Rockers React On 'Dark Night Rises' Shooting In Colorado

Earlier today many people gathered up at Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. No one attending the theater knew the tragedy that was coming to them. It is understandable, you go to the movies, you don't expect anyone to be killed right? Well that's exactly what happened! An armed man came in with a gas mask shot at random people and threw tear gas. Was anybody hurt? Who was this man? This man turned out to be a student at the University of Colorado Denver's graduate program in neurosciences. He sounds like a good man doesn't he? While being arrested he said he "was the joker." His name is James Holmes and he claims to be the joker. I think that there is a possibility that he is an obsessed batman  fan that took things too far or was mentally unstable. If he was mentally unstable, wouldn't his colleagues know? Details are still being released so to learn more just watch the news. Yes, people were hurt and some were killed. 12 people were killed and 59 people were wounded, among them was a baby of three months! Our music community woke up to this terrible incident and many of them including, Nikki Sixx, Slash, Joe Perry and others responded to this tragedy through twitter. Here's what they tweeted:
