Here is the first photo of "Dark Knight" theater shooter James Holmes which is recently released by the University of Colorado, where he attended the School of Medicine, TMZ reported. “He had his hair painted red,” NYPD Commissioner said Raymond Kelly said.
“He said he was the Joker, enemy of Batman.” US President Barack Obama has said he is "shocked and saddened" by the deadly mass shooting at a Colorado cinema screening of the The Dark Knight Rises.
Holmes, 24, moved to Aurora to pursue his Ph.D. at the University of Colorado medical center, living just blocks from the hospital in an apartment that police say is now laced with explosives and being searched by HazMat teams.
At least 15 people were killed and 50 wounded when James Holmes opened fire during an early Friday morning screening of the new Batman movie at an Aurora, Colorado, theater, Police Chief Dan Oates told reporters.
Police in the Denver suburb of Aurora said they had arrested the alleged gunman following chaotic scenes at a movie theatre at a local mall. According to CNN, the heavily armed suspect, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, was apprehended by police in a rear parking lot of the Century Aurora 16 theater, said police spokesman Frank Fania.
A man talked to a couple who was inside the theater told ABC News, "They got up and they started to run through the emergency exit, she said that when she turned around, all she saw was the guy slowly making his way up the stairs and just firing at people, just picking random people."
