British And Irish Tourists Die In Beach Horror

A gunman disguised as a holidaymaker has killed at least 38 people, including eight Britons, in an attack on a popular tourist resort.

Terrified sunbathers ran for their lives as the attacker, dressed in shorts and hiding his Kalashnikov inside an umbrella, opened fire on the beach in Port el Kantaoui on the outskirts of Sousse, Tunisia.

He then entered the Imperial Marhaba hotel through the swimming pool area, shooting people as he went and also threw an explosive, witnesses said.

Tourists in the sea and on the sand ran and barricaded themselves in their hotel rooms after gunfire erupted, while medics used sunloungers to carry victims still in their swimming costumes.

Mass Shooting In Panama City Beach 

By BigNewsNetwork.com, Mar. 29, 2015

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Florida - Seven students in their early 20s, many of them on spring break, were shot in a Panama City Beach, Florida home in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen described the scene at the house on the town's main thoroughfare, Thomas Drive, as "complete chaos."

Three of the 7 people shot were inside the home, one was outside, one was in the middle of the road, and two were on the other side of the road. It is understood there was a party in the house and many people were dancing when a lone gunman began shooting.

"We have about 100 witnesses or so that we are trying to separate and interview," McKeithen told WMBB. "We have a mess."

Deputies from 5 nearby counties and officers from the Florida Highway Patrol and Panama City Beach police were also on the scene.

Three of the victims were from Alabama AM University who were visiting Panama City Beach for spring break, while another 3 were from Mobile, Alabama.

Judge Allows Lawsuits Against Cinema Owner In Colorado Massacre

Keith Coffman, Aug. 15, 2014, Reuters.com

Aug 15 (Reuters) - A federal judge has again refused to dismiss wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits filed against a movie theater chain by victims of a 2012 mass shooting at a Colorado cinema where 12 people were killed and dozens injured.

U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson on Friday rejected a motion for summary judgment filed by lawyers for Texas-based Cinemark USA to dismiss the lawsuits.

Nearly 30 victims or the families of those killed or wounded in the rampage have sued Cinemark, owner of the theater complex where the massacre took place.

In general, the lawsuits claim Cinemark had lax security at its theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora when a gunman opened fired during a midnight screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises."

Jackson issued a similar ruling in April 2013 when lawyers for Cinemark argued that theater employees could not have anticipated having to deal with "a madman's mass murder."

"It would be patently unfair, and legally unsound, to impose on Cinemark, a private business in the entertainment industry, the duty and burden to have foreseen and prevented the criminal equivalent of a meteor falling from the sky," the motion by Cinemark's lawyers said.

The accused gunman, James Holmes, 26, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and is set to go on trial in December.

Cinemark, owned by Cinemark Holdings Inc, renewed its bid to have the case tossed, arguing that the plaintiffs have not developed enough facts to justify a trial, a notion that Jackson rejected.
