.

The Swedish Medical Center, which is not the area's main hospital, told the BBC it had received three gunshot victims.

I know the article says 10 but it was recently tweeted by news sites that it's now around 14 people. R.I.P to those who died.

It's shocking news. It makes you wonder what their point was... it seems slightly planned with the location, event and the gas mask.

That's sick. Don't know how anybody could let themselves do that. RIP

Wow thats nuts... what a joker. In all seriousness though I don't know why someone would do that, does anyone know if there was anyone famous there or anything?

Thinking it was just a midnight premier thing.. not a red carpet thing or anything.

Maybe they really wanted to meet Christian Bale and thought he'd show up in a batman costume

Ugh thats just awful. Some people really are sick.

'Eyewitnesses reported that a baby was shot at point blank range.' 'Police sources have told us there are at least 10 bodies inside the cinema, most of them children or teenagers, and one baby.'

If thats true then wow. Catch him/her and lock them up for life.

Time and a place.

I don't understand why Americans still believe everyone should have the right to firearms, clearly situations like this and many others could have been prevented if guns were illegal.
