DENVER – The mediator who oversaw compensation for victims of the Sept. 11 attacks will oversee the distribution of money donated to the victims of the deadly shooting at a suburban Denver movie theater, Gov. John Hickenlooper said Friday.

The attack July 20 in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater during a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” left 12 people dead and 58 wounded. Crystal Lake native John Larimer, 27, was one of those killed. Larimer, a Navy cryptologic technician, was stationed at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora.

Hickenlooper said that Kenneth Feinberg won't be paid in his role as a special master overseeing the distribution of donations. Feinberg is taking the role "as a patriot in the purest way," the governor said.
