This week inside a Movie Theater after Vincente Montano attacked a family with pepper spray and a hatchet, he cracked open a canister of propane. Police say he also had lighter fluid, likely attempting to set off a bomb, but he was stopped in his tracks by an officer after pulling out a pellet gun that looked real. Immediately upon entering the theater, i was engaged with what i perceived to be small arms fire from a smallcaliber handgun. I turned to my right, and all i could see was the silhouette of a figure. I engaged that figure with one shot with my patrol rifle and immediately backed out. Montano was shot dead. He was homeless after struggling with mental illness, said to be angry, delusional and hearing voices. Deliberations resume this morning in colorado over the fate of theater gunman james holmes. Jurors got the case yesterday after closing arguments. Theyve already rejected holmes insanity defense and convicted him of murdering 12 people at that theater. Well, another death

Reporter right from the start, a jolting warning from trump, the only candidate refusing to promise not to run as an independent if denied
