The "Aurora" case

The "Aurora" case refers to a tragic mass shooting that occurred on July 20, 2012, during a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colorado. The shooter, James Holmes, opened fire in the theater, killing 12 people and injuring 70 others. The incident raised significant discussions about gun control, mental health, and public safety. In 2015, Holmes was convicted of multiple charges and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The case has since influenced ongoing debates about gun legislation and the responsibilities of mental health care.
