Little Baby Shot at Point Blank Range in Colorado Shooting; Shooter Only Had One Parking Ticket on Criminal Record
A three month old baby was shot point blank inside a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado during a screening of the latest Bat Man Film. The showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” ended in chaos as a lone gunman came into the theater, threw a smoke bomb, and opened fire on the crowd.
James Holmes, a 24-year old man, is being charged with the killings. He gave himself up to police without incident. Shockingly, Holmes has no criminal record, other than a traffic ticket. In addition to the people he killed, he also wounded 50 others.
Holmes came into the theater with a gas mask and bullet proof vest, busting through the emergency exit of the theater. Some of the movie-goers thought that the incident was part of the film, until people started to be killed around them and dropping to the floor.
After opening fire, the man slowly made his way up the stairs, shooting people as he walked. He was killing people at random. One woman said that the man pointed the gun at her face and then shot two people behind her instead.
A woman said that she had shell casings falling on top of her head as she ducked to the ground. She also said that her forehead was burning from the cases that kept falling onto her. Then, the gunman stopped to reload his weapon. The woman said she was crawling to the exit and saw a 14-year old girl lying lifeless on the ground.
“As people ran this gunman, or gunmen, opened fire hitting people,” one witness said. “Police sources have told us there are 10 bodies inside the cinema, most of them children or teenagers, and one baby.”
“A baby was shot at point blank range, the family were gathered around screaming.”
Even President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama made a statement in response to the senseless tragedy.
“Michelle and I are shocked and saddened by the horrific and tragic shooting in Colorado. Federal and local law enforcement are still responding, and my Administration will do everything that we can to support the people of Aurora in this extraordinarily difficult time. We are committed to bringing whoever was responsible to justice, ensuring the safety of our people, and caring for those who have been wounded. As we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come together as one American family. All of us must have the people of Aurora in our thoughts and prayers as they confront the loss of family, friends, and neighbors, and we must stand together with them in the challenging hours and days to come.”
Colorado has some of the most relaxed gun laws in the country. It is the state where two students went into Columbine High School in 1998 and killed dozens of classmates with homemade bombs and assault weapons.

Celestine Peterson asked, “…are we safe any where any more?” People like to go around in a dangerous world thinking in their mind that they are safe. Thinking that must make them feel better. But the thought is groundless and false. We are never safe, we never were safe, and we never will be safe.
There obviously exist a small number of people on our streets, in movie theaters, in grocery stores, etc. that are clearly not psychological right. The killer at Virginia Tech and the man in the Colorado theater are prime examples. Government will never be able to detect them in advance or do anything to prevent them from killing you and your loved ones. Only you can stop them because only you will be there when the attack starts. To do that you have to do what I do.
Every minute of every day, everywhere I go, I carry a handgun. I have it right now as I type. Our media, including the movie industry, does everything it can to convince you that I am paranoid. Our media, including the news industry, does everything it can to convince you that you are safer without a gun for self defense. But you are a smart person; think about it on your own.
If I am in your city with my gun and I see men attempting to murder you with baseball bats, what do you want me to do with my gun? Do you want me to save you life or do you want me to watch you die? And this is not an abstract question. I carried a gun when I went out into the dark South Center Los Angeles streets during the Rodney King riots, when no police were available, and helped safe a man’s life who was being attacked by five men and beaten over the head with the heavy end of a pool cue.
So … do you really think I’m being paranoid? Do you think you are safer without a gun? Guns are easy to learn how to use. If you don’t know how to use one take lessons and practice, practice, practice. Your first gun should be a .22 revolver. They are easy to learn how to use and ammunition is inexpensive for a lot of practice. The life you safe might be your own. Joseph L. Bass, Ed.D. http://www.abettersociety.info

I am saddened by what happened to these people. I would like to add, that we can not say these are our last days because of all the crazy things happening, because stuff like this has been happening since the beginning of time. Thanks to New and improved media outlets, we are becoming more aware of the things that goes on around the world. So lets not scare people into thinking that we are in our lasts days, because we are not! God said the we will not know the day or the hour when he is coming.
Let’s just pray for the deacesed and their families and pray that senseless acts like this will stop!
