Police are reporting that 12 people have been killed in a shooting at a midnight screening of the new Batman movie in Denver. The suspect, James Holmes, 24, walked into the theatre dressed in body armour while carrying three weapons, including an assault rifle. Witnesses say that Holmes entered a side door of the theatre wearing a gas mask and set off two smoke devices before opening fire. In addition to the 12 people who died in the attack, another 59 were injured. The death toll may rise because some of the wounds are being reported as being "serious". Authorities believe that Holmes was acting alone but are puzzled by the shooting because he was apparently "not on anybody's radar screen - nothing." At first, those attending the midnight screening believed that Holmes was part of the show. A number of details are still unknown because the investigation is still in its early stages.
