Last I just saw they confirmed 14 dead, approx 50 wounded. The police say they set up a triage at a local high school, and many were taken to various hospitals.

Also, they think he saw the movie beforehand online because he released the tear gas at a point where it was being released in the movie; same for opening gun fire.

These poor people. Why? Disgruntled employee? Angry boyfriend? This is just senseless. This young man was either already unbalanced or something set him off.

God be with the survivors and families.

The three month old is alive at University hospital, no other news on condition of baby. Many are shot, but some are being treated for chemical exposure, no news link, watching on local news sorry.

There are no words to describe such a senseless crime. People enjoying a night out at the movie and something like this happens. A 6 year old child being shot at in cold blood.

Whatever justice this selfish coward POS will get, won't be enough.


Colorado has the death penalty; they have only executed 1 murderer since the the DP was reinstated in 1975. There are 3 men currently on death row:



This guy would certaintly be a candidate. My prayers for the families of these victims.

Oh, this just really, really, really pizzes me off so badly. Just who does this 2as5ard think he is? Just because he is a miserable POS excuse for a person he has to kill all these young people (baby & children)???????

Here it was a summer night out at the movie, and now mass death???? WHY???

This is exactly why I believe in the death penalty.

GB the families and friends of the victims, and heartfelt prayers for the injured.

I hope that some of you who are good at finding rap sheets will look this guy up and let us know what you find!

Tennessee plates, 24 years old...could he be a student from out of state? Ex-military, maybe? He had a lot of professional type gear, but I guess you can buy that stuff online.

Thanks ~n/t~.

Clean record. Not surprised. This one's a planner.

I wonder about his psych history? I'm guessing no drug problems.

So, what's his beef? Does he just get a kick out of orchestrating a massacre? Want to be famous for being a mass murderer?

His address is being repeated several times on the scanner. I don't have computer access now but a sleuther could start there. "Paris command" is the set up at his house.

Praying for everyone involved. So many people are hurting right now. There are some amazing stories of heroes coming out also though.

Law enforcement sources identify the Aurora, Colorado theatre shooting gunman as James Holmes, age 24 (born 12/13/87). Holmes had TN tags on the vehicle he was driving, and his apartment was close to the theater.

RUMOUR ALERT: Some are speculating that he has mental issues and was playing out the role of one of the characters in the movie. I didn't see the movie but the villain's name is "Bain" (?).

A San Diego woman who identified herself as James Holmes' mother told ABC News she had awoken unaware of the shooting and had not yet been contacted by authorities. She immediately expressed concern that her son may have been involved.

"You have the right person," she said, apparently speaking on gut instinct. "I need to call the police... I need to fly out to Colorado."
