Mr Rohrs jumped over the seat with their baby son and said he considered playing dead. 'I'm trying to keep him low. And he's crying,' he told ABC News . 'People are running all over. I'm tripping and falling. I don't know if I laid him down or sat him down. 'I look up to see if I can run. I'm ducking, dodging, turning left, turning right. ... Every time you hear a gun shot, it's like 'Oh, I'm dead.'
'I'm just disoriented after I put him down,' Mr Rohrs said. 'I'm just waiting for me to hit the ground and fall down dead. You could see the gunfire and people are dropping.' He said he tried to retrieve his son but eventually jumped over the balcony and fled.
But Ms Legarreta saw Ethan as she lay on the floor with the wound to her leg that stretched from her upper thigh to waist. She pulled the infant to him and ran out the theatre with her daughter and baby boy - only realising she had been hit when she made it outside.
Mr Rohrs said he was horrified to realise his fiancee, son and daughter when he made it outside. 'My son's still in there,' he told ABC News. 'My girlfriend is still in there. I'm out here. Who leaves their child there?'
The couple then reunited outside the cinema, after Ms Legarreta phoned her fiance who had driven away from the scene.

Well, either that part of the story isn't quite true or she's a very understanding woman.

We need many more news stories humanizing blacks. They've been stereotyped for years

You may be thinking of someone else. I'm not 'freshwheat.' Thanks very much, though.
