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.

So, still some conflicting reports there.
If anyone wants to listen in to local (Denver) radio here are some links:

Keep your eyes on the Kenyan bastard during this distraction.
He may try slipping some Executive Orders under the radar in the next few hours.
Thanks... that crossed my mind too..
This is why you carry a gun when you go out on the mean streets - and FU#& what the law says - because - The Law didn’t protect these people - The city cops didn’t protect these people - The State cops didn’t protect these people - The FBI didn’t protect these people - that little racist weasle Eric Holder didn’t protect these people - and that Marxist clown in Washington didn’t protect these people.
If the shooter had the apartment in Aurora, Colorado, but the car had Tennessee tags, it could makes sense that one of his terrorist buddies might have road-tripped from Tenn (Murfreesboro?) to help with the attack.
Also, Aurora, CO is the home of the Zazi terrorist family:

7:09pm: Moviegoer Hayden Miller says the assailant was wearing a gas mask and throwing tear gas.He says the gunman did not want to let anybody out.
"We heard 10 to 20 shots... and then management came on the PA system and put the fire alarm on and said everyone had to get out.
"As soon as we heard the shots go off, we figured it must have been a louder part of the movie next to us.
"This is a potential terrorist attack - I am at a loss for words."
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.
Bingo! My very first thought when they didn’t identify the shooter they arrested.
Since we got a 46” tv and blue ray player, we don’t do theaters any more. It is actually a WORSE experience than at home and much more expensive.
Apparently it is also riskier.
He was identified as Mohammad Alam, an Iranian immigrant; on another thread...
I am definitely carrying at the very least my .380 if I go to the movies. I am suggesting everyone to prepare to think like you are an Israeli, expect a terrorist attack at any place, any time.
People need to save these videos before they ‘disappear’...
I saw that too. It seemed incredibly fast for the gunman to be ID’d..wondered if it was photoshopped/faked. If not then we’re in for a scary time.
Peter Boyles (630 KHOW) just got a report that said the shooter’s name is James Holmes.
“FBI:’No terrorism link’
Wasn’t this the politically correct line they used with that Officer, who was a Muslim, Ft. Hood shooter?

We should probably ask; "Call Center Indian or Casino Indian?"
Looks like that blurb about him being Iranian on the youtube reference has already been scrubbed on the link to the TV stations report
