Default 12 Dead, 50 Injured in Shooting at "Dark Knight Rises" Premire in Colorado

The violent and chaotic scene erupted about 12:30 a.m. local time as the suspected gunman, identified as 24-year-old James Holmes, stood at the front of one of the Century 16 theaters at the Aurora Mall where the latest Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" was playing. Witnesses reported that the gunman entered the theater through an emergency exit door and threw a gas canister before opening fire.

Aurora shooting witnesses describe panic, chaos
Suspect in Colo. movie-theater shooting identified shooting

Police recovered four guns at the theater - one shotgun, two pistols and what is believed to be an assault rifle, a law enforcement source told CBS News correspondent Bob Orr. Authorities also recovered a gas mask.

Aurora Police chief Dan Oates said there's no evidence of any other attackers. There was also no immediate word of any motive. Federal law enforcement officials are being briefed on the attack, but at this point, there is no indication it is terrorism-related, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports.

The suspect spoke of "possible explosives in his residence. We are dealing with that potential threat," Oates said. Police were at the Denver-area apartment and had evacuated other residents of the building. Oates did not say whether any explosives had been found, but Orr reports that Holmes' residence was "booby-trapped" and police can see what looks like "buckets of extra ammunition" and some kind of chemicals, according to a law enforcement source.
I honestly don't know what to say at this point. It's an utterly reprehensible turn of events, and I don't see it getting any better by the time we puzzle out the man's motivations. There's going to be a lot of mudslinging in the near future, and I just hope no one else decides to bring a gun to that.

Odds are extremely high that this gets politicized. The Brietbart site has already stated he is a registered Democrat. The likelihood of them actually knowing that is of course slim but...in this current environment...I'm going to guess that facts don't really matter.

Also, where is Batman when you need him?

Fascist, Sif.

The media was going to eat this shit up regardless, politics just gives them another ratings-friendly angle with which to do it.

Well, this is just crazy. And what makes this even sadder is the fact that this guy was a Ph.D. student. And judging from the fact that he had all those explosives, weapons, and armor and was willing to use them does not really suggest that this was just a random act.

And because of this, the local theater decided to pull "Rises" for now.

I'm just annoyed that our news media is telling any crazies, "Hey, if you want to be the joker, inspire fear, and make things shut down on your account, go out and kill people, and we'll do all the advertising for you."

Like, this guy is getting exactly what he wants, and the news is reporting, "WHAT IF THERE ARE OTHERS WHO IMITATE HIIIM?!" Well, if you want to make him a rallying point for crazy people, yeah, there might be.

this is really bad in a multitude of levels...

Also a horrible horrible tragedy to happen, there is really nothing much to say then the fact that this sucks and that this kid was just a lunatic waiting for an excuse.

I flipped over to Fox to see how they were spinning it. Democrats didn't get mentioned once, although I noticed they couldn't do first grade math.

what

EDIT: Like, no really, can you clarify your position here? Are you suggesting that the media not report on tragedies, because they could possibly inspire other fuckhouse crazy people to do similar things?

Like... what? Really?
