(CNN) — A heavily armed gunman attacked an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater early Friday, tossing tear gas before opening fire on the terrified audience and killing 12 and wounding 38, authorities said. The theater was showing the new Batman movie, “The Dark Knight Rises.”
One of the injured was just 3 months old, hospital workers said.
The shooting unfolded inside a darkened theater packed with Batman fans, some in costume for the movie’s premiere. Screaming, panicked moviegoers scrambled to escape from the black-clad gunman, who wore a gas mask and randomly shot as he walked up the theater’s steps, witnesses said.
The shooter used at least four guns — an “AK type” rifle, a shotgun and two handguns, a federal law enforcement official told CNN. The official also said the shooter used tear gas.
Police quickly arrested a man believed to be the shooter in a rear parking lot of the theater, Frank Fania, a police spokesman, told CNN.
“He did not resist. He did not put up a fight,” Fania said. Police seized a rifle and a handgun from the suspect, and another gun was found in the theater, he said. It was unclear where law enforcement found a second handgun.
Two federal law enforcement sources involved in the investigation identified the suspect as James Holmes, 24, of Aurora, Colorado.
The suspect was tentatively scheduled to appear in a Colorado courtroom on Monday, although no formal charges have been filed, according to the Colorado Office of the State Court Administrator.
… and i’m going to go see it tonight too.
ugh.
i’m sitting next to the emergency exit when i go.
everyone else,

rip to the lives lost.
It’s now up to 71 people – 59 injured, 12 dead. He planned this. He had a gun that could carry 100 rounds – 100 rounds!! This mofo planned this massacre & he should suffer a slow painful death.
Sure it was planned, and he his ass will be in prision for life, that’s if he doesn’t get the death penalty, I’m not sure if hey do that in Colorado.
This shows that education doesn’t mean a thing. ol boy was going for his PhD until he withdrew. .
I am sick of this.
I know this isn’t the first tragedy….hell a couple miles away a decade ago, two Columbine students took innocent lives.
I am sure something like this is going to happen again.
What was going on in this dude’s head to kill these innocent people? Why did he have to hurt so many people.
It burns my skin when I hear about stuff like this.
this shit happens every day ALL day. In the hoods, in foreign countries….
This is why you have to be careful how you treat people. God have mercy on dude’s soul man..
I woke up to this story early this morning and it still saddens me. My heart and prayers go out to the affected families and friends. Damn shame.
