| Dark Knight Rises Shooting |
Reports say that a gunman wearing a gas mask opened fire at around 12:30 a.m. local time inside Theater 9 at the Century 16 cinema complex at the Aurora Town Center in the Denver suburb.
The police said the 24-year-old gunman was later arrested in a nearby car park. A rifle and a hand gun were also found in his possession.
Local police chief Dan Oates told reporters the following during a press briefing:
As of now we only know of one gunman and we have noi evidence of any additional shooters. Police officers responded and found the gunman in the back of the theatre outside in the parking lot in his car in possesison of a gas mask and at least a rifle and a hand gun."An amateur video posted to Youtube shows people walking around outside the theater, purportedly in the moments after The Dark Knight Rises shooting. One man could be seen wearing a bloodstained shirt while some could be heard shouting. Check out the said video below below:
The shooting went on for some time as. We have approximately 50 injured and 14 dead. 10 dead in the theatre and four died at the area hospital.
The police response consisted of any one who was bleeding into police cars into hospitals....There may be some double counts.
The suspect is in custody and made statements about possible explosive in his residence. At this time there is a residence in a B=North Aurora apartment building which has been evacuated and we are searching for explosive inside there.
We are also concerned about explosives in the parking lot as it is [currently] sealed off.
