I tried to call him, but no answer, so I looked at his facebook. He had just posted an update saying he was okay. He and his girlfriend had planned on going to that screening, but she had gotten sick at dinner. They gave the tickets to his little sister and her friend. They were there, but were thankfully unharmed.
This is a horrible thing. My heart goes out to all the victims and their families.
Goodness, that's rough. I'm glad everyone is alright.
I really can't even begin to understand the kind of mindset a person must have to commit such a horrible act. I can guess the guy is probably some form of sociopath, but what could possibly motivate somebody to such a random act of horrible violence?
More psychopath than sociopath, but possibly a psychotic break. That's what seems to fuel a lot of spree killings or mass murders. There is the possibility that whoever did this did it for fun, or just to cause as much pain as possible.
