Colorado Movie Theater Not Liable for 2012 Mass Shooting

(CENTENNIAL, Colo.) — The owner of a Colorado movie theater could not have prevented a 2012 shooting that killed 12 people, a jury decided Thursday after victims argued that lax security allowed for the attack.

The six jurors concluded that Cinemark was not liable for the rampage, siding with the nation's third-largest theater chain in a civil case closely watched by the country's major theater companies. They deliberated for about three hours.
