*DEVELOPING*CO Shooting at Movie Theater #1

[Blue_Dolphin308]

Yes, fully agree. As John Adams wrote, "We are a government of laws and not of men." It's one of the founding principles of this country.

Again can we start a new topic on this please? Its a sideline conversation that really does not pertain to this thread!

imo imo

 

[Padua]

I really wish I could keep up with this thread. But my babe is asleep and I want a good nights rest before she wakes up.

 

[Portabella]

Bodies are all out of theater....
Not all were taken to hospital due to gunfire, some small number hurt during chaos in theater.
Through internet he purchased three thousand rounds for the glocks, three hundred rounds for shotgun, and multiple magazines for the AR. Cannot answer whether it was automatic or semi automatic.

 

[Portabella]

They have met with family and friends and are trying to confirm the dead to the family. They will be advising family members within next hour of who was killed.

 

[CHERIE.T]

yeah he also apparently drove away from the scene and his fiance had to phone him to get him to come back, according to this link:

what a !

 

[Only4Justice]

Just arrived home.... Have XM in the truck, so I've been following both HLN and our local Detroit station, WJR.

First, let me say, my heart is broken. Once again, ONE PERSON loses it, whatever, and takes away another safety net. Guess what, there are no safety nets! Anyone, anywhere you go! You are not safe. :furious:

Have been thinking also of the relation to the movie, makes me go "hmmmm".

I'll go read the thread, but am so heartbroken for these innocent people, I'll be praying tonight .

Please NO MORE ASSAULT RIFLES! SCARY! Who IGN needs a weapon that can load 100 bullets :banghead:

 

[Beyond Belief]

three thousand rounds was an awful lot......

 

[JenniferTx]

Seems to me this punk did this mainly for attention. He clearly had no intention to kill himself. Talk about a true punk *advertiser censored* kid! This should have never happened.

 

[CHERIE.T]

They have met with family and friends and are trying to confirm the dead to the family. They will be advising family members within next hour of who was killed.

Wait...so the families had to wait all day to find out if
their loved ones where killed?
Makes me cry for them. lease:

 

[Portabella]

Five apt buildings have been evacuated. They are saying they have never seen anything like what they are looking at. jars of ammo, jars of liquid. Action is postponed until tomorrow to work on building. Resources from Fed government coming in to help address it tomorrow. All people that are evacuated must spend night away. Letting people go into four of the five buildings to get essentials such as meds.

 

[Portabella]

They are cautioning that what you read on internet about suspect may not be true.

BBM - yeah, let's lower ourselves right down to the dirt-level of this criminal, that will solve everything and improve our society tenfold.

Not so much!

Well, give Smooth a break. We should all give each other a break. This has been a horrible day. Lots of fear, grief, tears, anger.

After watching a news clip on the newly-re-christened "NBCNews.com" ; a witness said the suspect received a call on his cellphone shortly after entering the theater. Then the suspect went down the steps of the auditorium and propped open the exit door and looked out, as if checking to see if someone was there. Later, the suspect went out the exit door and reemerged; this time dressed in his protective gear and threw the tear gas and began firing.
( I wonder who Holmes spoke with on the phone and if he acted completely alone ?)
I tried to link over to the vid. clip, but apparently I'm not computer-savvy enough.
The clip is on : msnbc.msn.com/nightly-news/.....(nbc's) site and is under 'US/crime and courts'
titled : " witness: 'It's like a horrible memory I can't forget' "
person being interviewed is called , 'Corbin Dates'

Hope I posted this correctly ---if any TOS are violated, please remove

Wanted to add that I was planning to see this film later today with my hubby, now we don't want to. Prayers and condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives . And a speedy and safe recovery to the injured.
As far as the alleged shooter I have nothing to say that would be fit here; just that he is a despicable coward , in my opinion --which is most likely shared by others !

 

[Betty P]

All weapon and ammo he had he possessed legally

Justice will be served in court, legally

Dressed all in black, gas mask, ballistic helmet, tactical ballistic vest, bullet resistance, ballistic leggings, throat and groin protection, black tactical gloves

Released 2 devices w/ smoke and chemical irritant

Getting choked up

 

[gitana1]

Alex is alive!

He had been in surgery.

Thank you, thank you, thank you ! God bless him and his family. I feel so thankful for this ray of hope among such horror and tragedy.

And now a request. Can we all agree not to state the coward murderers name on here? Unless very necessary ? He does not deserve recognition.

 

[Kaliste]

The police chief is tearing up. Looks like he's having a hard time holding it all together right now. Prayers for LE right now as well. The things they must have seen How mentally and physically exhausting.
