Those numbers may go up. Cluster**** is an understatement. I hope the injured pull through.

Local news is reporting that at 250+ officers have responded. I am sure more then a few GT'ers are working the scene now.

They got the scumbag in custody, and Aurora PD reports there's only one suspect. I'm hearing unconfirmed reports that the POS used a handgun and a rifle, possibly an AR15.

Hopefully all our front range CT'ers are safe as well as their friends and family.

Too bad the dirt bag is still breathing.

Thoughts and prayers for the dead and injured.
Why aren't they releasing the shooters name, race or nationality yet? Is that SOP, all they've released is a male in his 20's is in custody.

Considering that this all just happened and that I sure it is a giant cluster, they aren't likely to release any info about the shooter until they have taken care of the scene.

I am curious if this was a homegrown terrorist or an import.

Well I thought I had heard the name of the suspect was released. Can't find it anywhere. I thought it was Mark something with a S. Guess not. Some FBI spokesperson is saying that right now they do not believe there are any connections to terrorism. But I wouldn't be surprised if that changes.

We had a similar act in nearby Tuscaloosa in the last few days, walked into a local bar and began shooting, 17 injured. May be racially motivated, suspect in custody. Geeze, the crazies are out, wear your vests, watch thier hands.

I am FM12 and i approved this post.

Kind of like on the internet forums - People continually flip someone off who they know is obligated to not break the rules in response. Yeah, usually that type of stupidity eventually yields the rewards that are earned.

And then there are those trying so hard to be offended that they're imagining things that haven't even been said in a thread.

Damn, this sucks. Glad you came out okay, Cochese. Keep us updated, as possible.

It's hard to believe the gunman made it out alive. Not one off-duy or CCW'er was able to slow him down? I read he had body armor, but I find it hard to believe he was the only person in there with a firearm.

I hope those who have not passed, recover well.

Keep us updated, but take care of yourself and area brethren first. Watch out for each other and any "battle fatigue" symptoms that might arise.
