Happy Ending for Aurora Shooting Victim
How a romance was rekindled from the tragedy of the Aurora cinema shooting.
One July evening three years ago, the latest Batman film was showing at a cinema in Aurora, Colorado. 18 year old Bonnie Kate Pourciau was in the audience with a friend. About fifteen minutes in, a man wearing body armour and a gas mask opened fire, killing 12 people, and wounding seventy - including Bonnie Kate. The gunman was sentenced last month to life without the possibility of parole. Bonnie Kate spent months in hospital, and is still in pain. But there has been a happy ending - the incident rekindled a romance with a boyfriend she'd dumped some months before, film maker Max Zoghbi. Jo Fidgen has been speaking to both of them from Nashville.
