Mass shooting at Batman premiere; 14 dead 50 Injured

 A man is in custody after allegedly shooting dead at least 12 people and wounding up to 50 others at a midnight screening of new Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises in the US city of Denver, Colorado.

Moviegoers didn't know what was happening when a gunman wearing a gas mask set off an unknown gas and started firing into the audience. Some initially thought the attack was part of the show. Then they saw a silhouette of a person in the smoke at the front of the theatre near the screen, pointing a gun at the crowd.

"I told my friend 'we've got to get out of here,' but then he shot people trying to go out the exits," Jennifer Seeger told NBC's Today. She said the shooter made his way up the aisle, firing as he went, saying nothing.

Some of those injured are children, including a 3-month-old baby who was shot.

Police earlier said 14 people were dead, but later revised the number to at least 12. It was not immediately clear why the revision was made.

Based on online posts this is cocaine psychosis which is why he needed the vicodine (codeine). Weird, very weird case.
