Mass shooting at 'Dark Knight' screening in Colorado.


*Ive been looking up footage on youtube of what happened last night. This interview tugged at my heart. I lost it when he talked about the little girl. *

When I wake up in the mornings, first thing I do is check my phone to see what time it is. Then I check my email, twitter, instagram, etc. I was shocked this morning when I woke up to see twitter flooded with tweets about a shooting in Colorado. I kept on reading different tweets and here are some that broke my heart....

Eyewitness tells that gunman was dressed in SWAT-like outfit, methodically shot people as they tried to exit room
University Hospital confirms the youngest patient admitted from is 3 months old.
Youngest child taken to hospital as a result of shooting at the theater is a 6-year-old
Update: At least 14 dead, 50 injured in mass shooting during screening of Dark Knight Rises in Colorado -

My heart not only goes out to the parents, children, friends, grandparents, schools, businesses, those who were in the theatre that will never be able to forget the details of what they saw, smelled, or heard... but my heart also goes out to all the doctors, nurses, EMT's, child life specialists, and other medical professionals that were involved. It is always tough dealing with just one trauma or a bereavement in a single night... I cant even fathom what they went through early this morning. Times like these really make me miss my internship. I loved working in the ER and helping children and family members through extremely tough and challenging times. So many people were affected by this one man's actions this morning.

People need Jesus more than ever right now. It is so sad to see what this world is becoming. Please come back soon, Jesus.
