Shooting spree claims 12 lives at US movie theater

A masked gunman killed 12 people at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie in a suburb of Denver, Colorado, early yesterday, sparking pandemonium when he hurled a tear gas canister into the auditorium and then opened fire on moviegoers.

Fifty others, including children, were wounded in the attack on the showing of The Dark Knight Rises in a mall in the Aurora suburb, some of whom were treated for the effects of tear gas, hospital officials said.

“This is a horrific event,” Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told a news conference, adding that a suspect was taken into custody in the parking lot behind the theater.

         Last month, a masked gunman killed 12 people in a movie theater in USA. Three men who saved their girlfriends’ life at the Colorado movie shooting. A 19-year-old young man saved a stranger and her daughter at the Colorado movie shooting, too. I was touched by their selfless sacrifice. A friend in need is a friend indeed. How great the love is! If everyone could have this kind of love, the world will become very peace and beautiful.
