COLORADO SHOOTING

[ray neukirch]

Praying for those who were hurt in the shooting at a movie theater today. At this time 10 people were killed and 20 others injured. Pray for comfort to the family's of those shot to death.

[Hannah]

Praying with you in agreement, Amen.

There have been a spat of violent deaths here in Sydney these past few weeks. Young men being attacked randomly on the streets at various night spots and dying from being punched (not even any weapons used just a fist to the head and in each case causing death).

Senseless violence taking so many lives now.

Lord have mercy.

At 4 am, 14 are dead and 39 injured.....he shot a baby at point blank range. Suspect is in hand. God forgive me, but I am angry and would love to personally emasculate him. Oh how my heart aches for these people. We went to the midnight showing of the 'Dark Knight Rises' here. Most of the folks were teenagers in CO. Come for us soon, Lord Jesus. The world has gone crazy.

What a terrible tragedy. Prayers lifted up for all of the victims and their families.

RIP to all of those people whom were killed and may God comfort their families. May God also comfort the injured and help them heal.

Hey now!
Seriously though, it looks to me as the days of Noah. Evil all around. Sometimes I wonder what would make someone do something like this. Satan speaks and they are all ears.

The FBI is already saying this "isn't terrorist related". That's about the politically correct line they took with that Muslim officer right after the Ft. Hood shooting.

Something about the Denver Metro area... When I lived there in the 1990's, there was so much violence, it took me a few years to recover. What is it about these people who would rather kill than pray???

[mattfivefour]

"Indian male"??? I don't know where the IBT got their info. The police and local Denver media and social media are reporting it is a WHITE male.

Respectfully, I think "guesses" as to motive, at the moment, are not helpful but harmful.

There's already a post at Wikipedia:

2012 Aurora shootings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The alleged shooter, James Holmes (born December 13, 1987) 1, was a 24-year-old white man wearing a bulletproof vest and gas mask. He was found by his car in the theater parking lot with a rifle, shotgun, and handgun, and did not resist arrest.[12] Once apprehended, the suspect told authorities about explosives in his residence in North Aurora.[13] Chief Dan Oates of Aurora Police Department said in a television interview that police were treating the shooter's home as a site where explosives might be present.[14]

Yes. At this point it is only harmful to speculate as to motive. Race may very well have absolutely NOTHING to do with this shooting. That the man is a white male might likely be totally irrelevant. And what a shame that race and religion are the first things to come to people's minds! The shooter may have had far left or far right-wing views. Or, quite likely, he was just a sinful individual completely twisted by evil.

Friends, let's not speculate without hard facts: we are called to be peacemakers, not discord creators.

We speculate about everything else around here. So be it, then.

Praying Father that you will bring comfort and healing to all those involved.


Psalms 61:1-2 Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I Psalms 94:19 When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.

Isaiah 41:10, 13 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand … For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”

Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

[SonSeeker]

Praying in agreement.

[Sean Osborne]

The FBI is already saying this "isn't terrorist related".

BY DEFINITION this is a terrorist attack involving chemical grenades (producing gas and shrapnel), at least two guns and possibly a third (a rifle and a handgun), no matter who the assailant was.

In this case a 24-year old man and North Aurora resident named James HOLMES is the perp. James HOLMES motive and religious affiliation remain unknown.

[LivnForChrist]

Praying for the victims and their families.

[LibertyBelle]

Federal law enforcement officials identified the suspect as James Holmes, a 24-year-old American. Holmes is in police custody, and the FBI says there is no indication that incident is tied to any terrorist groups.

Have you ever heard an American suspect, in America, by an American news source, called a "___year old American"? I haven't.

The woman had awoken unaware of the news of the shooting and had not been contacted by authorities. She immediately expressed concern that her son may have been involved."

You have the right person,” the mother said, speaking on instinct. “I need to call the police,” she added. “I need to fly out to Colorado.”

Not a great sign that his mother wasn't at all surprised.

First praying for the victims and their families....I can see where this crisis is going,the UN gun treaty lobyist here with Obama are going to be crying for these kind of crimes to be stopped !!!They are going to use this to destoy the second Amendment ..the political machine is already gearing up to exploit the incident as a tool to demonize the second amendment and characterize Americans who are against big government as extremists.

I can almost hear "the The UN treaty will save us,” ....
