The Map of the Shooting in Aurora

AURORA, Colo. — A former neuroscience honors student dressed head to foot in black and wielding three weapons, including an assault rifle, opened fire in a theater packed with families and children at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie in a Denver suburb early Friday, killing at least 12 people and wounding 59 others, police and federal officials said.

The suspect, James Holmes, 24, told the police after his capture that he had booby-trapped his Aurora apartment with explosive devices, leading the police to evacuate five buildings in the neighborhood as they required to disable what they described as “incendiary and chemical devices” that appeared to be arranged to trip wires.

“We have an active and difficult scene,” said Aurora’s police chief, Dan Oates. “It may be resolved in hours or days. We simply don’t know how we’re going to handle that.”
