If It Bleeds, It Leads

The Romneys must surely be breathing sighs of relief now that media attention is focused away from them to the godawful tragedy in Aurora, Colorado.

Unfortunately, the shooting suspect didn't kill himself, so we are likely to be treated to 24/7 coverage until something else comes along to divert media attention.

The violent and chaotic scene erupted about 12:30 a.m. local time as the suspected gunman, identified as 24-year-old James Holmes, stood at the front of one of the Century 16 theaters at the Aurora Mall where the latest Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" was playing. Witnesses reported that the gunman entered the theater through an emergency exit door and threw a gas canister before opening fire.

"Then it was a blur," Spenser Sherman told "CBS This Morning" said. "Then I heard a couple gunshots."

"I thought it was part of the movie, like a fun little prank - that it would be over in a few seconds. It obviously wasn't."

She said she only saw a silhouette of the suspect, and that the gunman said nothing.
