Oh Rick, that is devastating news and how horrid that he chose the opening of a children's movie to do such a dreadful thing.  Condolences, sympathy, prayers and thoughts to all those affected, in whatever way, from this terrible tragedy.

Anna and I despair at such stories Rick.

What on earth goes through the minds of these people allowing them do such an awful thing?

Our sympathy to all concerned.

Oh my God Rick, these people are sick. The world is so full of sick people right now I get the impression the dark side is winning. I watched the reports on both BBC world and CNN and could not believe what happened. Condolences to all who were affected by this and to the good people of the USA.

Hi Rick, needl;ess to say but thoughts are there for all concerned and it's amazing how these tragedies affect far more than just those involved. Really makes you wonder what goes with these very sick people

It turns out that this young man went to medical college for neuro science,,and had dropped out this past may.His mother who lives in california,,she woke up, saw the news and called authorities and said "you have the right man in custody" and our local media is at the gunmans apt. and have learned it is "booby trapped" they have found trip wires throughout the apt..

I will fill you in as our local media cover things..it is beyond me to learn a college person could be responsible for this ...
