Family members of the victims of the Century 16 theater shooting remember their loved ones during a vigil at the Aurora Municipal Center campus in Aurora, Colo., July 22. Twelve people were killed and 58 were injured in a shooting during an early Friday premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises."
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper read aloud the names of the 12 people killed in the shooting, and after each one the crowd chanted in unison: "We will remember."
Hickenlooper also deliberately avoided mentionting the name of the 24-year-old suspect, James Eagan Holmes, who allegedly wounded 58 other theatergoers. “I refuse to say his name," he said. "In my house, we’re just going to call him Suspect A.”

Among the 12 who died early Friday at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. were fathers, mothers, a little girl – even heroes. NBC's Kristen Dahlgren reports.

James Eagan Holmes, who allegedly wounded 58 other theatergoers.
What the hell has happened to us? We deign to label this mass murderer for what he is? ALLEGEDLY wounded and ALLEGEDLY murdered 12 citizens.
Are we so POLITICALLY CORRECT that we cannot define this miscreant, this obvious pawn for what he is? A MURDERER.. not an a l l e g e d murderer?
IF I owned the theatre where this carnage took place I would sue the hell out of this murder's family for all the reasons possible. He not only has ruined the business of this theatre but has cast a spell on every theatre in the world. And do you think for just one second movie goer's won't be 'packing' the next time they visit a movie house.
Another gambit by Holder and company to steal the guns from Americans? Yeah sure looks like it !
