The tragedy in Colorado is on the minds of most of us here in northern Michigan.

We've all been to the movie theater and thousands were at the same movie at the same time the massacre happened last night.

We talked with the owner of the Rialto Theater in Grayling who held it's own midnight showing of the Dark Knight Rises.

He says in the all the years of movie theaters with the large crowds, at night, in the dark, there's never been anything even close to this tragedy.
