According to an LA Times article, a total of 12 people ranging from age 6 to 51 were fatally shot by a University of Colorado student.

The fact that the shooting occurred at such a common place, the movie theater, scares me the most. These victims could have been anyone... me or you. Furthermore, it's clearly a sh*tty way to die. Go to a late Friday night movie to relax after a long week of who-knows-what, and then out of nowhere, a rampant shooter runs inside from the exit door. In the darkness, confused and frightened movie-goers trip and run for any other exit they can find. Boyfriends protecting girlfriends, mothers running with their stumbling daughters, etc. A truly chaotic scene.

I hope this mentally deranged shooter is given the death sentence. I don't want society's tax and government money being spent on keeping sh*t heads like this alive in a jail that they'll never even leave anyway.
