The tragedy that played out in an Aurora movie theater Friday was ironically paralleled as a classroom learning experience in a medical school in Parker the same day.
Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine is in the middle of holding specialized classes in disaster life support for 150 second-year medical students. Along with response to natural disasters like hurricanes and floods and terrorist attacks, one of the scenarios being used to train the students is how to respond if a shooter fires at people in a movie theater and also uses a bomb in the attack.
“The irony is amazing, just amazing,” said Rocky Vista Dean Dr. Bruce Dubin.
If black ops were involved more than 12 people would have been killed. They wouldn't have been this sloppy.

I was wondering the same thing, because it's pretty typical that most college students are on vacation at this time of year.
So I went to the website for Rocky Vista University and downloaded their students' catalog (available from the Uni at this link (Note: 15 MB pdf file)
On page 23, it gives the dates for the academic schedule for the 2011/12 academic year:
The "Summer Term" from June 25 to July 27, 2012 is also the "Academic Break". ie the students are on vacation.
The only students who have academic commitments within this time are those doing OMS-III. These are third-year students involved in practical clinical work. (The catalog confirms this detail on page 30.)
According to the article, the students who were receiving this training (re an attack in a theater) were second-year students, and the Uni's own student catalog says they have been on academic break since June 25. So, why would second-year students have been doing this course last week, during their vacation?
Something is not right here.

His critical error lay in killing too many people too quickly while injuring far too few, thereby exposing himself for what he was: a highly trained combat shooter probably ranked among the top 20 such specialists in the western world.
Although we have no specific or credible information indicating that terrorists plan to attack theaters in the United States, terrorists may seek to emulate overseas attacks on theaters here in the United States because they have the potential to inflict mass casualties and cause local economic damage.
