Confirmed, James Holmes was a former medical student at the University Of Colorado. Also reported he was a biology major in California. Did John Holmes snap, have a psychosis meltdown to cause this horrific tragedy? He was training to save lives not kill them.
Police are now at scene of his apartment but cannot enter due to it being booby-trapped with explosives.

Looking all over social media, no leads yet.
I think the reason he boobied trapped his apartment was when they finally found out who he was and where he lived he would go at their hands. He didn’t care that his neighbors would be killed as well. I think he just wanted see how many people he could take out with him.

President Obama Cancels Campaign Rally, Expresses Condolences for Shooting Victims
Friday morning, speaking to a crowd of supporters in Fort Myers, Florida, President Obama cancelled his prepared remarks and instead discussed the horrific movie theatre shooting that left at least 50 people wounded this morning in Aurora, Colorado.
“[Times like these] remind us of all the ways we are united as one American family,” he said.

I heard that this am. As soon as he opened his mouth I heard a heckler, but I couldn’t understand him. Did he use a teleprompter? He can not speak without one. He goes off on his own and his true colors show.
Former KDVR Intern Among 12 Killed in CO Shooting
One of the stories the Denver stations are following this morning is the story of Jessica Ghawi, an aspiring sportscaster who was killed in this morning’s Colorado movie theater shooting.
Ghawi, who used the name Jessica Redfield, was a former intern at KDVR, according to the Fox-affiliate’s live blog. She was a sports blogger for Busted Coverage who also kept a blog of her own. The chilling last entry was an account of her experience narrowly avoiding another mass shooting at the Eaton Centre in Toronto last month:

ABC News Admits ‘Incorrectly’ Linking Tea Party to Mass Murder in Colorado
Three hours after reporter Brian Ross attempted to connect a mass killing in Colorado to the Tea Party, ABC News admitted that the story on Good Morning America was “incorrect.” The retraction was added to the top of an existing online article about the murders.
The article conceded, “An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect.

Will they admit it during the evening news? Why would they link him to any party. No wonder MSM is on its last legs.

Rush Limbaugh, Batman, and the Colorado shooting [Update]
At the risk of seeming callous by getting into the politics of the Colorado shooting, this has to be nipped in the bud by the President and other prominent liberals soon. Via Twitchy:

Suspect In Colo. Theater Massacre Graduated From UC Riverside In 2010
According to the university’s online alumni directory, James Holmes graduated 2010 with a degree in neuroscience.

This is why no one in the world listens to our MSM. They pick and choose what news fit their political leanings and air those stories. They are a disgrace to all news outlets. How dare they call themselves reporters? They do not even check to see if their stories are true, they just know the libs will like it.
I have a link live online waiting for the press conference.

Why Were Children At A Midnight Screening?
“My daughters go to the movies. What if Malia and Sasha had been there?”
When President Obama spoke earlier this morning about the tragic news out of Colorado, he asked the question that parents around the country are likely asking themselves: what if my children had been in the Aurora, Colo. theater where 50 people were wounded and 12 people killed by a gunman at a midnight screening of the new Batman movie.
The President held a moment of silence to honor the victims of the shooting, and calls for stronger gun control policies — from advocates to the U.S. Conference of Mayors – flooded the media.
And there’s another question that follows quickly behind: Why were there children at a midnight screening in the first place?
Teenagers were among the Batman fans who came out that night for the screening, and as news evolved, we learned that a 4-month-old baby was in the crowd, as well as a 6-year-old child.
Parents live daily with questions about how to protect their children; how close to keep them? When to let them venture out alone?
We also make choices about our own adult freedom — a night out with a 3-month-old may have seemed like a good way to have a normal “date night” after the life-altering arrival of a baby.
These days SB, I don’t understand a lot of what is going on. Maybe parents brought their kids because “everyone” else was going. But why did the guy pick this movie? He does look strange, but that is neither here or there. Great up dates.
When his kids go to the movies there are guards. I don’t belived that they go into DC or wherever to go to the movies. The WH is sent first run moves and they are shown in the WH theather. Who the hell does he think he is kidding?
Obama wants ppl to believe he is regular folk, he is such a liar.
he is deceitful like the devil. I saw his face, watched the presser,
waiting for the You tube!
I can only watch him for a limited time. I have never ate then purged. But when I hear his lying voice or see his ugly face, I just want to puke!
They aren’t taking any chances are they. I can’t imagine the fright his neighbors must have felt when they heard what was in his apartment
Was a OWS Streeter

News Confirms 3-Month-Old Baby Is Among Aurora Shooting Victims
9News has now confirmed that a 3-month-old baby is among the victims of the Aurora shooting in Colorado at a midnight screening of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. The child is at the University of Colorado Denver Hospital. Several witnesses repeated the story of seeing a police officer carrying a small baby that had been shot in the back and wasn’t moving. One witness on 9News described the attack while tears filled his eyes and he choked up talking about the child. 9News just reported that a 7-year-old child is still missing, now several hours after the attack.

So now they will blame it on a movie. This guy has mental problems end of story. Just try him then fry him!
Kelly: Colorado Movie Theater Shooting Suspect Claimed To Be Batman Nemesis ‘The Joker’ Died hair Red
New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the gunman suspected of attacking a crowded movie theater in Aurora, Colorado resembled Batman’s arch-villain “The Joker” at the time of the shocking attack.
“We have some information, most of it is public. It clearly looks like a deranged individual. He had his hair painted red, he said he was ‘The Joker,’ obviously the ‘enemy’ of Batman,” Kelly said about the suspect, 24-year-old James Holmes, at a news conference Friday.

He just wanted to blend in so he could do his dirty deed. It s sickening.
Theater shooting unfolds in real time on social media, Wow real time twitter
– The posts show how quickly life can change.
“Everyones dressing up as Batman, im going dressed as Bruce Wayne… Albeit a short stubby unsexy Bruce Wayne #CouldntFindBatmanMaskInTime,” wrote one Twitter user, identified online as Zach Eastman.
“Going to see the final batman tonight! So EXCITED!!!” wrote another Twitter user, @DjaylaRene.
And, in hindsight, most chillingly: “Of course we’re seeing Dark Knight … people should never argue with me.”

Seeing the tweets really puts you there. I can’t imagine what those people thought when they realized what was truly happening.
This is very sad, the Intern ( sports for Fox died)
her brother posted a bog entry, I got tears in my eyes,
Denver Theatre Shooting: Jessica Ghawi
1987-2012
At approximately 0215 CST, I received an hysterical, and almost unintelligible, phone call from my mother stating that my sister, Jessica Ghawi, had been shot while attending the midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Denver, CO. I was able to contact the man that was with my sister, mutual friend Brent, who stated that they were in the theatre when an incendiary device was fired into the crowd and that shots rang out immediately afterwards. Brent further stated that he took two rounds and that my sister took one round followed by an additional round which appeared to strike her in the head. At this time, I do not have confirmation that she is alive or dead. Brent has been transported with non-life threatening injuries to a local hospital. I am on the next flight out of San Antonio to Denver and have already contact Aurora PD, operating jurisdiction, as next of kin.

Watching the 7pm presser,9 pm east coast time they are going to break down. They need to go to sleep and let other ppl answer the questions.
Sad, they are overwhelmed.

I have a link to this site on my sidebar, that is where I go ( it replaced Digg)
Within moments of the first bursts of gunfire inside a suburban Denver movie theater, the Reddit community was buzzing.
“Someone came into our theater at the midnight release of Dark Knight Rises and began opening fire,” read a posting on the user-generated news site by a “redditor” named Peener13. She described being in the theater next door in Aurora, Colo., when the shooting began and later posted a photo of her ticket to prove she was there. “Who here on Reddit can help me calm my nerves?”
