APD: No Threats to Atlanta Movie Theaters

While authorities do not believe the early Friday shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Col. is linked to terrorism, the incident still put many Atlantans planning on seeing one of the summer's most anticipated movie's this weekend on edge.

According to reports from CNN, James Holmes, 24, of Aurora, opened fire using four different firearms inside the theater, killing 12 and wounding 38.

The Atlanta Police Department recently released a statement on this issue for concerned citizens:

“At this time, we are not aware of any ongoing or immediate threats to movie theaters. We are in constant contact with the FBI, and if that changes we would immediately act to notify theater owners and patrons and provide extra security. We have a working relationship with private security agencies in the City of Atlanta, and will certainly assist them with any requests for extra security or patrols to ensure the safety and peace-of-mind of their patrons. We are saddened and disturbed by what transpired in Colorado and our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, as well as the law enforcement and rescue personnel dealing with the aftermath.”
