"The Dark Knight Rises" director Christopher Nolan has issued a statement about the shooting in Aurora, Colo., during a midnight screening of the film that left 12 dead and nearly 60 wounded.
"Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of 'The Dark Knight Rises,' I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community," Nolan said. "I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime.
