A gunman wearing a gas mask opened fire in a theater near Denver, Colorado early Friday killing 12 people and injuring at least 58 others.”
Witnesses said the man released a canister of gas about 12:30 a.m., then began shooting. The FBI said there is no indication that the shooting has any connection to terrorism.

“Police, ambulances and emergency crews swarmed on the scene after frantic calls started flooding the 911 switchboard…”

Officers later found the gunman (in his 20s) near a car behind the theater with more guns and masks. At least 24 people were being treated at Denver area hospitals, some for chemical exposure related to the canister.

“The condition of things in the world shows that troublous times are right upon us. The daily papers are full of indications of a terrible conflict in the near future… Thefts and murders are committed on every hand. Men possessed of demons are taking the lives of men, women, and little children. Men have become infatuated with vice, and every species of evil prevails.” Testimonies, vol. 9, p. 11
