(ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />The Aurora community gathered together on Friday (July 20) in a candlelight vigil to mourn the dozen people killed and scores of others wounded when a heavily armed gunman opened fire at a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises."<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) MONIQUE ANDERSON, MOURNER, SAYING:<br/> <br />"My daughter and I have lived here pretty much her whole life. She went to Gateway. We just live a block from here. It was just<br/> <br />shocking to wake up this morning and see that this had happened right down the street from us. There were a lot of people that she went to school with that were in that theatre and we're still waiting to find out about them."<br/> <br />The shooting at the Century Aurora 16 movie theatre allegedly was committed by James Holmes, a UC Riverside graduate who was taken into custody in the theatre's parking lot shortly after the gunfire broke out. The gunman wore what appeared to be a bullet-proof vest and riot-type mask as he opened fire in the theatre with three weapons.<br/> <br />Residents gathered, still trying to come to terms with the tragedy.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) JAMIE BENNETT, MOURNER, SAYING:<br/> <br />"I have been a resident of Aurora for 40 years and I want my city taken back from evil. Whoever did this was evil. That is my theatre, where I take my granddaughter and where I've gone for years. All those people that died are in heaven. I believe that thoroughly."<br/> <br />Time Warner-owned Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, faced the prospect of seeing the blockbuster sink at box offices after the shooting, even as the film got off to a strong start across the United States and Canada.
