A former Cary resident was among those in the Aurora, Colo., theater where a gunman opened fire on the audience during a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises." While the former Cary man, 27-year-old Steve Ostergaard, escaped uninjured, a Crystal Lake native who also was in the theater is missing.

John Thomas Larimer was at the midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" when a gunman opened fire on the audience, killing 12, Larimer's father, Scott, told area media outlets. But Scott Larimer and his wife have been unable to contact their son.

John Larimer was a sailor in the U.S. Navy, stationed in Aurora. The U.S. Department of Defense said earlier Friday that three members of the U.S. Armed Forces – two from the Air Force, one from the Navy – were wounded in the shooting, and a Navy sailor remained unaccounted for.
