Crystal Lake Man Missing in Aurora Colorado Movie Theater Shooting

Media reports state the Crystal Lake South graduate, now enlisted in U.S. Navy, attended the midnight moving showing and has not been accounted for by relatives.

 

Crystal Lake native John T. Larimer was inside the Aurora, Col., movie theatre for the midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" when a gunman entered and began shooting, according an article in the Daily Herald.

Larimer, a graduate of Crystal Lake South High School, is in the U.S. Navy and stationed in Aurora, Col., the Chicago Sun Times reported.

Scott Larimer, John's father, told the Chicago Sun Times that his family has frantically been attempting to contact their son who they believe went to see the movie with friends, also servicemen, the Sun Times reports.

Twelve people died in the shooting, and 59 people were injured. The Los Angeles Times is reported that a Navy sailor is believed to be among the dead. 

The Army Times reports that five U.S. sailors were known to be inside the Century 16 Theater Complex. One sailor was unaccounted for as of 5 p.m. Friday.

Colorado Police arrested the alleged gunman James Holmes in the movie theatre parking lot.

It was just announced on NBCchicago news that, John T. Larimer, was one of the victims that was killed in this horrific attack. May they find comfort during this difficult time, and may we as a community make sure to not only support here but in Coloardo as well. G-d Bless the victims and the wounded.

Why should the president make this tragedy a photo op for himself? Don"t the families have enough to deal without politician(s) giving there own political spin. Do something that will be less shameful then taking advantage of personal tragedies.How low can one go?

It is possible that there is no way the President can react to this tragedy without being accused of either NOT making a statement on the event or USING the event as a photo op? He'll receive criticism either way, so he has evidently decided the right thing to do is to make a statement of concern and condolence for the people involved.

I agree with Shirley. I seems that some will try to use the Presidents reaction to this tragedy in the same way that ol' Mr. Burns is accusing Obama.....an opportunity. In this case its not a photo-op, but rather a means to criticise!
