Wow. Crazy. i really hope the Iranian thing is complete bullshit.

 

[DiscoJer]

I feel the same way but someone asked him/her if it was really the Iranian flag he/she saw and the reply was.



"it was hard to see, it was under his riot mask. i remember red and green. i'm going to talk to the police soon. thank you reddit"



Right now, anything is possible til we hear something from the press conference.

I wish people wouldn't jump to conclusions like this based on rumor. (Or reddit in this case)

It's never good to spread panics like this. If it turns out to be true, it can wait. But spreading inflammatory rumors doesn't do anyone any good.

I have Iranian relatives. The vast majority of Iranians are in the US because they have to be (they aren't welcome in Iran). The last thing they need is crap like this.

 

[Nibel]

A pregnant woman was shot in the face. Police looking for her 9-year-old daughter who is unaccounted for.

Goddammit

 

[Wes]

Horrifically sad. No other words to describe this.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Oh god possible explosives in a APT building.

Cut this shit out. These are random people shouting madness to just put more gas on the fire.

 

[braves01]

Fuck. Any word on how injured the 50 are?

I heard ranging from minor to critical, no mention of how many critical.

 

[goomba]

False Flag is the first thing you think of? The US killing its own citizens?
Really?

Thats not what I said nor meant. I doubt the info to start with but if its true i think its more likely a false flag (not saying the US government did it, its just as ridiculous that the Iranian government did it). Its too early to comment further.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Iranian attack in Bulgaria a few days ago involving a bomb as well.

RIP my Colorado brothers and Sisters. ;'(

Doesn't sound like it - if red and green is the only defining feature.

And if this was something political/terrorism related then wouldn't the flag be displayed more predominately ?

 

[perfectchaos007]

CNN has coined this the Batman Movie Massacre. Really CNN?

 

[MIMIC]

Police: No evidence of 2nd gunman

 

[Tess3ract]

Cut this shit out. These are random people shouting madness to just put more gas on the fire.

No it's not the police chief confirmed it. the shooter said he had explosives in his apartment, and the police evacuated the buiding

 

[Princess Viola]

I heard ranging from minor to critical, no mention of how many critical.

I hope no one else dies.

 

[daviyoung]

Iranian flag? How many average joes know what the Iranian flag looks like?

 

[Good Job Bob]

CNN has coined this the Batman Movie Massacre. Really CNN?

Just noticed that shit, Jesus Christ..

 

[Yagharek]

CNN witness: Gunman in riot helmet, bullet proof vest, in all black (with goggles), holding a shot gun.

Sounds like an unfortunate situation where getting into a batman premiere wearing all black suits might not have raised initial suspicions, given people often dress up for big film events.

Such a tragedy, but its too early to speculate as to why/who etc.

Hopefully it goes no higher than 14

 

[Lucius86]

Police Chief apparently confirming at least 14 dead.

 

[Horse Detective]

I hope no one else dies.

After a bombing/shooting....?

well...
Not exactly the norm for this sort of event.

 

[LobLob]

Holy fuck at all the injured and dead, my God.

 

[Nevasleep]

They are searching a suspects residence, and checking for explosives.

 

[jaxword]

No evidence of second gunman at the moment.

Single suspect in custody.

 

[ZROCOOL]

Wow. I'm speechless right now.

 

[ThisWreckage]

Damn, did any Colorado GAF members go to any of these showings?

 

[giga]

On the 14 dead--10 died at the scene and 4 died at the hospital. (from the press conference). RIP.

 

[Wind's Howling]

No it's not the police chief confirmed it. the shooter said he had explosives in his apartment, and the police evacuated the buiding

Ah, i see. My bad. I thought it was just some random guy.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

CNN has coined this the Batman Movie Massacre. Really CNN?

smh... Any connection with Batman should be avoided, this is a massacre.

 

[water_wendi]

No evidence of second gunman at the moment.

Suspect in custody.

Well thank fuck for something.

 

[snap0212]

The witness on reddit edited his post. He now links to a thread on /v/. WTF?

 

[Bgamer90]

14 people dead from going to see a big movie at midnight.

This world is crazy. I have no other words.... just really sad.

 

[Sinoox]

So I actually have been to that theater before. Right across the street is a mall that had a gun fight in the parking lot. So this is isn't the first time something like this has happened in that place, it's evidently a bad area.

 

[kayos90]

Damn, did any Colorado GAF members go to any of these showings?

I think if they were at these locations posting on GAF is the least of their concerns.

 

[Jaroof]

This is terrible..
What can possess someone to do something like this..?

 

[Princess Viola]

smh... Any connection with Batman should be avoided, this is a massacre.

Seriously.

If you're going to need to call it something, call it the Aurora Theatre Massacre or something.

 

[Amagon]

The witness that said he saw the Iranian flag is a troll, disregard whatever you heard about this rumor.

 

[Tess3ract]

Next press conference at 11am cst

 

[LobLob]

How does one guy shoot 50 or 60 people with only a shotgun?????????

 

[el retorno]

Cut this shit out. These are random people shouting madness to just put more gas on the fire.

That was from the press conference

 

[EYEL1NER]

Wow. Crazy. i really hope the Iranian thing is complete bullshit.

I figure it probably is.
"He was throwing tear gas at us. He had a flag with these colors on it..."
I know I can't see shit after exposure to tear gas.

He's supposedly in the theater as it gets shot up and then hops in Reddit afterwards?
I hope he's full of shit.

Police: No evidence of 2nd gunman

Well that is some not-bad news then.
The thought of a second gunman being out there is certainly scary.

 

[Hoo-doo]

The witness on reddit edited his post. He now links to a thread on /v/. WTF?

4chan trolling. Just ignore and stop spreading this absolute nonsense until proven legit.

 

[Wind's Howling]

That was from the press conference

Already said something about it. My bad. Do not have live coverage here.

 

[jaxword]

Police briefing over.

Official press release being announced at 11 AM today.

The current threat appears to be over for the night, the police evacuated the suspect's apartment to search for explosives.

 

[Kincaido]

Damn, 14 dead and 50 injured =(

 

[overcast]

What the fuck. So awful.

 

[Suikoguy]

The witness that said he saw the Iranian flag is a troll, disregard whatever you heard about this rumor.

Thank you; you really gotta check the source with stuff like this. How someone could troll something like this is beyond me.

Seriously, something is not right here.

 

[xbhaskarx]

What's that?

 

[Charoncaori]

CNN has coined this the Batman Movie Massacre. Really CNN?

I am a shitty person for even thinking of this but this shit had better not boil over into the Dark Knight vs Avengers arguments...
