A gunman opened fire early Friday at a movie theatre in a Denver suburb, killing 14 people and leaving at least 50 others injured, Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said.

The shooting occurred during a showing of the latest Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises, police said.
Aurora, ColoradoAurora, Colorado

The violence erupted about 12:30 a.m. MT as the gunman stood at the front of one of the Century 16 theatres at the Aurora Mall.

"Witnesses tell us he released some sort of canister. They heard a hissing sound and some gas emerged and the gunman opened fire," Oates said at a news conference.

One suspect is in custody and there's no evidence of any additional shooters, Oates said.

There was no immediate word of any motive.

Witness Hayden Miller told KUSA-TV that he was inside Theater 16 and heard several shots.

"Like little explosions going on and shortly after that we heard people screaming," he told the station.

Hayden said at first he thought it was part of a louder movie next door. But then he saw "people hunched over leaving [the] theatre."

Aurora is located on the southeast outskirts of Denver, about 16 kilometres from downtown.

Yeah, it's just like when Jurassic Park first came out, and that T-Rex showed up at the theater...

They brought 2 people back to life since earlier this morning, and uninjured 12 as well, apparently.

Fairly common for the same person to be reported multiple times in cases like this, before the dust settles.

I don't know, but the presence of three month old in a movie theater, strikes me as a possible motive in the shooting.
