Twelve people were killed Thursday night at Century theater by the Aurora mall, in Colorado.People were massed to see the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises.
A gunman gained entrance to screen nine, through an emergency exit.
He then threw in tear gas, and possibly flash bangs, before opening fire into the crowded theater.
After firing sixty rounds, he calmly left the building, and stood by his car til he was arrested.
Victims were taken to five Aurora hospitals, as well as Parker Adventist.
Sixteen are listed in critical condition, at this time.
The gunman's apartment was found to be booby trapped, and local and federal officials are attempting to defuse explosives before entering.
Several buildings around his apartment building have been evacuated as a precaution.
We are live at the press conference, and will have updates for you as they come.
