Officer David Hartman, spokesman for the New Haven police, said officers will be assigned to a supplemental patrol around the Criterion Cinemas showing the movie, “The Dark Night Rises.” He wouldn’t provide details, but he said the measure was designed to help the public feel safe. “A presence will certainly be noticed,” Hartman said. “We are going to do what we can to make sure people feel as safe as possible.” Meanwhile, AMC Theaters said they will no longer allow people wearing costumes or masks into movie theaters after the devastating shooting. AMC said anyone wanting a refund in light of the new policy will be granted one. WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE THE THEATER? Ten people were killed inside Century 16 Movie Theaters at the Aurora Town Center in Aurora, Colo. Two others died at local hospitals when the gas mask-wearing gunman stood at the front of the theater and fired into the crowd about 12:30 a.m. local time, police said. converted by Web2PDFConvert.com A 3-month-old was among those hurt, CBS Denver reported. Police said earlier that 14 people had died, but later said that only 12 fatalities were confirmed. While some witnesses said the gunman entered through a side-door emergency exit at the front of the theater, a federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Holmes bought a ticket and went into the theater as part of the crowd. The official said Holmes then apparently propped open an exit door in the theater as the movie was playing, donned the aforementioned protective ballistic gear and opened fire. The attack was apparently so bizarre that some moviegoers at first thought they were watching Hollywood special effects. As smoke from the canister spread, audience members watching the movie saw the silhouette of a person materialize near the screen, point a gun at the crowd and begin shooting, apparently without a word. “Witnesses tell us he released some sort of canister. They heard a hissing sound and some gas emerged and the gunman opened fire,” Oates said. “There were bullet (casings) just falling on my head. They were burning my forehead,” Jennifer Seeger said, adding that the gunman, dressed like a SWAT team member, fired steadily except when he stopped to reload. “Every few seconds it was just: Boom, boom, boom,” she said. “He would reload and shoot and anyone who would try to leave would just get killed.” Seeger said she began crawling toward an exit when she saw a girl about 14 years old “lying lifeless on the stairs.” Police, In light of the shootings, will you still ambulances and go see this movie this weekend? emergency crews swarmed on the Yes. scene after frantic No. calls started flooding the 911 Vote switchboard, View Results officials said.

  • 2014 Accepted Research Papers (Alphabetical by Authors’ Last Name)
    2014 Accepted Research Papers (Alphabetical by Authors’ Last Name) Stephen A. Banning, Bradley The Whitechapel Club: Bohemian Journalists Shun Elitism in Nineteenth Century Chicago Recent research has revealed elitism among nineteenth century journalists, and a desire to self- identify as professionals. This is important to the development of journalism in that it emphasized university education, codes of ethics and professional organizations. These factors came to fruition in the early twentieth century with university schools of journalism at Missouri and Columbia University, the formation of Sigma Delta Chi and the American Society of Newspaper Editors and their codes of ethics. Bohemian press clubs seemed to contradict this, being the antithesis of the concept of a elite expert working class. Some of these clubs existed even late into the nineteenth century. This research examined Chicago’s Whitechapel Club in relation to how and why it differed from the elite press clubs. Katie Beardsley, Temple, and Carrie Teresa, Niagara Narrative Analysis of the Central Park Jogger Story in the New York Amsterdam News On April 19, 1989, a white female jogger was attacked and raped in New York’s Central Park. Although there were no witnesses or physical evidence to tie suspects to the crime, five Black and Latino youths were eventually arrested and convicted of the time. Existing scholarship on the Central Park jogger case has suggested that the mainstream press portrayed these five teenagers as animals who preyed on an innocent white woman. This paper fills a gap in scholarship by offering a case study of the narrative of the Central Park jogger case outside the mainstream press.
