Colorado, in the western United States, suffered two of the worst killings in American history.
In 1999, two teenagers killed 12 classmates and a teacher at their Columbine high school. And in 2012, a heavily armed man had shot dead 12 people in a cinema in Aurora, during the screening of a film dedicated to Batman, “The Dark Knight Rises”.
