The news also comes on the heels of end of the Aurora trial, in which the shooter has been sentenced to life in prison for the 2012 shooting.

.Laramie's Fox Theater, which is owned by the Regal Entertainment Group, is compliant with this policy. A local employee has confirmed that bags will be checked for firearms and alcohol before patrons are allowed to enter the theater.
