Audio And Video After The Jump
The suspect in the Denver movie theater shooting, who allegedly killed a reported 12 people and injured at least 38 at a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises," has been identified as James Holmes.
Holmes is reportedly a 24-year-old white American male, the Associated Press reported on Friday morning. The young man opened fire around 12:30 a.m. MDT Friday morning at the Century Aurora 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colo.
Law enforcement officers told ABC News that Holmes was dressed in all black and wearing a bulletproof vest and gas mask.
Moviegoers told the AP that Holmes released some sort of smoke and, at first, they believed the attack was part of the show. He reportedly entered through an exit door at the front of the theater, threw tear gas and then began shooting.
According to CBS News, authorities have found no evidence to suggest the incident was terrorism-related. Holmes was not on any watch list that could have alerted authorities that he was dangerous, NBC reported. He also has no military history.
Police found four guns at the theater including two pistols, a rifle and a shotgun.
Holmes was apprehended by police in the movie theater parking lot and did not resist arrest. The car he was driving had Tennessee license plates.
A San Diego woman who identified herself as James Holmes' mother told ABC News that she was unaware of the shooting when she first awoke Friday morning and had not yet been contacted by authorities. She did, however, express concern that her son was involved in the shooting.
James Holmes
"You have the right person," she told ABC News, speaking on what ABC deemed gut instinct. "I need to call the police... I need to fly out to Colorado."
Holmes had not had any previous run-ins with the law, other than a "minor" traffic ticket in 2011, police spokesman Frank Fania told "Today."
CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reported that police found Holmes' residence "booby-trapped" and discovered "buckets of extra ammunition" and some kind of chemical in his home. Police had the apartment building evacuated.
Thus far, Holmes appears to have been the lone gunman.

Wow you guys are so gullible. Can't you see how perfectly staged this way. It's been planned with such perfection, right before the new Obama UN guns treaty, that it's such a setup. This guy was used as a pawn, and under control of the CIA. This was an intelligence OP. If you give your second amendment right, that will make it so the state can disarm everyone, and work towards total control.

This whole thing was staged. It's the new 9/11, designed to take your rights and remove guns from the people. Wake up right now and don't let this stuff poison your mind. I can't believe the government has turned hip hop against the people, which used to be a voice of intelligence to up rise against this kind of b*******.

LISTEN UP GUYS...This whole event is just 2 weeks before Obama signs the UN gun treaties to ban hand guns. The elites who control the government wants to have complete control over you. This Holmes guy was setup and given a controlling drug like "devils breath" (look up the VICE documentary (where it renders your free-will incapacitated. Before that was the wars in Mexico with guns from the US gov (fast and furious). Then recently we had the Trayvon Martin thing being brought up all the time. They want to take your 2nd amendment. This was such staged b*******. Not to mention the new batman movie shows the bad guy as the "leader of the people uprising against the government". It shows them as the terrorists using a "free energy device" to do it. This movie also has brought TSA into the movie theaters checking you. It's evil mind control b*******. Tell people what you really think! F*** THIS TRAP!
