A teenager from Lincoln was among the people shot and injured at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater Thursday morning.

Twelve people were killed and 59 were injured when a gunman opened fire in a crowded theater during a midnight showing of the new Batman movie.

Lincoln television station KOLN-KGIN said that the teen, named Gage, was shot in the arm and taken to a hospital. He underwent surgery but was released a few hours later. Gage was reportedly in an adjacent theater and was injured by a shot that went through the wall.

Gage was part of a group of Lincoln parents and teens who were in the Denver area attending the National Friends of Stutterers Organization conference.
