Twelve people walked into a Colorado movie theater late one July night, expecting to enjoy a special midnight screening of the Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises."
They didn't walk out.
Their deaths - and injuries to dozens of others - came after a man dressed head to toe in protective tactical gear sprayed the Century 16 theater in Aurora with bullets from an AR-15 rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and a .40-caliber pistol, weapons police discovered at the scene.
On Monday, many grisly details of what happened could be presented in a Colorado court at a preliminary hearing for the shooting suspect, James Holmes.
Now 25, Holmes faces 166 charges, including murder, attempted murder and weapons offenses, tied to the July 20 rampage.
Bits and pieces emerged from police and witnesses shortly after the massacre. One was that Holmes had colored his hair red and told police he was "the Joker," one of Batman's archenemies, according to a federal law enforcement source with detailed knowledge of the investigation.
But much information has been kept under wraps, especially after Arapahoe County District Judge William Sylvester issued a gag order to prevent defense lawyers, prosecutors and law enforcement agencies from disclosing certain information to the media.
That could change after this week's hearing, which is expected to last several days.

In the age of information, ignorance is a choice.
The Pharmaceutical industry does not create cures, they create customers!
Holmes apparently had been seeing at least three psychiatrists and, at a minimum, had been diagnosed with “Dysphoric Mania.” What the public has not been told is what co cktail of mind-altering drugs had his team of psychiatrists prescribed and at what levels.
Also, Dysphoric Mania is typically treated with a mood stablizer such as an antipsychotic
Lets not forget other meds given to deal with the "side affects"
Good morning all

Btw, Thanks Cnn for forcing me to break-up my comment in order to get it to post.
Nevertheless, Mary, I will not give up Bayer aspirin.
Thank God for the judge's gag order or this "trial" would turn into a circus! Was the shooter guilty? ...probably yes. Was he sane? ....probably not. Will he be execututed? ....Probably not. Will he be locked up for ever? ...probably yes!
@ JIF, Bayer asprin (heroin) is childs play when in comparison to these SSRI's.
Mary.
Bayer aspirin isn't heroin.
Bayer sold both aspirin AND heroin, but they were two completely different products.
I should add that it was about 100 years ago when Bayer sold heroin as a medication, and of course it doesn't do so today; that should be obvious.
@Mary, what is the ingredient in Bayer aspirin that makes you claim that is like heroin? I know of none and Bayer asprin is no different from generic aspirin. I am also going to ask my husband if he ever heard of such a claim. He is a well respected MD who provides aspirin therapy to many of his patients. As a result many have been saved from having Cardiovascular problems. Also remember that people first go to the internet to self-diagnose and just because its on the internet doesn't make it so.
@dazzle:
I outlined above where she got the erroneous idea from... that and drinking too much kool-ade.
That stuff is poison.
My mistake @ JIF, the sentence should have read "asprin and or heroin – both being addi ctive
Nonsense.
Asprin isn't addictive.
Some brands have caffeine in them, and that's addictive; aspirin, in and of itself, isn't.
Please stop spreading misinformation.
@ PT, Why are Americans so excepting of "gagging" the truth? Why are they so excepting of having the DOJ's version of the truth fed to them?
@banasy, thank you for your research. My concern about such a statement is that people will believe it and to my knowledge it is a plant of an erroneous statement but I will await Mary's response.
@Mary, now that is a false statement about aspirin being addictive. The only OTC item that is as addictive as heroin is nicotine. If you've ever smoked and tried to quit, I'm sure it is like a scene out of The Manchurian Candidate.
Dewar's?
Not me @ 7:23
Good nite troll
My last post of the evening ... get it ?
So I take it you're not going to address the false information you're putting out there?
Typical. Get it?
Good grief, pulpit envy i think!
