Walk into the UC School of Medicine's inmates, Duke and Scarlett? Johnson shook hands or greeted each injured person with a solemn face, and did not refuse the request of some people to take a photo, and some young fans did not seem to care about their injuries at all, not only gathered around to take a photo with Duke, but also posted it on the Internet through instant sharing or Twitter as soon as possible.

Nearly half a morning later, Duke and Scarlett? Johnson walked out of the University of California School of Medicine and was surrounded by numerous reporters at the door.

"Duke, what's your opinion on this?"

"The murderer is said to be imitating the Joker, is that correct?"

"Don't you feel like you have to take some responsibility for the films you make?"

"Are you here because you feel guilty?"

Some reporters and paparazzi also asked quite unkindly, "Are you here this time to do public relations for Warner Bros." ”

"I represent myself, not any company, and I hope that no one will maliciously speculate that this is a public relations campaign for the film."

Duke, of course, denied it, and then said sadly, "Words can no longer express the shock I felt, I think we may not really be able to understand the pain of the victims and their families, but my heart will accompany them." ”

Christian who came out next? The bells attracted a large number of reporters, and Duke, escorted by bodyguards, left the University of California School of Medicine in a car.

Before the official police report is released, he won't say anything casually, and the previous words are also Pani? Kelis carefully crafted.

The impact of the shooting was so great that even Washington authorities and the White House expressed concern, and the Los Angeles County Police Department held an official press conference at noon.

Los Angeles County Police Commissioner Apes Lee released a formal investigative report at this media briefing, saying that in the past 60 days. James? Holmes purchased two Glock 40-caliber pistols, a 12-caliber shotgun and an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle from a local gun store.

In the same period, James? Holmes buys more than 3,000 rifle rounds, 3,000 pistol rounds, and 300 shotgun rounds through the Internet.

"Also online, he bought multiple automatic rifle magazines, including one that we found at the crime scene with 100 rounds," Lipes said in front of media cameras. "The experts told me that with the help of this magazine, James? Holmes can shoot between 50 and 60 rounds in a minute. As far as I know, in that kind of theater, that's very fast firepower. ”

However, Lipes also confirmed that James? All weapons, magazines, and bullets in Holmes were legally purchased.

Then. Los Angeles police released their latest tally, which now confirms the death toll at 12 and the number of injured has been lowered to 58 from 59 previously reported.

Most of the dead and wounded were shot, and only a few were injured in other ways.

And that's not all. Lipes also gave an update on the case, James? After being arrested, Holmes admitted to planting an explosive device in his residence and setting up a trigger "mechanism" that forced the police to evacuate James? People in 5 buildings in Holmes' community.

Morning. Police, in conjunction with agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, cordoned off the scene and used a vehicle-mounted lift platform to approach the third-story apartment of a red-brick building. Break the window with an axe and stick a 20-foot pole into which a video camera can be used to look inside the house.

He described the apartment as being covered with electrical wiring. Cans are all over the floor, and wires are connected to "chemicals and combustion devices".

"What we're seeing is an unusually complicated situation," the police chief's eyes were red, and he clearly hadn't slept well last night, "it could take hours, or days, to crack it, and we don't know what to do with it...... I've never seen anything like it. ”

Los Angeles police have temporarily abandoned efforts to dismantle the explosive device, waiting for federal government experts to arrive at the scene.

The police did not identify James? Holmes's motive for the crime has not been found to be any indication of any link to terrorism.

However, James? Holmes's self-proclaimed "clown" has long been poked out by the media.

As soon as the press conference ended, some experts couldn't wait to jump out to be interviewed by the media, saying that this was a typical parody crime, and that the parody film should be mainly responsible.

At the same time, Duke and Warner Bros. also made separate public statements.

Warner Bros. issued a statement saying, "Warner Bros. Pictures is deeply saddened to learn of this shocking and tragic event. We extend our most sincere condolences to the victims of the tragedy and to their families. ”

Warner also announced that it will cancel its red carpet premieres scheduled for Paris, Mexico, Tokyo and other places, will not publicly announce the opening weekend box office of "The Dark Knight Rises", and will delete the shots and remarks involving guns and explosions in the "The Dark Knight Rises" pre-trailer.

"The shooting was a disaster, and I express my deep condolences to the innocent viewers who were victimized in the incident."

Duke issued a statement on behalf of the cast and crew of "The Dark Knight Rises", "I believe that movies are a great art form in the United States, and watching stories on the big screen and sharing the experience with others is an important and enjoyable way to entertain. The cinema is my home, and it was a disaster for me to see someone wreak havoc in the cinema in such a brutal way. No amount of words can adequately express our grief for the innocent victims of this shooting, but I just want to say that our hearts are with them and their families. ”

The incident caused great repercussions at the social level, especially Okuri Carbon, which has always advocated a ban on guns, almost immediately stood up.

After learning of the latest developments in the shooting, Okutan expressed "shock and sorrow" and expressed condolences to the victims of the shooting, and he also ordered the flag to be lowered at half-mast across the country for six days to mourn the victims. Including the White House, embassies and consulates outside the United States, all public buildings, military posts, naval base commands, naval ships and other places, all flags were lowered at half-mast for six days to mourn the accident, which caused serious casualties.

"Michelle and I are deeply shocked and saddened by this horrific shooting. My government will do everything in its power to support the families who have been hurt by the shootings and to work with them through this extraordinary time. We are in a time of darkness and challenge, and we must unite as one American family. ”

In the public statement, O'Black Carbon said, "The federal government will impose just sanctions on suspects and do everything in its power to protect the safety of the American people. We will never understand what caused the gunman to take the lives of others. This makes us feel the fragility of life and the preciousness of time. ”

The New York City Government and the Los Angeles City Government have also issued public statements, especially on the safety of theaters, "We will increase police forces in major theaters in the city to strictly check the crowd of moviegoers, so as to prevent the occurrence of imitation of the shooting at the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza theater." ”

Two of North America's largest theater chains, Imperial Entertainment and AMC, issued a statement saying that they would prohibit fans from wearing "costumes" that would make other audiences uncomfortable, or wearing masks and carrying fake weapons into theaters.

The incident is rapidly fermenting, whether subjective or appreciable, "The Dark Knight Rises" is impossible to detach from this incident.

Generally speaking, Hollywood producers release box office revenues as soon as the weekend has passed. However, this convention will be broken by the shooting tragedy.

Major Hollywood studios, including Warner Bros., Sony Columbia, Twentieth Century Fox, Walt Disney, Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, announced on the same day that they do not plan to release weekend box office revenue on Monday, and agencies that track box office also do not plan to release weekend box office.

Due to the shooting, Warner Bros. canceled the French premiere of The Dark Knight Rise, which was scheduled to take place in Paris, and decided to cancel the promotional event scheduled for Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, and Tokyo, the capital of Japan.

Not only that, but the incident also affected the stock market, and the stock of the exhibition industry across the United States fell by varying degrees on the day due to the shooting, with the shares of IMAX falling by nearly 6 percent, and the shares of AMG and Emperor Entertainment falling by more than 9 percent.

In the United Kingdom and Germany, many theaters have banned audiences from wearing the costumes of the characters in the film, and additional security personnel have been deployed in the lobby to monitor all movements in the lobby to ensure the personal safety of audiences.

It takes a certain amount of time for any event to ferment, and on Friday, the impact of the shooting is still expanding, "The Dark Knight Rises" has been affected to a certain extent, but the impact is not particularly large, although the North American box office on the first day of release did not meet the $100 million expected by Warner Bros., but it also got as much as $91.48 million!

And there have been a lot of unfavorable remarks about "The Dark Knight Rises" on the Internet and in the media, and there are rumors that Warner Bros. will delete the footage and remarks involving guns in "The Dark Knight Rises".

"Actually, it's another Warner film, which is an American gangster film in the thirties and forties, which is completely different from "The Dark Knight Rises", and has nothing to do with it."

Warner Bros. Jamie? Johnson also stood up in time to refute the rumors, ""The Dark Knight Rises" has other movie trailers before the screening, but it is actually a trailer about American gangster-themed movies that has been deleted in the United States, besides, "The Dark Knight Rises" has been released in the United States, how to delete it? Superhero films and cop movies will have shooting scenes, but in fact, "The Dark Knight Rises" has nothing to do with violence. ”

While Warner Bros. is trying to debunk the rumors, they and Duke are well aware that many people in Hollywood are on the move, and starting on Saturday, there will inevitably be a big battle between the parties. (To be continued~^~)
