Comedian Injured in Aurora, Colorado Shooting

A stand-up comedian was gravely injured in the tragic shootout that happened during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado Friday.

LaughSpin reports that Caleb Medley was struck in the face and as a result lost his right eye, has suffered some brain damage and is currently in a medical induced coma. Medley is an up-and-comer in the Denver comedy scene. The night of the shooting he was a contestant in Denver’s largest comedy contest and was set to advance to the next round.

According to Medley’s website he attended the premier with his pregnant wife as a final treat before they “officially” became parents as their son was due on July 22. The wife and unborn son both made it out uninjured.
