58 Injured 10 Dead In Movie Theater Shooting

Suspected Colorado movie theater gunman James Holmes purchased four guns at local shops and more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition on the Internet in the past 60 days, Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told a news conference A few days ago "All the ammunition he possessed, he possessed legally, all the weapons he possessed, he possessed legally, all the clips he possessed, he possessed legally," 


Authorities have yet to identify the 10 victims who died at the theater. Two other people died at the hospital, including 24-year-old aspiring sportscaster Jessica Ghawi, for a total of 12 dead. Thirty people remained hospitalized, 11 of them in critical condition, Oates said.

Fifty eight people were injured, most of them by gunfire but a "handful" during the ensuing chaos, Oates said. One person was hit in an adjacent theater.

As for the dead, Oates said he hoped soon to get a "confirmed list of the 10 deceased and we will begin the agonizing process of meeting with those families and confirming what has happened to their loved ones."

The shooting occurred during a sold-out midnight premiere of the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises," when Holmes, 24, allegedly unloaded four weapons' full of ammunition into the unsuspecting crowd.

The number of casualties makes the incident the largest mass shooting in U.S. history. Chief Oates earlier today said that police, bomb squads and the ATF have found a large number of explosive devices and trip wires at Holmes' apartment and have not yet decided how to proceed without setting off explosions.

"The pictures we have from inside the apartment are pretty disturbing considering how elaborate the apartment is booby trapped," police said outside of the apartment complex today. The "flammable and explosive" materials could have blown up Holmes' apartment building and the ones near it, police said. 

My take on things: 

For one this is just horrible to hear, Can't really believe it happen. Now it's to the point where I'm gonna be carrying my gun with a few clips when I take A date to the movies. Sounds like over kill now but when somebody does a stupid copycat of this thinking its cool maybe it won't be so bad. One thing that crossed my mind was do you think they will put more people on staff when a new movie comes out? Would they take a note from the homeland security or TSA an start having pat downs an metal detectors an x-rays? that's overboard but now its gonna be hard to bootleg but 

I'd rather watch A new movie streamed over my computer an have the comfort of using my own bathroom an if I were to get intimate with a female friend my bed is right there but lets not forget I wouldn't be paying $9 for a soda an popcorn. There's always gonna be lone gunmen out there you just gotta be always aware.
