AURORA, Colo. (AP) — A gunman opened fire early Friday at a suburban Denver movie theater on the opening night of the latest Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises," killing 12 people and injuring at least 50 others, authorities said.

The gunman, who is in custody, stood at the front of the theater and fired into the crowd about 12:30 a.m. MDT at a multiplex theater in a mall in Aurora.

"Witnesses tell us he released some sort of canister. They heard a hissing sound and some gas emerged and the gunman opened fire,"Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said at a news conference.

Police, ambulances and emergency crews swarmed on the scene after frantic calls started flooding the 911 switchboard, officials said.

Officers came running in and telling people to leave the theater, Salina Jordan told the Denver Post. She said some police were carrying and dragging bodies.

Officers later found the gunman near a car behind the theater.

"A gas mask, rifle, handgun at least one additional weapon (were) found inside," he said.

The suspect was taken into custody, but no name was released. Oates said there's no evidence of any other attackers. There was also no immediate word of any motive.

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.

He said police also checked for explosives in the parking lot and at the Century 16 theater and secured those areas.

Moviegoers spoke of their terror as violence erupted and people around them fell victim.

Bejamin Fernandez, 30, told the Post that he heard a series of explosions. He said that people ran from the theater and there were gunshots as police shouted "get down!"

Frenandez said he saw people falling, including one young girl.

Jordan told the paper that one girl was struck in cheek, others in stomach including a girl who looked to be around 9-years-old.

Jordan said it sounded like firecrackers until someone ran into Theater 8 yelling "they're shooting out here!"

Hayden Miller told KUSA-TV that he heard several shots.

Uncle Fester really creeps me out

sounded like a setup from the word go.Period.

Found this comment on Alex Jones page...I thought it was interesting so I came to share it here...Check this out guys:

the shooting happened in century 16 cinema, in theater 9…the shooter lives in 1690 paris street…the only place in the world that cancels the movie was paris… his licence plate was 119RDC thats 911 backwards…R is the 18th letter in the alphabet 6+6+6=18 DC are 4×3 =12 dead…lil wayne’s video My Homies Still… at 3:38 freeze and count the 12 skeletons in the movie theatre…freeze at 2:36 the all seeing eye… freeze at 2:13 the gas canisters go off…Defense Dept.: 2 airmen,1 sailor wounded and 1 sailor unaccounted for in Colorado shooting really 1 unaccounted for…? when this first started they were saying 14 dead latter it rose to 15 and the wound up with 12 dead and unaccount for soldier lets not let them get away with lies…the reason they like to leave 911 all over is revelations 9:11… Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is [Abaddon,] and in Greek, [Apollyon]–the Destroyer.

Any time they work on dark films like this something weird always happens. It's because the activity attracts evil spirits and influences to help the Devil and his demons get out their message. Just like in the making of the  movie "The Exorcist" or "Silence of the Lambs" they open a spiritual gate of fear and confusion.

WEST HOMESTEAD, Pa. (AP) — Police say nobody was arrested when a fight broke out during a Pittsburgh-area showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” prompting audience members to flee the theater.

Homestead police Chief Jeffrey DeSimone says his officers were called to handle crowd control at the AMC Loews Waterfront 22 theater during the incident shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday. DeSimone suspects patrons ran out of the theater because they were a little “jumpy” in the wake of a shooting that left 12 dead during a midnight premiere of the movie last week in Aurora, Colo.
