>>> some of the victims were in that courtroom today. nbc's kate snow has an update on the survivors and more on some of those who lost their lives. kate, good evening.
>> reporter: good evening to you, brian . last night there was a huge vigil here, a prayer vigil. thousands of people sang "amazing grace" together united in pain. they're trying to heal together but today many of them took time out to confront their nightmare. david sanchez was supposed to be at a maternity ward this morning awaiting the birth of his grandson.
>> we never thought we'd have to be part of something like this.
>> reporter: but his pregnant daughter katy asked him to come here instead to be her eyes and see the man who they blame for destroying what should have been a joyous time. katy and her husband were huge batman fans. she wouldn't miss opening night even nine months' pregnant.
>> they had batman apparel on and had been waiting for this movie for over a year.
>> reporter: but now her husband caleb is in a coma and tonight she is in labor at the same hospital.
>> when it's your own daughter and she escaped death by just mere seconds i would say it really makes you angry.
>> reporter: angiotte mora and his brother-in-law wanted to be at the hospital too.
>> i just wanted to see his face.
>> the only time he and his wife and son could have family could have movie night was the midnight showing. they accidently ran toward the shooter as they tried to escape.
>> i thought there was no chance to get out. i thought i was going to die there.
>> reporter: he made it out. even helped carry a man to safety. jessica ghawi wasn't so lucky. her friend called jessica's parents from a theater.
>> i was awakened by the most horrific scream i've ever heard in my life. i thought somebody was in the house.
>> reporter: this air force technician, injured in the hand, believes jesse childress gave his life to save hers. he threw himself in front of her when the shooting began.
>> i feel really sorry that he's gone, that none of us were able to at least hold his hand and look him in the eye while he passed.
>> reporter: we now know an aurora policewoman stayed with 6-year-old veronica moser sullivan in the chaos. photos of that little first grader have captivated the world, forced parents like cheryl growner to take a moment to explain the horrific events of that day to her three young children.
>> i tried to explain it as easily as i can, but it's really hard because you want to preserve their innocence. and things like this, it's difficult.
>> reporter: family members of victims who are in an overflow room at the courthouse here today tell us it was intense in there not just because of what they were seeing and the alleged shooter but also there were moments, brian , where things got heated. in fact, the father of the little 6-year-old girl who was lost, he at one point yelled out, demanding justice. brian ?
>> kate snow , on another awful day in colorado rounding out our coverage. kate, thanks.
