My heart goes out to all of the victims and their families.

A shooting at a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" at a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado early today has left at least 14 people dead and at least 50 people injured, authorities confirmed.
Police now have apprehended a suspect who has been described as an adult male and have recovered a gun after the shooting at approximately 12:30 a.m. CT at the Century 16 Movie Theaters at the Aurora Town Center in the Denver suburb.

Witnesses said that the man appeared at the front of the theater with a rifle, handgun and gas mask. Witnesses said that he then threw a canister that released some kind of gas, after which a hissing sound ensued. The gunman then opened fire on the crowd packed into the early morning screening of the film, according to people in the theater at the time.

An explosive device was also found inside the theater. Police are unsure of whether the device, which investigators are calling a bomb, was already in place or whether it was thrown into the crowd.

Ambulances rushed to the scene as audience members fled the theater. Aurora's police chief said that he cannot elaborate on women or children injured or dead in the shooting.

Once apprehended the gunman told authorities that there were explosives in his North Aurora, Colo. residence. Investigators rushed to the apartment complex, which was quickly evacuated and now under lock down.

Though police have said that they believe the shooter was acting alone, they are now taking precautions and checking all cars in the parking lot and clearing near the theater.

There is believed to be no connection to Islamic terrorism, per a senior official monitoring the situation in Washington. Investigators are now interviewing friends and associates of the suspect to get a sense of the man's background.

I am now just waking up to this news. How absolutely extraordinary that something as harmless as a trip to the cinema ends in loss of life at the hands of an obviously disturbed individual.

I've been following this story all day, and it's just heartbreaking. Children were shot, babies were treated for injuries. The cops can't get into this idiot's apartment because it's been booby-trapped, and his own mother says she's not surprised he did something like this.

As the world gets crazier and crazier, the more I begin to realize I'd rather be around animals than humans. My pets act more civilized than a lot of people.

The Columbine High School shootings were in Colorado, too. I wonder if it's a lack of oxygen causing brain damage.
