Gun Sales Spike in Colorado After Fatal Shooting Spree 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
Local weapons dealers and government officials are reporting a spike in
gun sales in Colorado in the aftermath of last week's shooting rampage
in Aurora. The number of potential gun owners seeking background checks
increased 43 percent over the weekend from the week before. On Tuesday,
Christian Bale, the star of "The Dark Knight Rises" — the film
that was screening when the attack occurred — visited survivors
and their families at a local hospital.
