Just heard that the only victim identified so far...24 yr old girl...had been involved in another shooting a month ago.  Survived and blogged about how you never know when your life will be over....how sad that hers is now...I'm sure there will be many more heart-wrenching stories to come out of this, in addition to the wonderful bravery stories that are already hitting the news....so heartwarming to hear of those!

Lala Ribbon Queen: My heart goes out to all the families...I know what you mean how could anyone do this? A fun night out with family or a friend turn into a nightmare it breaks my heart...keeping all in my prayers.       

Jmaries: I loved the poem: Little White Lie

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 20, 2012 at 9:07am

Prayers going out to all the families affected by the shooting at the movie theater just after midnight last night in CO. Only 20 miles from the Columbine shooting. 12 people have died and 50 or more are injured. So sad that someone can do something like this to another person. And how can he walk in with guns, tear gas and a gas mask?
