More from my friend:

To help - if in the Denver Metro area:
Contact Bonfils Blood Center to donate blood to help the victims. Their contact information is on their website here: http://www.bonfils.org/. They mostly need O negative, A negative and platelet donors. Aurora Medical Center released the phone number of 303-873-5292 for victims, families and friends to call to find out more information on patients' statuses. Aurora Police also set up a tipline at 303-739-1862.

Just caught a statement from a gent whose daughter was in the front row of theater 9.
She stated about 15 minutes into the movie an individual got up and propped the emergency door open. Shortly thereafter the suspect opened the door and began firing.
Curious.
Accomplice?
Coincidence?

One news story said he was on the phone before propping the door open, so Maybe there was another.

For those of you GUESTS looking for dirt here you may have already sensed the outrage and disgust felt about this incident.
The members here would give you the shirt off their back to help anyone ANYONE. To the average politician we are all now potential criminals, terrorist or murderers. This is not the mindset here and if anyone tries to twist this site into that that then the proof will be your burden to prove.
I was going to take my wife to the movies today on her day off. This will not stop me. I will continue to go about my life as a responsible, law abiding, trained gun owner. The anti gun crowd will see us a threat to others and will attack us daily for exercising our Constitutional Rights and I will continue to go about my life as "The Clinger", a potential bad guy or what ever the media portrays us as.
This is not the case here.
Nothing but good men and women on this site. PATRIOTS.

Yeah, another report stated that someone was banging on the door from outside and was let in. I could see that happening.

You're in a Movie theater, all you can do is sit there, or try to make a run past the mad man with a rifle, all the while gas or smoke is going around. Even if you had a CCW you're boned. Normally I'd say I'd fight back somehow, someway, but we weren't there so none of us know the conditions is that dark, smokey theater, packed with sitting ducks.
