" Madonna has been criticised for waving a gun on stage while performing &amp;#039;Gang Bang&amp;#039; at her concert in Denver on Thursday. The singer, who uses a fake gun to shoot a masked gunman as part of her &amp;#039;MDNA&amp;#039; show, has been branded insensitive for her actions at the Pepsi Center given the recent shootings in nearby Aurora.   Masked gunman James Holmes opened fire during a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises on July 20, killing 12 and injuring another 58. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re dancing and all of a sudden people started realizing what the song was,&amp;quot; concert-goer Aaron Fransua told the AP. &amp;quot;We all just stood there. Everybody who was around me all had shock on their face. I heard a lot of, &amp;#039;Wows&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Local radio personality Peter Burns, who lost a friend in the tragedy, added: &amp;quot;You could see people kind of looking at each other.  &amp;quot;You could hear people talking about it and it was little bit unsettling. I saw two or three people get up and grab their stuff and actually leave their seats.&amp;quot; Madonna&amp;#039;s rep Liz Rosenberg said there was no way to eliminate the scene from the show, claiming it would be &amp;quot;like taking out the third act of Hamlet&amp;quot;. Madonna, who has courted controversy throughout the run of her &amp;#039;MDNA&amp;#039; tour, was advised to cut guns from the show by Edinburgh police in the immediate aftermath of the Colorado shootings.
