List of CO shooting victims (still developing)

I feel that it is the right idea to post something about the CO shooting. It is not sports related, but this is such sad news to read about.

James Holmes, the man that killed over a dozen and injured many others, was a 24 year old who was withdrawing from the University of Colorado at Denver, from a graduate program in neurosciences. Dan Abrams, reporter at ABC, says there are enough explosives in Holmes's house to take down "2 buildings."
