Shooting at movie theatre claims lives

A night at the movies took a horrendous turn early Friday morning.

In a report by CNN. a gunman wearing a gas mask burst into a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado, detonated a smoke bomb and started firing on citizens. They were watching the midnight premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises", the final movie in the "Dark Knight" trilogy.

Some watching the movie thought that the smoke and gunfire was part of the movie and didn't initially react when the attack began. In all, 12 people were killed and 50 were taken to hospital with a variety of injuries.

The suspect believed to be in his 20s was arrested shortly after in the theatre parking lot. Police have ruled out a second gunman and terrorism as the motive for this attack.
