AURORA - There is one suspect in custody after 12 people were shot and killed at the Century 16 Movie Theaters at the Aurora Town Center. There were at least 50 people injured, according to Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates. Oates says 10 died at the theater and two died at the area hospital.

The new Batman movie called "The Dark Knight Rises" was opening at the theater during the shooting.

NBC News has confirmed through two federal sources the shooting suspect's name is James Holmes. He is 24 years old.

Police say Holmes "appeared" at the front of one of the theaters, threw some type of gas or explosive device and started shooting. Police recovered a rifle, a handgun and a gas mask when they arrive on the scene. Another gun was discovered later inside the theater. Holmes was wearing a bulletproof vest, according to federal authorities.

Holmes, after being captured by police, told authorities he had explosive materials in his apartment. The police went to Homes' apartment building at East 17th Avenue and Peoria Street in Aurora and evacuated the building immediately as a precautionary measure.

Police are searching Holmes' apartment to confirm that claim. 9NEWS is waiting to hear more information to see if they discovered any explosives in his apartment.

ABC is reporting an explosive device was found at the theater. CNN is reporting that neighbors said the ATF found components for a bomb at the residence. News reports are always confused right after the event.

Not what I have been watching, they have not what I have seen some sort of device, just clothing on the floor

It's hard to tell in an ongoing investigation. Things will leak out and media will say things that still aren't confirmed. Some may be true, some not. Are you watching British or American news?

Glad to hear your nieces are alright Nibs. What a horrible couple of hours to go through.

Oh heck, I thought DHS was protecting us from stuff like that!  I have placed all my faith in the government to prevent this sort of thing.  Isn't that what National Security is all about?

They'll give you national security, but it'll cost you your second amendment rights. Of course, this just so happens on the verge of the UN's small arms treaty.

Both, Sky and BBC have learned that no device was found in the home or theatre and they got that from American news which they got from police at the scene

OK. Thanks. I don't have my TV on as I'm getting ready to go to work. I'm going by what they have posted online.

I'm listening to a local channel.  www.9news.com.

They are replaying the police and rescue workers discussion over the radio as they arrive on scene.

I wish Colorado could find new things to qualify us as "trend setters".

Sometimes my state makes me crazy.
