After 12 people were killed and 58 injured in Friday morning's shooting, the town of Aurora, Colo., was quick to come together in consolation. A vigil formed across the street from the movie theater where the massacre occurred, with people laying crosses, flowers, and candles out for the victims.
Gathered here are images of the reaction to the shooting in Colorado and in D.C.
