    Ten killed in Batman premier shooting  in US of A. says news



    Quote
    DENVER: A masked gunman shot dead 10 people and wounded 30 to 40 others at a showing of new Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises” at a movie theatre in the US city of Denver, local radio station KOA reported on Friday, citing witnesses.

    The radio station said a figure in a gas mask had opened fire at the late-night showing in a mall in the suburb of Aurora and set off a smoke or tear gas bomb. It said initial police estimates were of 30-40 injured.

    Dozens of police were at the scene, CNN footage showed.

    KOA said authorities were evacuating the area while they checked if there was an exploding device there.

    CNN quoted one witness as saying he saw a “guy slowly making his way up the stairs and firing, picking random people”.

    It said local hospitals were alerted to a “mass casualty incident”.

    James Holmes, 24, was identified by two federal law enforcement officers as the man who opened fire during a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" at an Aurora, Colorado, theater early Friday. At least 12 people were killed and 38 wounded, Police Chief Dan Oates said.  The surprise to me is this nut case apparently never had problem with law of the Land US of A except some speeding ticket in 2011..

    Surprise from former and current tenants in shooting suspect's building

    (CNN) -- Tori Lynn Everhart was awakened at 2 a.m. by a knock at the door to her apartment on the second floor of 1690 Paris Street in Aurora. She opened the door to find a policeman. "He said, 'You need to change,' -- I was in my pajamas -- 'and get out. There's a situation.'

    "I asked, 'Well, can I get back in sometime, because I'm supposed to be moving today.'

    "He said, 'We're not sure about that. That's not important. The situation is important.'"

    It was not until later that the 27-year-old pharmacist learned that the situation involved James Holmes, the suspect in Friday's shooting at an Aurora movie theater in which 12 people were killed.

    Holmes told police that he had set up a booby trap inside his apartment, Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told reporters.

    That apartment, Number 10, is located on the top floor of the three-story brick building, one floor above her, said Everhart, who has lived in the 12-unit building for five years. She said she had been planning to move out Friday because she had finished her degree and was ready for a change.

    "I wanted to have something that was a little bit bigger and in a little safer neighborhood," she said. "It's not like true ghetto. It's not the safest neighborhood, but it's definitely improving."

    Donald Robert Davis, 52, lived in Number 10 himself for about two years before moving out about a year ago. He described it as an approximately 850-square-foot, one bedroom, one bath for which he paid $525 per month, not including utilities.

    Marisa McMillen, 58, moved out of Number 12 a year ago.

    McMillen, whose apartment was next door to Apartment 10, said Holley Realty did a background check on her before allowing her to move in to her $500-per-month, one-bedroom apartment. But she, too, moved out about a year ago before Holmes arrived.

    When she heard that her former apartment building was an address shared by the suspect in a mass killing, she said, "My first thought was that this doesn't sound like someone who lived there. I'm really shocked."

    McMillen described the other tenants as typically older than 24, Holmes' age. In addition, most of the other tenants were students, said McMillen, who was studying nursing.

    But Holmes was a Ph.D. candidate in the University of Colorado's neuroscience program, said Jacque Montgomery, a spokeswoman for the school's hospital, where 22 victims were being treated. He was admitted in June 2011 and was in the process of withdrawing, she said.

    The apartment building is a short walk to the school's campus.

    A man who answered the phone at Holley Realty would not talk to a reporter. "We are declining to say anything right now out of respect for the victims," he said.

    Profile: Colorado mass shooting suspect James Holmes, 24, was 'loner'


    Quote
    He was shy. He was a Ph.D. student. And, he was obsessed with playing the video game "Guitar Hero," according to a former college classmate. But it appears he might have also been the coldest of cold-hearted killers. That’s the profile emerging of Aurora, Colorado mass shooting suspect James Holmes, 24.

    James Eagan Holmes lived in an apartment just five miles from the movie theater where the mass shooting took place, but previously he lived in California.  A man who lives next door to Holmes’ California family says James Holmes was a loner.

    Tom Mai is a retired electrical engineer who is neighbors with the family of 24-year-old James Holmes on a quiet, well-to-do San Diego street of two story homes with red tile roofs.  Mai says he said hello to Holmes once in a while but that Holmes seemed to be shy.

    Mai says the family lived there about 10 years. The mother is a nurse and the father is a manager at a software company. The suspect has a younger sister.  Mai says the mother told him Holmes couldn't find a job after earning a master's degree from a public university in California.

     Strange characters..  clearly Gun control rules of that free..freee.freeeeeeeeeee country with lots of guns & assult weapons on the street could have helped to alleviate this terrible tragedy

    well that is where festivals like Ramadan in Islam or festivals of other religions or get together in weekend religious programs or playing games.. or  even interacting on forums like these helps individuals and  community to smile at each other.

    So smile at your own family members/friends and neighbors or even strangers on street.........  US of A tops in that number of prisoners to its population

    Great article from the NYT on James Homes.

    Quote
    YOU’VE had 48 hours to reflect on the ghastly shooting in Colorado at a movie theater. You’ve been bombarded with “facts” and opinions about James Holmes’s motives. You have probably expressed your opinion on why he did it. You are probably wrong.

    I learned that the hard way. In 1999 I lived in Denver and was part of the first wave of reporters to descend on Columbine High School the afternoon it was attacked. I ran with the journalistic pack that created the myths we are still living with. We created those myths for one reason: we were trying to answer the burning question of why, and we were trying to answer it way too soon. I spent 10 years studying Columbine, and we all know what happened there, right? Two outcast loners exacted revenge against the jocks for relentlessly bullying them.

    Not one bit of that turned out to be true.

    But the news media jumped to all those conclusions in the first 24 hours, so they are accepted by many people today as fact. The real story is a lot more disturbing. And instructive.

    At every high school, college and school-safety conference I speak at, I hold up the journals left behind by the killers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. The audience is shocked at what they learn. Perpetrators of mass murder are usually nothing like our conceptions of them. They are nothing like a vision of pure evil. They are complicated.

    Mr. Harris kept a sort of journal for an entire year, focused largely on his plan to blow up his school and mow down survivors with high-powered rifles. Mr. Klebold kept a more traditional journal for two years, spewing a wild array of contradictory teen angst and deep depression, grappling seriously with suicide from the very first page.

    Audiences are never surprised by the journal of Mr. Harris. It’s hate-hate-hate all the way through. He was a coldblooded psychopath, in the clinical use of that term. He had no empathy, no regard for human suffering or even human life.

    Mr. Klebold’s journal is the revelation. Ten pages are consumed with drawings of giant fluffy hearts. Some fill entire pages, others dance about in happy clusters, with “I LOVE YOU” stenciled across. He was ferociously angry. He had one primary target for his anger. Not jocks, but himself. What a loathsome creature he found himself. No friends, no love, not a soul who cared about him or what became of his miserable life. None of that is objectively true. But that’s what he saw.

    It’s a common high school malady, taken to extremes. Psychologists have a simple term for this state: depression. That surprises a lot of people. Depressives look sad, but that is the view from the outside. Of course they’re sad; they’ve probably gone their entire day getting berated relentlessly, by the single person in the world whose opinion they hold most dear — themselves.

    Psychologists describe depression as anger turned inward. When that anger is somehow turned around, and projected outward, watch out.

    Dylan Klebold was an extreme and rare case. A vast majority of depressives are a danger only to themselves. But it is equally true that of the tiny fraction of people who commit mass murder, most are not psychopaths like Eric Harris or deeply mentally ill like Seung-Hui Cho at Virginia Tech. Far more often, they are suicidal and deeply depressed. The Secret Service’s landmark study of school shooters in 2002 determined that 78 percent of those shooters had experienced suicidal thoughts or attempts before mass murder.

    At this very moment, the police have probably gathered a great deal of evidence from James Holmes. They may well have a clear read on his motives right now. It is vital that they share this information fully with the public, but just as vital that they conceal much or all of it while they conduct their investigation. Testimony from friends, family and survivors of the massacre is also crucial, and witnesses are highly suggestible. Information must be withheld in the short run to safeguard corrupting their stories. Not for seven years, as in the case of the Columbine diaries, but perhaps several weeks.

    Over the next several days, you will be hit with all sorts of evidence fragments suggesting one motive or another. Don’t believe any one detail. Mr. Holmes has already been described as a loner. Proceed with caution on that. Nearly every shooter gets tagged with that label, because the public is convinced that that’s the profile, and people barely acquainted with the gunman parrot it back to every journalist they encounter. The Secret Service report determined that it’s usually not true.

    Resist the temptation to extrapolate details prematurely into a whole. Every time you begin to think we’re ready to answer the burning why, focus on the image of Dylan’s hearts. The killer is rarely who he seems.

    Quote
    James Holmes planned the attack with ”calculation and deliberation,” police said Saturday, receiving deliveries by mail that authorities believe armed him for battle and were used to rig his apartment with dozens of bombs.....

    His apartment was rigged with jars of liquids, explosives and chemicals that were booby trapped to kill ”whoever entered it,” Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said, noting it would have likely been one of his officers.............

    Holmes received several mail deliveries over four months to his home and school and bought thousands rounds of ammunition on the Internet.

    ”He had a high volume of deliveries,” Oates said. ”We think this explains how he got his hands on the magazine, ammunition,” he said, as well as the rigged explosives in his apartmen...........................


    Clearly this seemingly educated nut case was planning that mass murder for a long time... Question is why he choose that theater and what triggered that event on that day.?? I mean he could that at his college in class room or in mall...

    Mass murder at midnight

    Quote
    IN the felicitously named Coloradan township of Aurora late last week, 12 American citizens — ranging in age from six to 51 but most of them in their 20s —did not live to see the first light of the morning after a night out at the cinema.

    Several of the 58 hospitalised with gunshot wounds were reportedly struggling to survive.

    The alleged perpetrator looked dazed and confused when he appeared in court on Monday morning. Although he had surrendered calmly in the car park outside the cinema after the homicidal rampage, police said he wasn’t being cooperative.

    There has, inevitably, been considerable speculation about the 24 year old’s state of mind, based largely on hearsay, but the overarching theme of much commentary has been that there were no obvious warning signs. Acquaintances describe him as a shy and innocuous young man who largely kept to himself. He had been working towards a doctorate in neuroscience but was in the process of dropping out. His only previous run-in with the law involved a speeding ticket.

      ...

    Quote
    . ..In the couple of months leading up to his unspeakable actions, James Holmes acquired four weapons: a semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and two handguns. He purchased them at local weapons stores. He is also believed to have spent thousands of dollars on buying 6,000 rounds of ammunition on the Internet.

    The shooting spree was thus preceded by a shopping spree. Should that not have rung an alarm bell or two, even in a country where the right to bear — and buy — arms is considered sacrosanct?

    No prominent politician in the US has uttered a word about gun control since the Aurora outrage. President Barack Obama visited the township at the weekend, offering condolences and words of consolation, but without referring even obliquely to the laws that facilitate mass murder.


    Quote
    Just last month, the American news website The Daily had this to report about Obama’s home city (whose mayor is the president’s former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel): “The streets of Chicago are officially more dangerous than a war zone: homicide victims in the Windy City outnumber US troops killed in Afghanistan this year. While 144 Americans have died in Afghanistan in 2012, a whopping 228 Chicago residents have been killed, and the murder rate is up a staggering 35 per cent from last year.”

    The Law Centre to Prevent Gun Violence, meanwhile, cites other discomfiting statistics: “In 2009, guns took the lives of 31,347 Americans in homicides, suicides and unintentional shootings. This is the equivalent of more than 85 deaths each day and more than three deaths each hour….

    “Between 1955 and 1975, the Vietnam war killed over 58,000 American soldiers — less than the number of civilians killed with guns in the US in an average two-year period. In the first seven years of the US-Iraq War, over 4,400 American soldiers were killed. Almost as many civilians are killed with guns in the US, however, every seven weeks.”[/b]



    Whether the realisation will ever dawn on lawmakers that the sort of liberty that enables sophisticated killing machines to be purchased off-the-shelf is incompatible with the right to life and the pursuit of happiness remains an open question. As does another that was raised a half century ago: “How many deaths will it take till they know /  That too many people have died?”


    well that is good to read....but how many Americans reads that??
