This is a tragic event. Let's not derail the thread with a gun control debate. Posts from page 9 onward will be moderated for steering the discussion towards gun control.

I think I've watched too much of this coverage at this point, but I can't stop.
wow... This girl was at another shooting a month earlier...
Jessica Redfield @JessicaRedfield 2 Jun In the Eaton Center. Cops everywhere. Ambulance everywhere. Being told someone started shooting in the food court.
Wow this just smells of that film, ermm i forget its name. Where they all survive a tradgey cuz of someones bad feeling, then they all die one by one...like they were supposed too 0.O
Ill be checking this so keep updated. Soemthing about this feels weird. I know that makes no sense but some thing abou this just seems pretty danm word. Are there pictures of suspects and also some of the news reporting by big media is so unforgivable I mean I know every one alrdy knows big news companies are evil and full of shit but the way they try and get the juicy stuff . I watched one chick from fox twitch her eyes she was so embarrised and guilty to act the way she did. I just hates things like this.

"You have the right person," she said, apparently speaking on gut instinct. "I need to call the police... I need to fly out to Colorado.""
The Monica Seles stabbing is basically why we even have security at professional tennis matches, and this incident is going to be the reason why we're going to have metal detectors in theaters at huge movie premieres.
Let's not start that debate in this thread, should it come about let's discuss it in that thread. Let's keep this one to discussing the ongoing events and following the details as the emerge.
Captain Janks, I was eatching CNN yesterday with shock, disbelief, sadness, and countless other emotions. And I am in Canada, and do not know anyone in Colorado. Parents, family members, and friends were all tuning into CNN to see if their teenager was KILLED or MAIMED, and here you were interrupting things with idiocies. How do you even think of these things? How can you think about trying to be funny, when a nation is in shock and gravely concerned? Crank phone calls can be funny, but how could you not think you crossed the line this time? Maybe it won't be so funny one day when it's your daughter/son's school who's been attacked, you are frantic with worry, and some DOLT calls up your source of information making light of the situation. I guess we can only hope... A reply would be appreciated, but seeing as you are a gutless coward, I don't expect one. Jon Selig
so basically the guy hasnt been able to mature in 13 years... I almost feel sad for the man, causing other people so much pain just for some attention, he must be very lonely.
things like this makes me sick, Im almost ashamed of being a human, I just hope this was an "isolated act" done by a crazy man and that politicians wont use this the way they do with what happend in Norway or 9/11 for that matter to gain votes, it's disgusting.
as everybody else here I hope that victims along with families will be alright.

That is so freaky. RIP!
Final Destination :/ I sort of had the same thought...just so twisted.
Can't believe it actually happened twice to her...wow...and that final conversation on twitter...
This is really close to home and it makes me feel like hell. I remember when I was in middle school and got the announcement of columbine just 10 miles away which was horrendous. Now, I'm eating breakfast and I hear the report of a shooting in a movie theater 25 miles away and it makes me sad for the victims, but it makes me feel even sadder that there are people in this world that feel they have the need to take lives in order to compensate for whatever fucked up things happened to them.
One day this guy will see the wrong in his ways and realize that he is a sick individual and a coward.

Reading some news about some isolate incident your day ? First world problems I call it. Feel sorry about the victms and I wish them well, but my day's ruined by something else already ><
On topic: How can you get into a cinema theater without some employees having a look at you; I used to remember there were employees checking you out so you don't have hidden sodas/snacks bought for 10 times cheaper than what they were selling. And they also get the tickets from you. Hiding a gun under your T-shirt ( it's summer ) seems strange. They must've found another way in or something.

I have to say this poster's feelings mirror my own whenever something like this or even lesser perhaps happens. Life in prison would simply not be punishment enough, unless he gets brutalized day after day by the inmates there. It's sometimes hard to understand suffering without suffering yourself.

He's been interviewed on the Howard Stern show several times and one of his defenses is that he is trying to show people how stupidly easy it is to get on CNN or some other major news outlet by pretending to be a credible news source, and how gullible the stations are for allowing him on. Basically he tries to put the blame on the media and their practices of putting "experts" on the air.
Bit gratuitous to post her final tweets, possibly her final words to someone she was close to, don't you think? I guess it puts a face on the inhumanity of the event.. It just seems.. invasive.
Reading that twitter convo is incredibly depressing
I read it a couple of hours ago and got chills. Haven't felt right all morning. She seemed so excited to see the movie and then this shit happens. I'm so angry about it.

Maybe read the thread, or any of the coverage: He came in through the emergency exit.
