A horrific attack by a lone gunman at a midnight screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora, Colorado has left 12 people dead and wounded 38 others.

As events of the shooting spree unfolded in real-time on Twitter, tweets from among those inside the Aurora theater went viral.

On Instagram, Chris Rapoza uploaded a series of images of himself and the gunshot wound he sustained. His FaceBook update reads: I’ve been inspected by a number of paramedics and they’ve given me the okay to get to the hospital for stitches on my own. just wanted to get it out there now so that everyone knows i’m okay.

Hollywood celebs weighed in on the tragedy, expressing their shock and grief over the dozens of victims including a 4 month-old baby who was injured.

An aspiring Colorado sports reporter Jessica Ghawi was among those gunned down. Her final tweet- “Movie doesn’t start for 20 minutes” – was almost a chilling countdown to what was about to take over.

Following the Aurora shooting, Warner Bros. cancelled the premiere of The Dark Night Rises in Paris and pulled the film’s cast from all scheduled press cons and media interviews.

The shooter 24-year-old, James Holmes, was arrested in the Aurora theater parking lot. According to Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, “[Holmes] clearly looks like a deranged individual. He has his hair painted red. He said he was the Joker, obviously the enemy of Batman.”

The Brazilian model enjoyed a rare night off from her parenting duties as she hit Hollywood’s Lure Club with her stylist pal.

Any by that we mean he can’t stop using you to garner a little attention for himself.

It’s been two years since his divorce from Katie Price, yet the memory of Peter Andre’s marriage to her haunts his memories still. Peter was a guest on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories this weekend, and he opened up about how their relationship has scarred him for life.

He explained:

“I think that’s what hurts the most about what went wrong a few years ago. Because I’d just come from the worst place in my life. I’m not blaming anybody, but when I finally found happiness (with Price), it was the first time I’d felt good. I felt good about everything. I think that’s probably why I’ve never been able to (move on)… I’ve moved on in leaps and bounds in one way but in another way I’m still a bit tortured inside.”

Yes, breakups can be difficult.

But c’mon! Time to move on! This tortured soul bit isn’t really going to get you anywhere. Let’s try a different angle to get your career started again, okay?
