Aurora CO
Today is Friday, July 20th, 2012. The Dark Knight Rises, the latest installment of Batman, is such a popular movie that theaters everywhere started showing the movie at midnight. It grossed $30.6 million just in the overnight showings.
One theater in Aurora CO, however, may have to give a few refunds for ticketholders. James Holmes, 24, in pre-meditated fashion, shot 71 people. Currently 12 are dead and 59 injured. 11 of those injured are in critical condition. Nobody knows why he did what he did. He alerted police that his apartment (4 miles away from the theater) was boobytrapped. Law enforcement is still trying to determine the best way to handle this situation.
Jessica Ghawi is one of the 12 deceased in this massacre. A beautiful young woman with aspirations of being a sports reporter. Last month, she survived a shooting in a Toronto mall. She left the food court 3 minutes before the incident occured. She was there visiting her boyfriend, Jay, who is currently a minor league hockey player.
My prayers go out to all of the victims of this terrible tragedy.
