“Words cannot express the horror that I feel,” he said Saturday. “I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them.”

Bill Voloch, interim president of Medical Center of Aurora,told the Denver Post that Bale spent about 2½ hours Tuesday at the hospital, where he met with seven of the victims. Five are being treated at the center; the two others came from Swedish Medical Center to meet with the Welsh  actor.

“The patients were really happy to meet Bale,” Voloch was quoted as saying. “They are obviously big fans of his movies. They wanted to see Batman and were really pleased to see Bale.”
