Washington, July 29 (ANI): The Aurora theatre in Colorado, USA, where a shooting incident took place during the screening of the new Batman movie, 'The Dark Knight Rises', is offering to pick up the funeral expenses of the victims' families.

According to TMZ.com, Cinemark, the corporate owners of the Century 16 Theater, where suspect James Holmes killed over 14 people, held several funeral services in Aurora.

The owner of the chapel, where the funerals took place, said that Cinemark expressed its willingness to provide financial backing to all victims' families, by paying any funeral expenses not covered by the Crime Victims' Compensation Fund.

Over 58 people were injured after two masked men set off smoke bombs and started shooting randomly during the midnight screening of the movie at a Denver movie hall. (ANI)
