Remembering the Colorado Shooting Victims Twelve people were killed and 58 were injured in Aurora, Colo., during a sold-out midnight premiere of the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" when 24-year-old James Holmes allegedly unloaded four weapons' full of ammunition into the unsuspecting crowd. The number of casualities makes the incident the largest mass shooting in U.S. history. Here's a look at those who died: Jessica Ghawi A young woman who was shot and killed while attending the Aurora, Colo., midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" had narrowly escaped a shoot-out in a Toronto mall last month. Jessica Ghawi, an aspiring sportscaster, was killed when 24-year-old James Holmes allegedly burst into the movie house early this morning and methodically began shooting patrons, killing at least 12 and injuring at least 50. Ghawi's mother Sandy Phillips said her daughter texted her from the theater: "[She] texted, 'Mom go get some sleep, get some rest, I'm so excited about your visit next week. I need my mama. And I wrote back and said, 'I need my baby girl.' Ghawi, who had recently moved from San Antonio, Texas, to Denver, had narrowly escaped a June 2 shoot-out at a Toronto food court that killed one person. "She had an epiphany at the moment that it could happen to any of us at any time and instead of being afraid of that she embraced life even more fully," Phillips said. Alex Sullivan On a day that should have been marked for celebration, Alex Sullivan's friends and family hadn't been able to reach him. A family friend has now confirmed that Alex Sullivan is among the people who died in the theater shortly after midnight, allegedly at the hands of suspect James Holmes.
