Some of which are in the theater Aurora, Colorado, when a gunman opened fire Friday morning Piers Morgan told CNN that day they ended with happy note with the marriage proposal.
Jamie said Patricia Rohrs Legarreta the question arises in the hospital after the shooting.
"He said," I know this is not the time or place, but will you marry me, "and I said, 'yes'," said Legarreta.
The couple received attention in the immediate aftermath of the shooting that left 12 people dead and 58 wounded as they went to the midnight show of "The Dark Knight Rises" with a 4-year-old daughter Legarreta and 4-month-old child.
Morgan opened the interview with the couple, told CNN viewers want to know why they would take young children to the movie at midnight.
"I took my kids to the movies all the time," said Legarreta. "4-year-old daughter We're excited I like Batman .."
That's a night out for families who recently moved to the area of New Mexico, he said.
"We decided at the last minute to go and get a ticket and go as a family to the movies," said Legarreta.
What happened was a nightmare.
Rohrs described how she lost her 4-month-old Ethan in the fire, darkness and smoke in the theater and how he must decide whether to look for baby or flee the theater itself. He chose the latter.
"Pray that he will not kill the 4-month-old you are," an emotional and trembling Rohrs said he thought as he fled the theater.
Once outside, he will be debated again to find other family members, but then he thought they might come out and he could leave the orphans when they come out and he came back and killed.
"Just please let them out alive. I do not want to live if they all die," Rohrs said he thought.
He then found Legaretta able to collect the children when he passes the theater, suffered minor gunshot wounds in the process.
Legaretta he feared the worst for Rohrs.
"Going through a 10-minute think he is dead and I never saw him again, you do not want that feeling again," he said as to why he welcomed the proposal of marriage.
