Man Opened Fired During Screening Of New Batman Movie, Kills 12

Six years later...

Exactly 6 years ago, I was frantically and hysterically looking for my friends. I will never, as long as I live, forget the sheer horror of all the sirens blaring as I searched thru the night, into the morning for my friends, co workers, and loved ones.

Aurora will NEVER forget. ❤

Were you there? Or just had friends who had attended the film?

Also a tragedy that you likely can never fully enjoy that tremendous Batman movie

By the grace of God (and a sleepy 5 yr old) I did not meet up with my friends.

My job is in the same parking lot as the theater. It was not uncommon for us all to go to the midnight premieres together, after getting off work.

I was at Gateway HS (the designated command post/ meeting and info location) long before the sun came up, looking for my friends and coworkers. I was at Medical Center of Aurora picking up my friends who were transported after the shooting and who could not get to their cars (blocked off as a crime scene.) I spent agonizing hours at Gateway going thru texts and facebook with the police, trying to determine who was where and if everyone was ok.

I spent hours crying and praying with friends as we located everyone. Hours praying with strangers and holding out hope that everyone would be ok. Then hours praying with my friends at the vigil after we learned who we lost and who was injured.

We were supposed to be there. We weren't cuz my baby fell asleep waiting for me to get home. Last thing I said to my friends that night was "Mini's asleep. Catch ya'll later." I didn't know it at the time, but my exhausted 5yo quite possibly saved our lives that evening.

I still have my tickets, tucked into Sully's funeral program. Packed away with a bunch of bad memories and heartache, from what simultaneously feels like just yesterday, but also a lifetime ago.

And no. I've still never seen The Dark Knight Rises. Nor have a few of my very good friends, past the point of gunfire in the theater. Aurora has never been the same.

You should give it a go, it's pretty damn good.

When I see old posts get bumped, in this case I was hoping for a headline update along the lines of 'Shithead dies lonely death of covid-19 in prison'.

Oh well. Nice memorial though.

I was hoping someone shanked him on the prison yard.
