Police say a gunman wearing a gas mask opened fire at the cinema complex in Aurora during the film's first public showing and reports are indicating the suspect released a smoke bomb during the incident. Police say they have taken one suspect into custody and Frank Fania from Aurora police department has told CNN that the suspect is a male, believed to be in his early 20s. BBC have confirmed that The Swedish Medical Center, which isn't the area's main hospital, has had three people checked in with gunshot wounds. One witness said the the loud bangs and the smoke from the bomb and the firing were initially thought to be live special effects put on by the cinema.
