A heavily armed gunman killed at least 12 people and wounded 38 more during an early Friday morning screening of the new Batman movie at an Aurora, Colorado, theater, police Chief Dan Oates told reporters.
Earlier, police said 14 had been killed.
Police arrested a man believed to be the shooter in a rear parking lot of the theater, Frank Fania, a police spokesman, told CNN. The suspect was not immediately identified, though Fania said he was believed to be in his early 20s.
"He did not resist. He did not put up a fight," Fania said. Police seized a rifle and a handgun from the suspect, and another gun was found in the theater, he said.

Arm yourselves people. Protect your families. The muslims are at it again. It will be interesting what else the sleeper cells are planning today.

You can really sit there and joke about this!!! That's very sad !!! Prayers for them all .
Lock & Load & fight the terror.
Ya – golly dang lets just get out some more guns there Gomer
Arm yourselves & this kind of event will be less likely to happen. Hey anti gun people, LAWS DO NOT APPLY TO CRIMINALS! One armed good citizen could have prvented this. The idiot lefties only want criminals to be armed. Dangerous & foolish.
Hating liberal and lefties, as you call them, is the root of our troubles.
Me too Mel. Me too.
just another gun shot story, tomorrow the gun control debate will begin, weeks from now, you will forget this, and it starts over again, what a great country.
thats so dumb
Not to spoil the ending for anyone, but the shooter was mad because Batman dies at the end.
welcome to the prison state. Land of the secure and home of the catered to. You know in china they have the same problem with public mass killings... They are not allowed to have guns. You know what the person who lost their way used on their way out is likely to use? Ginzu knife, thats right a thing everyone has in their kitchen. At some point you have to out reach; train, develop and then trust people because the costs of a security state will break the bones of a people.
Im surprised this isn't happening every day with as rotten as the situation on the ground is. There is really no need for it to be this bad and for people to treat each other the way they do.
Where the heck is Tebow?
That was in Alabama...not Arizona. So, what was that about stupidity again?
