Colorado Shooting Victim Suing Warner Bros For Making Violent Films

7/25/12

Torrance Brown, Jr. was at the theater when Holmes committed his crime spree. He was not shot at but claims to have extreme trauma. He is targeting three defendants: the theater, Holmes' doctor, and Warner Bros.

Here is what the TMZ says:

One of the victims in the James Holmes mass murder spree has lawyered up...

Torrence Brown, Jr. was in Century 16 Theater when Holmes let loose. One of Brown’s best friends, A.J. Boik, was shot in the chest and died. Brown, who was not physically injured, claims to now suffer from extreme trauma.

Brown has hired attorney Donald Karpel to rep him. Karpel tells TMZ … he is targeting 3 defendants.

1. The theater. Karpel claims it was negligent for the theater to have an emergency door in the front that was not alarmed or guarded.

2. Holmes’ doctors. Karpel says it appears Holmes was on several medications — prescribed by one or more doctors — at the time of the shooting and he believes the docs did not properly monitor Holmes.

3. Warner Bros. Karpel says “Dark Knight Rises” was particularly violent and Holmes mimicked some of the action. The attorney says theater goers were helpless because they thought the shooter was part of the movie. Karpel tells TMZ, “Somebody has to be responsible for the rampant violence that is shown today.”
