Midnight showing of new Batman movie on it's release and on the first appearance of batman 2 gunmen wearing bullet proof vests and gasmasks lobbed teargas grenades and started firing randomly into the crowd with military style rifles. Among the dead are children and a baby. One gunman in custody, the other on the loose.

update1: number of wounded has increased to 30-40.
update2: 14 dead, 39 transported to 3 hospitals, other wounded being stabilized on scene for later transport. Now saying just one gunman w/ rifle and pistol. explosives or an incendiary found in his car and reports of additional explosives in his apartment. FBI and gang unit on scene. Make that 50 injured. 10 died on site, 4 later in the hospital.
303 695 2600 - Aurora medical center in case you know someone that was at the theater last night that hasn't come back. The other Hospitals are Swedish and University Medical Center. Don't have numbers for them yet. At lease 20 sent to Aurora medical center.
Swedish 303 18yo M released, 20yo F critical condition, 29yo M critical condition.
University of Colorado 303 20 patients ranging from minor injuries to critical condition. All with gunshot wounds. handful of which are teens.
Children's Hospital 303
Century 16 theater in Aurora Colorado. Movie was sold out. Batman was showing in theater 9 (shooting) as well as 2 others. Bullets penetrated theater walls and at least 5 hit in adjacent theater.
Gunman is 24yo had 2 handguns and 1 long gun. Has residence in Aurora, unconfirmed that his car had TN plates. FBI just said that so far there is no indication of connection w/ terrorism. He's Caucasian. I guess the butterfly net kid... Bomb squad is still checking out the outside of his apartment for boobytraps. Neighborhood has been evacuated.
15 dead now.

Shooters name is James Homes
gunmans apt is boobytraped. mixed reports that cops are finally in via window and still waiting. apparently trip wires tied to bottles containing unknown liquid. chlorate/acid? He dropped out of a PhD program in medicine (neuroscience) recently. PhD students actually crack more often than you would think, but usually only kill their adviser.
The baby and 6yo apparently survived.
another briefing in about 10 minutes.
seating capacity per theater is 300 ppl. 5 of the victims were in an adjacent theater.
Now saying he had 4 firearms - 2 handguns, a rifle and a shotgun. Also that he had a stockpile of ammo. Expect restrictions of keeping large quantities of ammo.
