Colorado Shooting Suspect Charged With 24 Counts of Murder




James Holmes, the lone suspect in a mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, was formally charged with 24 counts of murder and 116 counts of attempted murder at a hearing on Monday morning.

Holmes, age 24, allegedly opened fire at a July 20 midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, leaving 12 dead and 58 wounded before surrendering to police.

Holmes was also charged with one count of possession of explosives, as police discovered soon after the shooting that his apartment was rigged to detonate.

The murder charges encompassed 12 counts of first-degree murder and 12 counts of murder with extreme indifference, according to Reuters.
