10 dead in Aurora movie theater shooting | 9news.com
Shooter kicked in emergency door, threw in smoke grenade or some kind of distracting device and started shooting. Shooter also wore a gas mask.

How do you defend yourself against something like that?

It's sounding worse by the minute. Wish all the various news people would shut up till they actually KNOW what's up.

 

[Lammchop93]

Just heard an update from ABC news. They said 50 injured, 14 dead. That is just awful. I will be carrying tomorrow when I go see it. Good thing my pistol has night sights.

Just look at my avatar. This guy played so much CoD that he got PTSD.

 

[Justin Case]

Police have the shooting suspect in custody.

 

[GBuck]

Watching the Fox News coverage. Terrible situation. The two chicks they have "covering" this incident are MORONS. I mean seriously, this is the worst attempt at coverage I have ever seen. Broad sweeping INCORRECT statements are clearly not a fear of theirs.

Have a friend who lives near there and was planning to go. Checked in w/him and luckily he went somewhere else.

 

[Expat]

NBC says 15 dead. Says 3 guns. No description yet of them. Says he set off explosive device, but described it as possible smoke grenade.

That's terrible. Trapped like rats, I the dark, with smoke filling the room...even if you ignored the no guns signs many theaters put up, that would be tough.

Prosecute that SOB and pray for the victims.

 

[Hotdoger]

IBTL.

DUPE!

 

[Sylvain]

Just saw that on national TV here.

Got beat by an hour.

How do you defend yourself against something like that?

Sometimes you just can't...it is out of your hands. If your number is up...it's just up. We can defend against many situations but not all. Dark theater, full of people, smoke grenade released, complete chaos, deafening noise, suspect wearing helmet and body armor with multiple guns, you are much more likely to hit an innocent person than you are the gunman. Make yourself small and try to unass the area.

Shooter also had body armor on according to an article I read. Crazy situation that can't be trained for in the civilian world, affordably anyways. Fox had a homicide detective asking "where did he get this firepower, had to be something like an AK47 or something" so this will get deeper as it goes.

 

[IndySSD]

So they're already blaming it on the guns, not the lunatic who carefully planned this assault? What a joke!

Apparently the other thread got deleted, I had posted a comment nearly identical to Denny's about how that guy executed his plan....

My question is, how did he "kick in" a fire exit door, by law and design those are "open outward" only doors..... think about it.... either this guy worked at the theater and prepped the door before leaving or he had someone on the inside open it for him...

This guy knew EXACTLy what he was doing and planned it out quite thoroughly, yet what's the first LEO quote to the press "Where did he get his AK?" (paraphrasing of course)

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Good thing they have background checks in Colorado at gun shows.

No one fought back?

 

[Titanium_Frost]

Obviously looking for massive casualties at all cost.

"Who needs a gun at a movie theatre?" "Who needs a gun at a Zoo?" "Who needs a gun ANYWHERE???"

EVERYONE. And know how to use it. I always OC to my local theatre and if I go again, I will DEFINITELY be OCing again. Also having a flashlight is a great idea when you go to a dark place.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Having a flashlight is a good idea, regardless of where you go.

So, another case of sitting there and waiting to be shot? No one shot back? Sad day.

 

[Denny347]

Witness telling "Today" that the "gas" was blinding them and making them cough...likely CS, he was wearing a gas mask himself. Having been gassed myself I can tell you that if you are not familiar with the effects, it will cause severe panic.
