Families are being notified by police that their loved ones are among the victims in a deadly shooting rampage in suburban Denver.

Relatives of two of the dead confirmed late Friday that their loved ones were killed when a gunman barged into a crowded theater and began firing during the midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises."

The family of Alex Sullivan issued a statement confirming his death. He died on his 27th birthday.

Twenty-three-year-old Micayla Medek was also among the dead.

Her father's cousin, Anita Busch, says the sad news at least brought peace to the family.

The brother of Jessica Ghawi previously confirmed his sister's death.
