A lone gunman burst into a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., at a midnight showing of the latest Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises," and opened fire, killing at least 12 people and injuring at least 50, police said.

James Holmes, 24, of North Aurora, was apprehended at the scene clad in a bullet-proof vest and riot helmet.

Witnesses said Holmes crashed into the movie theater from an emergency exit door at the front of the auditorium, setting off a smoke bomb and then shooting off dozens of rounds from multiple firearms, police told ABC News.

Keep your eyes on the Kenyan bastard during this distraction.

He may try slipping some Executive Orders under the radar in the next few hours.

“James Holmes” sounds like a regular old American name to me. Certainly not Iranian.

FOX TV NEWS Morning Show is reporting that an “infant” was one of the fatalities - shot point blank range.

Ages are diferent. Don’t think its him. Poor guy, he’s going to be targeted today.

Agreed - prayer for the poor guy. He's going to get hammered today. And he looks more like the type to chew up terrorists and spit them out rather than act like one.

Could this be a sicko political ploy by the 'Rats to raise public awareness in favor of gun control and, by implication, candidates who favor it?

A bit like "Fast and Furious," maybe, in that respect?

Remember how they tried to capitalize politically on the Arizona incident in which several people died and Congresswoman Giffords was seriously injured?

Let's see - I predict Schumer and Durbin will go to the microphones and call for national ban on:
1. Private ownership of semiautomatic rifles
2. Private ownership of high-capacity magazines
3. Private ownership of body armor
4. Private ownership of smoke grenades

Any or all of which would have stopped this fellow in his tracks.

They need to look in their own backyard. On any given weekend in Chicago upwards of 10 people are murdered.

Soon expect the usual media culprits to try and tie this idiot into conservative politics.

Expect Obama to deliver a sermon on gun control by the afternoon.
