Aurora fallout in LR
The mass shooting at a Colorado theater during the showing of a Batman movie left people antsy all over the country. In Little Rock, for example, police distributed this notice for the weekend after the shooting:
"Although the Little Rock Police Department has not received any known threats a Directed Patrol has been put in effect for all movie theatres in the City of Little Rock. From now until Monday, July 23, 2012, officers are required to check theatres in their respective districts and document each patrol.
"Should an officer receive a call concerning suspicious activity at a specific location, the officer will complete an incident report documenting the incident. All Directed Patrol documents, along with copies of incident reports pertaining to this directive, will be forwarded to Captain Michael Davis."
