12 Shot Dead at 'Dark Knight Rises' screening in Colorado
In Aurora, Colorado, 12 people were killed and at least 50 others wounded early this morning when a gunman wearing a bullet-proof vest opened fire during a midnight screening of the latest Batman movie 'Dark Knight Rises'.
Many victims being treated in at least six hospitals were under 40, including a 6-year-old taken to Children's Hospital Colorado. The youngest person treated was a 4-month-old baby, who has been released. The oldest reported patient is 45.
It's been reported that the gunman had appeared at the front of the theater during the film and released a canister of tear gas. Witnesses told reporters that the gunfire erupted during a shootout scene.
"It was mass chaos," witness Jennifer Seeger said. The gunman shot the ceiling and then "he threw in the gas can, and then I knew it was real. I told my friend, 'We've got to get out of here,' but then he shot people trying to go out the exits." She said the shooter made his way up the aisle, shooting as he went, saying nothing.
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates initially told journalists that 14 people had been killed but the figure was later lowered to 12.
A suspect was apprehended in the shopping center's parking lot. He was named as 24-year-old James Holmes.
The suspect was found in possession of a gas mask. Ammunition was found in the suspect's car. He had three weapons: an assault-type rifle and two handguns. Holmes' car has Tennessee plates but authorities said he lived locally.
