As some of our readers are aware, several S&R staffers live in the Denver area, and Managing Editor Mike Sheehan in particular lives very close to the site of the theater shootings in Aurora. I’m guessing most of my colleagues here have been hearing from friends and family around the country wanting to make sure everyone is okay, and we’ve heard from some in our audience, as well.
The good news is that, as best we can tell so far, the S&R family has been spared from this horror. The bad news is that once again, our community finds itself in the news for tragic reasons.
Our thoughts and best wishes go out to those in our community who were not so fortunate.
Thankful everyone safe.
Thank the Gods you are all safe. We are all left to wonder: WTF has been going on in this youngun’s head?
Clearly this is a kid for whom all is not right. I can’t imagine that a jury wouldn’t find him not guilty by reason of insanity in about 2 minutes. In no case should he ever see daylight again, though.
