'Ten shot dead' at Batman film premiere in Denver | |
(40 minutes later) | |
Ten people have been killed in a shooting at a Batman film premiere in the US city of Denver, local media say. | |
More than 35 people had been injured in the incident, it is reported. | |
A reporter for the 9News website at the scene says a gunman opened fire at the movie cinema complex in Aurora, where three theatres had a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises. | |
Witnesses said someone wearing a gas mask opened fire and there were also reports of a lot of smoke. | |
The Swedish Medical Center, which is not the area's main hospital, told the BBC it had received three gunshot victims. | |
Many ambulances are at the scene and it not clear if there is an active manhunt for the attacker. | |
NBC News reports that one suspect was in custody. | |
A witness told 9News that during a shooting scene in the film he heard loud bangs and a lot of smoke and initially thought they were live special effects put on by the cinema. | |
Projectiles came through the wall from the neighbouring theatre screening, where it appears the shooting occurred. | |
