Stephen Barton, 22, was on a cross-country biking trip from Virginia Beach to San Francisco when he decided to take in a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colorado on July 20. Barton wound up surviving one of the worst mass shootings in American history with a shot in the neck, shrapnel wounds on his right arm and chest as well as cuts to his face. Coincidentally, Barton also lives just 10 minutes from the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. giving him a special insight into this latest tragedy.
Barton is currently working as a Policy and Outreach Assistant at Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group that is co-chaired by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He starred in an ad by the group that ran in Washington, D.C. and Colorado after the Aurora shooting.

She died.
There is more than one person on here with friends or family affected by this. Some just dont care to advertise it.
And no, those are not actors.
These theories are silly and disrespectful. There is more info that needs to be known about this, but there is not one shred of proof behind ANY of these claims that the event was faked.

Actually, there is plenty of evidence to suggest the incident was staged somehow. The girl Emilie is seen in both pictures with her family, and then at the memorial service, even though she is supposed to have died. And her sister, has had her legs chopped off, at least it appears that way in the PHOTOSHOPPED image.
Next, there were originally 2, then 3 shooters reported, then they disappeared,
and the examiner claimed the kids were shot by a rifle up close multiple times, and then it was claimed Adam Had handguns, and not rifles, and that was after it was originally claimed it was his brother and not Adam....so many inconsistencies so far, and you sit there like a sheep or a lemming. You should check yourself.

I understand your commitment to find a conspiracy behind every act that defies logic, the article has several typo's which is very uncommon for a media outlet. IMO I would venture to say that they were in such a rush to get the story out they made some errors. I find it hard to believe this incident was faked, staged etc.

They took the article away..
Here's all that they have now:
Shooting Reported Sandy Hook Elementary School
This Version of the same story which happens to be posted twice, about 23 minutes apart, is shorter.. Looks gutted. It was posted 12/14/2012 10:09AM, and Again almost identical same day 10:32AM..
The Article in the movie you posted with the SAME title was from the next day I gather. Where the principle is alive. But now she's dead? And the story is removed?
This is NOT making any sense.
Anyone know how to go back and grab the article?edit on 12/21/2012 by Dustytoad because: (no reason given)

Come on, people. This was already covered early in the week.
It was BAD REPORTING. Shocking, right? Someone assumed they were speaking to the principal but they weren't. We know how the media gets their facts straight.
But how did they get her name, then? Uh, school directory? Online?
I love a good conspiracy but this is just grasping at straws.
