DENVER- Aurora city officials are moving forward with a $250,000 plan to study the response time of emergency responders, following reports of delayed medical respond inside the theater.

Radio transmission recordings indicate ambulances were dispatched to the scene withing 3 minutes of 911 calls.

It's unclear whether or not police efforts to secure the theater prevented medical personnel from going treating the wounded inside the theater.

Officials say findings in the report could be released in as soon as 6 months, unless a gag order issued by a judge prevents responders from speaking to researchers.

A total of 12 people were killed and 70 injured during the shooting last July.

Notice there is no study or investigation into the Healthcare/Marxism complex that funded this massacre and provided the mind altering psychotropics that desensitised the perpetrator to conducting such a malicious act.

Work is a four letter word for everyone, even those that don't work. If you know of a different way to spell it please enlighten the ignorant among us. Other wise you points are well made, but the last sentence added nothing to you comment.

This shouldn't be a big deal. Any competent professional organization should ALWAYS be studying it's performance so it can improve. Bureaucrats like to demand extra money to do what they should be doing routinely. "Work" is a 4-letter word for people with a government paycheck.
