DENVER — Zack Golditch and Jordan Murphy have never met. Yet they share a strong connection through football and a tragedy inside a movie complex.
Golditch, a sophomore starting left tackle for Colorado State, was shot in the neck as he sat in an adjacent theater on July 20, 2012, when James Holmes murdered 12 people and tried to kill 70 more during a midnight showing of the Batman movie ''The Dark Knight Rises,'' in a suburb of Denver.
