So far 14 confirmed dead, 50 injured.  I would expect the death toll to rise as more info comes in.  The suspect is in custody.

The guy walked right into a movie theater with a rifle and a handgun (an additional gun stashed in the theater), tear gas grenades, body armor, and a gas mask.  Tossed the tear gas and then opened fire.  The suspect appeared to be in his early 20's.  I'm glad they took him alive.  I hope he winds up spending the rest of his life at the SuperMax ADX out there in Colorado.  Supposed to be a living hell.

Yes.  But you example of having a trained person in the room capable of responding isn't realistic. There just are not of them around. Well trained people (police and general army guys) don't take one

Currently, they've revised the numbers back ... now its 12 and 38 (according to CNN, that is)

They're saying he's 24, from outside San Diego, and a student in CO.

I'm glad they took him alive.

Not me. I wish somebody legally carrying their own weapon had put one between his eyes long before the body count got that high! But that's just me......

I live about 20 minutes away from where that theater is. They were showing the new Batman Movie at midnight lastnight.

People are crazy, we need to outlaw guns, it's out of control.

Very sad...

Yep, the classic argument about guns.

People with guns shoot people. People without guns end up in the nuthouse.

This guy had full combat gear and tear gas. Now how do you get tear gas? I thought that was not legal to purchase?

What I'm saying is, how in the heck do you buy tear gas, and bomb making supplies. This guy boobie trapped his apartment with bombs also.

Maybe he ordered it online. But its weird.

Don't know about tear gas, but making improvised explosive devices using smokeless powder or home-made explosives is pretty easy.

That's the bad thing about the internet. Way to easy to learn how to do this stuff. Look at it this way, if you wanted to make your own bomb, how would find out?

20 years ago, these wackos had no weapons. So they just remained being wacko, thats it. Now they feel they have to kill people.

When they showed his photo, he certainly looks like a loner. Same profile as the Virginia Tech shooter.

Right cause there weren't any serial killers or mass murderers before the internet.

Like you, I don't know exactly how criminals get weapons illegally. But they do, and always will. Most laws only deter those who are honest. By definition, criminals don't abide by laws and will always find away to circumvent those they choose to.

Of course that isn't what happened. A guy using legally obtainable weapons (tear gas is legal in CO) killed a bunch of innocent people. There is no way of saying if reasonable gun control would have helped. Now I have no clue if he has the proper permits for his gun or not but so far I haven't seen anything to suggest the guy shouldn't have been able to buy a gun. He was a grad (or exgrad) student not some guy with a list a mile long of felonies. Calling him a criminal is a bit simplistic as so far he wasn't one until the spree started.  Obviously all of these comments are early on in the game.

Ever heard of Charles Whitman?  That was more than 20 years ago.

Ted Kaczynski had a PhD... this lunatic was attempting to get his PhD.  Perhaps we should just outlaw doctorate programs?

I'll put my money on... the guy walked into a gun store just days before this. Exactly like the Virginia Tech shooter. Same profile too.

Tear gas is legal in CO? I didn't know that, that needs to change as well.

And this isn't the old west anymore, so people think they would have shot this guy if they had their legally owned weapons is complete BULLSHIIT.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
