Police have evacuated the area surrounding the apartment of the man suspected of shooting dead at least 12 people and wounding 50 others during a late-night screening of the new Batman movie as they reveal his home is booby-trapped.
James Holmes, 24, told officers he had explosives stored at his apartment when he was arrested after opening fire at random at the mall in Aurora, Colorado.
Police said they were forced to evacuate Holmes' apartment block, situated four miles from the scene of the horrific crime in North Aurora, and five surrounding buildings.
Investigation: Police use a video camera to look inside an apartment where the suspect in a shooting at a movie theatre lived in Aurora, Colo., Friday, July 20, 2012
Investigation: The Aurora bomb squad robot is deployed to search a suspect's car behind the Century 16 Theatre following a shooting during a Batman movie screening in Aurora, Colorado July 20, 2012
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates says bomb technicians are determining how to disarm flammable or explosive material in the third-floor apartment. He says police could be there some time.
Oates says pictures from inside the apartment are fairly disturbing and the devices look to be sophisticated.

Yup. I’m kind of surprised something like this didn’t happen back when Dark Knight came out.
That is a scary thought. Any word if cadets were among the casualties?
Local Denver TV reporting that three military service members were wounded, but expected to survive.
You are not worthress, Arec Barrwin!
Why not take him to the apartment to disarm it. He clearly does not want to die so I’d force him to go in first.

Gritty the very first newspaper on line that I go to in the morning is The Daily Mail. They report the stuff that our press will not report
Could he be one of the moon people?

Only if he is 6ft tall and dressed like a Quaker.

Hmm, this homicidal crazy guy was just another joe on the street.
As speculation mounts about the motive behind the mass shooting, one private investigator has said that Holmes may have been part of Occupy Wall Street's most violent faction, Occupy Black Bloc.
Well thats understandable; why would the FBI be interested in the Occupy Wall Street kids? Everybody knows that those kids are just peaceful college kids who want to make a better world.
You cant have the FBI invading the privacy of peaceful protesters who are trying to make the world better for lazy socialist yuts that want to get paid 75 grand a year to tell everybody that the US is no darned good.
That is a scary thought. Any word if cadets were among the casualties?
Where did you hear air force cadets were at the movie? There are plenty of movie theaters in Colorado Springs (where the academy is), which is about an hour drive from Aurora.
Unfortunately it is coming out now that there are.
Divergent gaze.
“Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
I heard the same quote this AM during the interview with a BF of the girl who was shot and had been at the Toronto Mall during that shooting
Will provide links as available.
Don’t forget, the occupy idiots here in Ohio who wanted to blow up a bridge.
Exactly what I thought, he was re-enacting n his own way, scenes from the previous Batman movie.
What on earth gave you that idea? This is summer. BCT is in full swing for the Smacks, everyone else is either helping to run that or elsewhere for another program or on leave.
It was also a week night. Unless things have loosened up a lot since my cadet days there were most likely very few cadets in Aurora that night.
Doolies should be in Jack’s Valley by now; should just be a skeleton crew, SERE students, and summer school attendees around the campus, with even fewer able to go out on a weeknight for a midnight movie.
Yep. They're "entitled" to anything they want, and God help anyone who stands in their way. The government schools created these insane people.
