Four people are dead inside an Aurora, Colo., home Saturday following a standoff with an "armed and dangerous" man holding hostages, police say. Aurora is the Denver suburb where a gunman opened fire in a movie theater last July, killing 12 and injuring many more.
Saying the country needs to take action now, a handful of Aurora Theater Shooting victims appeared at the state capitol Friday. They urged lawmakers to help curb gun violence.
A gunman killed 12 and injured 58 others during a midnight showing of the Batman movie 'Dark Knight' Century Aurora 16 Multiplex. Shooting suspect James Holmes is being held in Arapahoe County Jail.
Payment decisions are complete and the victims of the Aurora theater shooting will receive money in the coming days. The Aurora Victim Relief Fund has collected $5,338,360.32 between when the mass shooting occurred on July 20 and the deadline to donate, Nov. 15.
