Backlash: Victims' Families Disgusted At Aurora Shooting Theatre's Re-Opening Invites The owner of the Aurora, Colo., movie theater where a gunman killed 12 people and injured 58 others last July recently invited the victims' families to attend an "evening of remembrance" and a movie, when the theater reopens later this month. In response, relatives of most of the people killed in the massacre are calling the invitation a "disgusting offer."
