At least 14 people have been killed in a shooting at a Batman film premiere in the US city of Denver, police say.
About 50 people have been injured in the incident at the cinema complex in the suburb of Aurora.
Witnesses say a gunman wearing a gas mask opened fire during a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises.
A man was arrested in a car park nearby in possession of a rifle and hand-gun. He told police that explosives were stored at his home.
Police chief Dan Oates told reporters that an apartment block in the north of Aurora had been evacuated as a consequence of that information.
More weapons may have been left in the cinema, he said.

'No terrorism link'
The FBI, which is working with the police, say there is no terrorism link so far in their investigations, ABC reports.

“Dot” or “Feather” type of Indian?
On the news they are reporting him as a sole gunman, white male. 24 years old. In custody. This is quite at odds with the article you linked.
Just logged on and learned of this. That link talks of two gunmen.
Oh, here we go.. the FBI “assuring” us there`s “no terrorism link.”
Sounds to me like they`re setting the table for a very reluctant announcement of the shooter`s name, which will give away the ethnicity.

The area where the theater is is also a big gang area. I would think gang activity before terrorism in that part of town. Of course it is too early to determine much of anything
Eyewitnesses on local channel 9 being interviewed now, still saying two different people threw tear gas canisters, one from the front of the theater and one from the rear
7/11 or casino?

No terrorism involved, Obomba will say this was simply workplace violence.

Was his TSA handler with him?
Today is the start of ramadan. Wouldnt be surprised if it was a muzzie terrorist
That’s why I don’t go to the “Aurora Mall” even with the refurbishments and the name change.

"We have no evidence of a second gunman but obviously we are concerned about that."Police found the gunman out the back of the cinemas in possession of a gas mask and a rifle and a hand gun.
"There was another weapon in the theatre."
Perhaps this is why there is some confusion about the number of shooters.
Looks like they road-tripped from Tennessee (Murfreesboro?) to attack infidels in Aurora, Colo, the home of the Zazi terrorist family.
My heart breaks for those killed and injured, and their families....prayers to Colorado.
That said, how long before some libtard commentator blames Rush for this?
