There were hundreds of people enjoying the new batman movie at the Century 16 Theater in Aurora when gunfire broke out and terror swept through the crowd.
Some of those survivors are speaking out to tell the world what they saw as the tragedy unfolded in front of them.
On Friday, they describe the scene inside the theater, and the moments after the gunman opened fire in their own words in the above video.
As millions offer thoughts and prayers, the flags at both the White House and the U.S. Capitol have been lowered to half-staff.
