"Christopher Nolan has issued a statement on the Aurora cinema shooting, labelling the attack &amp;quot;devastating&amp;quot;. On July 20 during a midnight screening of Nolan&amp;#039;s new film The Dark Knight Rises, a masked gunman entered the cinema and shot and killed 12 people, injuring 59 others.   Nolan said in a written statement: &amp;quot;Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community. &amp;quot;I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime. &amp;quot;The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me. &amp;quot;Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families.&amp;quot; Watch a CNN news report on the shooting below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
