Aurora’s Latino Community responds to theater massacre
|
By McKenzie Romero
In Aurora, Colo., which by community estimates is more than a third Latino, none of the 12 midnight moviegoers killed in the July 20 Century 16 Theater massacre were Latino. Nor were the several initially identified in media accounts as injured. No official list of the 59 hospitalized by 24-year-old gunman James Holmes was immediately released. Aurora’s Latino community was quick, however, to reach out to survivors. David Sánchez told the story of his daughter and son-in-law in theater 9 when James Holmes opened fire.
