Bettis said she recognized the gunman as her neighbor — whom she didn't know by name — and that before the initial slaying she saw him roaming outside with a rifle. She called 911 to report the man, but a dispatcher explained that Colorado has an open carry law that allows public handling of firearms.
i'll hazard a guess that this might have been an overreach on the part of a dispatcher that maybe cares a lil too much about gun rights
like, if someone's calling to report that a guy is walking around with a gun, that means someone is concerned about it enough that it probably merits investigation. i'm not sure something with such a potential for a bad (awful, horrifying) outcome as "guy walking around with a gun" is the sort of thing that a dispatcher typically has the discretion to ignore completely

Twitter is useless in these situations - half the people are talking about three separate grenade attacks near the stadium, half about one major explosion.

The BBC report still says it was at a Cambodian (presumably) restaurant:
At least one man opened fire with an automatic gun at the Cambodge restaurant in the 11th district.

French news are really on their toes and not saying much, I'm getting most of the stuff from UK/US and I am not certain I can trust it just yet.
That and why are websites like Mashable reporting on this, gtfo.
