A legújabb Batman film egyik premier vetítésén, Denver városának, Aurora nevű elővárosában, a Century 16 moziban tömegmészárlás történt. A rettenetes esetre helyi idő szerint este fél11 körül került sor.

A vetítés kezdete után kb. fél órával állítólag a vészkijáraton át rontott be a terembe egy fiatalember. A szomszéd moziteremben lévők először azt hitték, hogy a másik teremben vetített film effektjei hallatszanak át. Sajnos tévedtek, és erre már csak akkor jöttek rá, amikor a lövedékek áthatoltak a szomszédos terembe.

A tettes először a levegőbe lőtt párat, majd mielőtt a film közönségét vette volna célba eldobott egy  könnygáz gránátot, majd vaktában lövöldözni kezdett. Az elkövető gázálarcot és golyóálló mellényt is viselt, a könnygáz gránáton kívül kézi lőfegyvert és géppisztolyt is magánál tartott.

Az egyik szemtanú állítása szerint teljesen a gyilkos teljesen nyugodtnak tűnt, amikor feltűnt a moziteremben, megvárta amíg felrobbannak a könnygáz gránátok majd vaktában lövöldözni kezdett. - Az emberek a szinte egész mozit ellepő, fojtogató füst és pánik közepette próbálták elhagyni az épületet. Egyes szemtanúk véleménye szerint csecsemő, fiatal kisgyerek és tinédzserek tucatjai is tartózkodtak az épületben.

Jelenleg úgy tudni, hogy a helyszínen 10-12 fő, a kórházba szállítás közben 2 személy vesztette életét. A sebesültek és súlyos sérültek száma kb. 50-60 fő között van.

Az elkövető, a csupán 24 éves James Holmes, akit a rendőrök az esetet kővetően, a kiérkezésük után a parkolóban fogtak el. Az épület átvizsgálása után találtak még egy fegyvert. Ezen felül a gyilkos állítása szerint a mozi épületében, autójában és lakhelyén egy bombát is elrejtett, aminek hírére a lakcímén lévő ingatlan kiürítették a mozi épületét pedig alaposan átvizsgálták.

Az eset kapcsán külön segély vonalat hoztak létre,amit az áldozatok, szemtanúk is hívhatnak. A eset Baracak Obama elnököt is megdöbbentette, aki sajnálatát és támogatását fejezte ki az áldozatok és családjaik részére, biztosítva őket, hogy mindent megtesznek értük, hogy támogassák őket.

James Holmes, a mészárlás elkövetője. A 24 éves fiatalembert pár hete rúgták ki a Colorado Egyetem orvosi szakáról.

A Warner Bros. Pictures, a film készítői, sajnálattal hallották a szörnyű történteket és együttérzésüket fejezték ki a történtek miatt, az áldozatok é ssebesültek családjaik, hozzátartozóik és barátaik számára - szerepel a vállalat hivatalos közleményében. Továbbá a film július 20., péntek estére tervezett párizsi díszbemutatója elmarad. A film Magyarországi mozi forgalmazását nem érinti az esemény.

'Very deranged' gunman shoots 71, killing 12, at 'Dark Knight Rises' screening in Aurora, Colorado

By M. Alex Johnson and Pete Williams, NBC News

Updated at 2:59 p.m. ET: A black-clad gunman in body armor shot 71 people at a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" near Denver on Friday, killing 12 of them, in what the governor of Colorado called "the act of an apparently very deranged mind."

Many of the 59 people who were injured were critically wounded, police said.

The apartment of the suspect, identified as James Eagan Holmes, 24, had been booby-trapped with "incendiary devices" linked by wires, Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said. 

"It's nothing I've ever seen before," said Oates, who said the area was evacuated and that police were expected to remain on the scene "for hours or days."

Holmes, a graduate student from San Diego who was in the process of withdrawing from the neuroscience program at University of Colorado-Denver medical school, put up no resistance when he was arrested in a parking lot at the theater, police said. 

"We are confident he acted alone," Oates said of Holmes, who was scheduled to appear in court Monday to face unspecified charges. Authorities refused to speculate on his possible motive.

Oates wouldn't discuss how the gunman entered. But a federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press that the suspect bought a ticket and went into the theater as part of the crowd. He is believed to have propped open an exit door as the movie was playing.

The victims, who were being treated in six hospitals, included a 6-year-old child. A 4-month-old baby also was treated and released. The oldest reported patient was 45.

One of those killed was Jessica Ghawi, a sportswriter whosurvived a June 2 mass shooting at a mall in Toronto in which two people were killed and seven others were injured. Ghawi blogged under the name Jessica Redfield.

Buckley Air Force Base is in Aurora, and defense officials told NBC News that two Air Force reservists and two Navy service members were among those shot. Their identities and conditions weren't available, but defense officials said none was killed.

Authorities said the gunman appeared at the front of the theater at 12:39 a.m., about 20 minutes into the film, and released a canister of tear gas. Witnesses told reporters that the gunfire erupted during a shootout scene. He was apprehended within a minute and a half, Oates said.

"It was mass chaos," witness Jennifer Seeger told TODAY. The gunman shot the ceiling and then "he threw in the gas can, and then I knew it was real."

"I told my friend, 'We've got to get out of here,' but then he shot people trying to go out the exits," Seeger said. She said the shooter made his way up the aisle, shooting as he went, saying nothing.

The shooting occurred in the Century 16 Movie Theaters at Aurora Town Center. Aurora is a suburb less than 10 miles east of downtown Denver.

NBC station KUSA of Denver cited a witness as seeing a black-clad, 6-foot-tall man wearing a riot helmet, goggles and a bulletproof vest. Witnesses said the gunman entered the theater through an emergency exit door.

The suspect was found in possession of a gas mask, Oates said. Ammunition was found in the suspect's car, police said. Initial reports the car had Tennessee plates turned out to be wrong. 

Police name alleged gunman in Colorado theater shooting

Oates didn't say what kind of magazines were used, but he said "many, many rounds were fired." Some rounds penetrated an adjoining theater and injured at least one person, he said.

James Yacone, the FBI's agent in charge in Denver, said there was no early indication of a link to terrorism. Holmes wasn't on any federal law enforcement watch lists, authorities told NBC News, and Oates said he had no police record beyond a speeding ticket last year.

In his apartment rental application early last year, Holmes described himself as a "quiet and easy-going" student. A pharmacy student who lives in the building, which is reserved for students, faculty and staff of the medical campus, said he kept to himself.

"No one knew him. No one," the man, who asked to be identified only as "Ben," told The Denver Post.

The University of California-Riverside confirmed that a man named James Holmes graduated from the university with a degree in neuroscience in 2010. His last known address was in San Diego, it said.

The Poway United School District told NBC News that Holmes attended Westview High School in San Diego, graduating in 2006.

Experts: Mass killers usually seeking revenge

'Pain and grief ... too intense for words'Gov. John Hickenlooper said at a news conference that "our hearts are broken as we think of the friends and family of the victims of this senseless tragedy." He called the shootings "the act of an apparently very deranged mind."

"The pain and grief (are) too intense for words, but we can't let it keep us from our lives," Hickenlooper said. "We are going to come back stronger from this, but it is obviously going to be a very long process."

President Barack Obama cut short a campaign visit to Florida to return to Washington ahead of schedule.

He called for reflection after the attack. "There are going to be other days for politics," Obama said during an abbreviated appearance in Fort Myers, where he led a moment of silence on behalf of the victims and their families.

At a campaign appearance in Bow, N.H., Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney said: "Today is to remember and reach out and remember our blessings in life. Each of us will hold family close and spend a little less time thinking about worries of day and helping those in need of compassion."

'We need to go'Moviegoers described scenes of chaos and terror inside the movie theater.

anner Coon, who was in the theater with a friend and the friend's 12-year-old brother when the shooter came in, said he told them to "get down" when he heard the gunshots.

The shooter fired off about 20 rounds and there was then a pause and a "period of quietness when everybody started running out," Coon said.

"I slipped on some blood and landed on a lady. I shook her and said, 'We need to go.' There was no response, so I presume she was dead," Coon said.

At least three people had been treated for chemical exposure, KUSA reported.

Friday's incident was the worst mass shooting in the U.S. since the 2007 shooting on the campus of Virginia Tech University in Blacksburg, Va., in which 33 people died, including the gunman.

And it was the deadliest mass shooting in Colorado since the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999, in the Denver suburb of Littleton, just 15 miles west of Aurora. Twelve pupils and a teacher were killed and 26 other people were wounded before the two gunmen killed themselves in the school's library.

Further local coverage from KUSA

Paris premiere canceledReviewers of "The Dark Knight Rises," the third installment of the Batman franchise, have noted its dark, anxiety-fueled themes, which reminded some of the atmosphere in the days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It had been one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year, and theaters around the world began showing it at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

Warner Bros. canceled the Paris premiere, which was scheduled for Friday evening.

"Warner Bros. and the filmmakers are deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident. We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time," it said in a statement.

Chris Dodd, chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America, said in a statement:

"We share the shock and sadness of everyone in the motion picture community at the news of this terrible event. We extend our prayers and deepest sympathies to the victims, their loved ones and all those affected by this tragedy."
