James Holmes broke into a Denver cinema and shot dead 12 people, and injured at least 50 others during a late-night showing of the new Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises.
The gunman, a 24-year-old 6ft. man, dressed in all black, donned a gas mask and a bullet proof vest before opening fire and setting off smoke bombs in the theater.
Witnesses said the man "entered through the emergency exit at the front of the auditorium and began firing into the audience with a rifle and two handguns as he made his way up the stairs, picking his victims at random."
The man was reportedly arrested in a car park nearby and told police that explosives were stored at his home.
Police spokeswoman Cassidee Carlson said "the scene is still very active and we have little information for release at this time." At this time, there is no evident link to terrorism.
