Truly nightmarish.

I was thinking about Katya -- are you still around? Who else is from the Centennial State?

Thank you for starting this thread Rita. Such senseless violence with so many innocent lives lost and families destroyed. I just don't understand. Prayers for all those affected.

Sickening. And trying to blame the action on a film? Cheap.

My heart goes out to everyone touched by this... there are no adequate words.

I do not understand these things.

My heartfelt condolences to anyone in Colorado.

It's horrible. I don't even know what to say. My home state is not having a very good summer.

DH and I just had lunch in that area last week on our way to the airport.

I hadn't read the news yet, when I saw your post this morning Modgirl - and I was totally shocked and saddened to hear what happened. As soon as I got my coffee, I ran to my office, not even awake yet, still in my bathrobe - all excited about reading Angie's picks for NAS and when I saw this, the whole day just seemed terrible.

Sending along my condolences to Coloradans and everyone affected by this. This is just awful, and I wish there were some way to stop and prevent these horrific things from happening.

Colorado seems to be having an extra-tough time lately - between the fires in Colorado Springs, and now this. Extra hugs, prayers and compassion for those who really need our support right now.

My heart goes out to those families -- such a senseless tragedy

My own 22-yo dd went to a midnight show here in Minneapolis last night, and today when I spoke with her, I could tell she was realizing how that could have been ANY person sitting in ANY theater, ANYwhere across the country . . .

I actually just heard this on the news a couple of hours ago...I was just stunned.

Modgirl, I am so glad that you took the time to mention it here. What a horrible tragedy. Someone needs to figure out what is pushing mentally ill people off the edge. It just doesn't seem to stop.

All those families are in my prayers. I hope that they have strength to get through the next few weeks and my thoughts to the shooter's parents.

This just makes me cry. My heart and prayers go out to all those people.

When I saw the headline in the newspaper this morning I immediately wondered if any YLFers were from this area and affected by this pointless tragedy. But of course we are ALL touched by these terrible events indirectly, so let's reach out to our friends and family and let them know we love them today. And live each moment to the fullest, because there are no guarantees for tomorrow.

Modgirl,
Thank you so very much for starting this thread! As soon as I heard the breaking news, I wanted to do the same, 'cos I've discovered just what a wonderfully supportive community this is, but as a newbie, I was afraid of going so far OT. Now I know that you super folk know when there is something even more important than fashion to post about. I'll have more confidence in future, though I sincerely hope it won't be necessary to post about a horrendous tragedy like this one!

To all the people of Colorado, and elsewhere, who have been affected by this, please know that millions of French people are reeling from the shock, but standing shoulder to shoulder with you, and remembering you in their thoughts and prayers.

Such a terrible, sad waste

I'm suddenly grateful for the bag checks and scanners we go through to get into a movie hall in an Indian metro.

I know it's going to dampen many people's excitement over this much-awaited film as it has here in India today and perhaps sour the viewing even when they do get around to it eventually --- but oh, the horror of what those families are going through! Everything else just pales in comparison. Especially those who have lost a child to this

I saw comments on a few sites indicting the parents for bringing babies and young children to this movie, that too past midnight. I can't begin to fathom what kind of person can first of all turn around and blame the victim in a situation like this. ::shaking head in disbelief:: As for the person who insisted on another forum that this is why, rather than gun control, every US citizen needs to carry arms, because then someone could have retaliated or this chap wouldn't have dared because they wouldn't then have been sitting ducks... well, that left *me* pretty darn speechless.

Oh, it makes me so sad.

My boyfriend was just visiting one of his friends who lives in that very town a few weeks ago.

It's hitting home for me since in Seattle, we've had our share of gun violence this year, and I just feel ill at the thought of it all.
