Two things: One Bad, one good
Saw this article this morning
Police in Maine stopped a man for speeding
who admitted that he was on his way to shoot a former employer in New Hampshire and that he had attended
The Dark Knight Rises on Saturday with a loaded gun in his backpack. Though a public safety spokesman said 49-year-old Timothy Courtois gave no indication that he intended to use a weapon inside the theater, police made disturbing findings inside Courtois's vehicle and apartment that at least suggest he was a potential copycat. They discovered clippings about
the massive Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting in his car, in addition to an AK-47, four handguns, and several boxes of ammunition.
According to a
Boston.com, police also found a banned fully automatic Russian assault rifle plus and 8,000 to 10,000 rounds of ammunition at his residence. He faces charges for speeding and carrying a concealed weapon and is being held on $50,000 bail. “State and federal authorities are now trying to determine what ... Courtois was intending to do with the arsenal,” the Maine Department of Public Safety said in a statement. Clearly Courtois was not merely preparing for the zombie apocalypse.
And this later:
Warner Bros., the studio behind
The Dark Knight Rises, is making a donation to charities supporting victims of the Aurora, Colo., shooting rampage.
Sources tell
The Hollywood Reporter that the studio has been in contact with Colorodo governor
John Hickenlooper's office and will contribute to a fund identified by the governor on the website
givingfirst.org, which is a program of Colorado's Community First Foundation. The fund distributes monies across several charities that will support victims of the July 20 killing spree that left at least 12 dead and dozens injured.
