CNN: Gunman acted alone.

They could be shotgun blasts. I wonder if James Holmes used any bombs in the massacre.

Strange that Holmes allowed himself to be caught instead of fleeing or committing suicide. Did he really want to commit suicide, but was to scared to do it.
Supposedly the only guns he had was a rifle and 2 handguns. The other long gun left in the car I don't know what it was.

Unclear if the six year old drives the count up to 13 or was one of the 12 counted .

For what it's worth....

Thanks HMSHood. According to the link a 6 yr old has passed away. I guess he/she is the 13th victim. :(

That's getting worse. First I heard 15 killed than dropped to 12 killed and now 13 killed.

Is Eastern time zone 2 hours ahead? If the presser is at 11:00 would that be 1 pm Eastern?

TIA

Thanks, I just went back and re-read. The update was at 10:08am and it said it wasn't confirmed, but if true it would put the death toll at 13.

They just said that the shooter's booby traps are sophisticated in nature.

That is what I am hearing too. He was a very smart guy, Neuroscience isn't an easy area to study.

Just seen his high school pic, looked like a normal lad really. (shown on Sky news)

booby traps are sophisticated and it may take hours or days to get inside

about 5-6 total buildings have been evacuated around the one where he lives and a restaurant has not opened for the day

firefighters up in cherry pictures taking digital pictures (going on right now) of roof... for clear image of what is on the roof of the apartment building.

They also broke a window earlier and took pictures of the inside of the apartment.

they are also shooting video of the roof and apartment

I wonder if James Holmes maybe a copycat of Columbine, Virginia Tech or Utoya Islan Massacre. July 22nd would be the first anniversary of Anders Breivik killing 69 people in Oslo and Utoya Island. That one was a terrorist attack.

Seeing on a channels chat section of live video that the Pentagon is saying that some members of our military were killed or wounded in this shooting. Has anyone else read that? Looking for an article that states that.
