Twelve people are dead after last night's movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

One of those victims was a six-year-old girl and now the child's father is speaking out.

He talked exclusively with fox affiliate KDVR reporter Heidi Hemmat.

This stupid reported should get fired how is she allowed to take advantage of this poor guy! if I was the dad of a 6 year old I wish this guy was dead as well that's the only punishment I see suitable for such crime. And this reporter should be fired.

The Denver station has gotten so many complaints about this report. I can't believe your affiliate picked it up and ran it! It is disgusting to take advantage of this poor, suffering man. This reporter is heartless and it's obviously all about her and her career. I don't hold the Fox stations or reporter in much higher esteem than I do the shooter. He was victimized again!

This reporter was absolutely horrid. To say the things she said to a person who just lost his child is unconscionable. While tough questions may be necessary they can be asked with sympathy and compassion. This reporter obviously was so wrapped up in getting her "award winning" interview that she forgot she is speaking to a person who has just suffered a terrible tragedy. Act like a human being next time and not a robot.
