I'm pretty sure CBS did so as well as I watched the press conference held around noon and one of those guys was trying to make it seem like a tea partier. So stupid.
The Aurora Mayor and Colorado's Gov were smart though in the press conference. The gist of what they said was it's a horrible incident, but there is no need to overreact because it's one guy and one incident. A certain scumbag Mayor in NYC that tries to use everything for political gain, including this incident, should take note. We need more rational leaders and not reactionaries in this country.
Seems that way. Apparently he was in college to become a doctor. Neuropathy or something like that.
@ Duck - amen about more rational leaders.
Also, the fact that he set up his house with booby traps would lead me to believe he knew that it was going to be a 1 time thing. I'm surprised he didn't commit suicide after the act.
Yeah I expected suicide by cop.

24 year old med student. Probably could have done some good in his life...
Was this his actual mugshot? He looks like he is about to crack up laughing.

Doubt it. Probably a School ID picture.

Gun control won't make this any better. People are going to kill when they want to kill. Ex. Norway Massacre. I wish the entire audience had guns and riddled this **** face with bullets, but the guy had body armor. At least a shootout might have possibly allowed a few more people to escape? It's hard to tell what the outcome would be. It's a terrible shame that anyone has to endure this pain. These stories make me sick to my stomach, I pray that the families affected have a speedy recovery.
The guy was a medical student who couldn't get a job after getting a masters in Neuroscience. He had **** going for him, but he threw it all away.

Yeah, I believe it said school supplied picture in the article.

That guy looks baked... you know Schizophrenia often takes hold in people's early 20s and marijuana is know to exacerbate the condition, as well as stress. Wonder if that's the case here, because wtf?

But do school and theater shootings happen every year in the Netherlands? what about Canada? Laws might not stop it completely but it will be a deterrent of some sort for sure
America is already screwed up because of its gun culture. Thats their heritage. You dont want to make some frustrated employee or some loser get easy access to a gun and blow people up whenever he feels like. I need guns for my self-defense is the usual weak argument by pro-NRA guys. And do you really want all people to carry pistols to watch Dark Knight?
Becasue not allowing legal gun ownership stops all gun crime. My bad I forgot all criminals get their guns legally. I am a damn proud gun owner.
you crackdown on illegal arms then, you don't make it easy for everyone to carry guns to a theater, where anyone pissed off because they had a fight with the wife can shoot somebody on the way.Not to mention accidents.

If guns were illegal to own, how would the criminals get them? Robbing military bases with knives?
