A least 14 people were killed and dozens injured in Colorado early this morning when a 6 foot gunman kicked in a theater exit door during a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises and opened fire with an assault rifle.

The rampage occurred at a Century 16 theater in an Aurora mall outside Denver after the gunman apparently tossed a tear gas canister into the theater before opening fire.

14 people are believed to have been killed and up to 50 wounded, including a baby who was shot in the back


A 24 year old suspect, James Holmes., who was wearing a gas mask, has been arrested . Initially, some movies fans thought the gunshots were part of the film. Others thought “they heard firecrackers, then they saw the bullets flying,” she added, citing witnesses. Panicked moviegoers stampeded for the doors when they realized what was happening as the six-foot gunman clad in black continued to squeeze off rounds.

3 local hospitals were alerted to prepare for a “mass casualty” incident. Some of the 50 injured are in critical condition.

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane?
