Stunned star mourns fallen

Christian Bale, the star of “The Dark Knight Rises,” said he mourns for the victims of the Colorado shooting.

“Words cannot express the horror that I feel,” said Bale, who plays Batman. “I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them.”

Meanwhile, an unusual Hollywood alliance of Sony, Fox, Disney, Universal, Paramount and Lionsgate joined “Dark Knight Rises” distributor Warner Bros. in withholding their box-office numbers for the weekend.

President Obama said, “The federal government stands ready to do everything necessary to bring whoever’s responsible for this heinous crime to justice.”
