Fans still headed to Cleveland theaters to see "The Dark Knight Rises" despite the recent shooting in suburban Colorado.

Andrew Bower called his best friend Friday to make sure he was OK. His friend lives in Denver, CO., and he wanted to make sure he wasn’t at the theater in Aurora where a gunman opened fire and killed at least 12 people and injured 58 others.

Maybe even ended it with minimal injuries or deaths.   more ›
