I read on another news site that it was during the Batman-premiere. Not sure if it matters, but it is one of the most anticipated movies this year I think.

I'm guessing the gunman chose today because he knew that the theater would be packed with people to see the film on the opening night.

As I said, I'm not sure if it matters, but I'm just trying to add a detail/information that has been pointed out in other news sources, but was not mentioned here.

Edit: I see now that the title has been changed, so the "Batman" detail is there.

Any event that is hyped or highly anticipated attracts a higher proportion of fruit cases, they follow natural lines of drift to these events. It's a valid and interesting point.

U.S Shopping Malls in general have a high volume of people there most days, another interesting point.

Holy Fck

That world and humanity have become beyond salavation, me thinks

RIP to the deceased and speedy recovery to the wounded

The gunman was wearing all black, bullet proof vest, AR-15, gas canisters, homemade explosive. No doubt this psychopath was trying to inflict as many casualties as possible especially when people were busy watching the screen.

The police has the gunman in custody and there are report that children were shot.

Today is really not a good day. Rest in Peace to the victims.
