i think that is the name of it. so i like that. >> i would have spaghetti bolognese. if you ever sentence me to death, that is what i would have, pasta bolognese. >> okay. good morning, everyone, i'm randi kaye. it is 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. 4:00 a.m. here on aurora, colorado, where this small town and the entire country are united in shock and grief. joyful, excited fans had packed a movie theater here for what they thought would be a night of fun. but for 12 people, it would be the last night of their lives. over the next weeks and month, we will hear more about suspected shooter james holmes. there will likely be court appearances, charges, and perhaps a trial. it will be holmes who makes headlines. a name you'll hear over and over. and usually it is the suspected

killer that gets most of the attention. eric harris and dylanical icalk. anders behring breivik. today is the one-year anniversary of that mass killing. but names we should be hearing are those of the victims. we want to start this morning remembering those who lost their lives friday morning as told by the people they left behind. >> not surprising to me that his first thought would be her. that's what a man does. he protects his loved ones. i'm very proud of him. we're going to miss him.

>> just a great kid. talented kid. very talented. a lot of gifts. made people laugh. always made people smile. gentle giant was the way we looked at him. >> the sweetest smile you've ever seen. and she got -- she got prettier as she grew older. in a blink of an eye, something happens, and -- completely changes everyone's life forever. >> she was a great kid.

she was just finding herself. would never harm anybody. she didn't deserve to die this way. >> he was a wonderful young man. what a terrible, terrible loss this is for everyone who knew him. >> i'll never have her to hug again. i was blessed. only for 25 years, but i was blessed.

>> and now the latest on the investigation and a search for a motive in the case. police here in aurora say that they've removed all hazards from james holmes' apartment, and some of the evacuated neighbors were actually allowed to return last night. but not before police carefully detonated some explosives. one neighbor said she nearly entered the apartment early friday morning when loud techno music started blaring. she tried yelling it holmes and noticed the door was unlocked but didn't open it. that may have saved kristin fonzie's life. she now knows the music was set to play while the suspected gunman was at the theater. police say had she entered the apartment she likely would have died. jim spellman is at the apartment

complex where holmes lives this morning. you have new information on the investigation. i understand they questioned somebody else. >> reporter: that's right. overnight, multiple reports surfaced that there may be a potential second suspect in this case. aurora police wanted to knock that down pretty quick. they put out a statement saying, yes, they interviewed somebody they described as an associate of james holmes, the accused shooter in this case. but at this point, they have no reason to believe that this man was involved in the attack. so we'll see where that goes. obviously in their investigation they're going to interview many, many people. they're saying at this point the man they interviewed yesterday not involved. as you mentioned, all the hazards have been removed from the apartment. we expect the fbi evidence response team -- recovery team will be back today to continue working, processing the site, looking for any clues as to more details of what went on. we do know from police that over the last few months he received many large packages here, james

holm did -- holmes did. that's beginning to give an understanding how he put together the materials he needed, not only the ammunition and guns for the attack at the movie theater but to rig his apartment, as well. >> jim, i understand today certainly is an important day and big day for people here. president obama is coming to visit with the families of the victims of the shooting. can you tell us more about the agenda? is he going to be at the hospital, where will he be? >> we're not exactly sure where he'll go. he's expected to land later this afternoon and speak with family members of people who were deceased. maybe people who were shot and survived, he'll also meet with local leaders. he won't go to the vigil tonight. a lot of local leaders will be spoking, prayers, things like that. a lot of people in the community are looking forward to that as an opportunity to all be together. that's this evening in aurora. >> and tomorrow, james holmes,

we've opinion talking about there all weekend, will have his first court hearing. he hasn't been charged yet. what can we expect to happen tomorrow? >> reporter: sure. like a lot of first appearances in court, often sometime barely anything happens. they may charge him, they may not. a lot of the court documents are sealed at this point so we don't know. but it will be the press' and public's first chance to see this man. the alleged shooter in this case, after this. so we'll learn a lot more tomorrow morning down. with these court documents sealed and authorities being tight-lipped about a lot of the details, this will be the first chance to look into how it will proceed, what exactly he'll be charged with. that will be the first of many, many court appearances for james holmes. >> no doubt. jim spellman, thank you very much for that this morning. >> reporter: yeah. amid the chaos in that theater early friday morning, stories of courage and selflessness as the bullets began to fly. an iraq war veteran put his own life on the line to protect the lives of his friends.

cnn's kyung lah has his story. my mind was completely clear of what's going on. guys, here's a gun. he's shooting at people. stay down. and -- it's the best chance we have. >> reporter: the second thought for josh noland -- protect his friends. the 31-year-old navy veteran deployed to iraq twice, threw himself on top of his friends. newlyweds brandon and denise axlerod. dozens of bullets flew through the air. one ripped through noland's calf and lodged in his arm breaking the bone. >> i see that big hole in myeg and big hole in my arm. that's what brandon was like, stay down. >> reporter: noland said he flattened himself on the theater floor with his friends beneath him, hearing the gunman walk and wait. he must survive for his two sons, he says, whose pictures he carries. 9-year-old eric and 7-year-old ryan. then the gun jammed. if that gun had not jammed, that you'd be here?

>> i know i wouldn't be here. if that gun -- if that gun did not jam, i am fully certain that i probably would not be here. >> reporter: how are you feeling today? >> scared. you know, of course i'm glad it's over with, and yes, i am glad i am alive. and i get to see my kids. but i also think about the other people that didn't -- not as lucky as i was. i mean, there was kids, mothers, fathers that was there. and they're dead. i'm still alive. >> reporter: amid the horror of what happened inside theater number nine, we're hearing an extraordinary story repeated among the survivors. the number of people who threw themselves on top of friends and family members to shield them from the flying bullets. >> brandon and denise are two of best people that you would ever get to meet. >> reporter: is that why you

jumped on top of them when those bullets started flying? >> i did. that was -- to see those two go -- they have every right to live and be happy. they just got married. >> it's no longer a friendship. it's not even family, it's like something deeper. >> because there's -- this is something that will never leave us. >> no. >> reporter: his friends won't leave his side now, helping noland through a second surgery and physical therapy. as soon as he can, noland has only one thing he says he must do for his emotional recovery. >> i want to go back to that theater. i want to go back into that auditorium. i want to look straight down that same seat and say, i beat you. you did not take this life. >> reporter: kyung lah, aurora,

drew griffin reports. >> reporter: he'd been living not far from this movie theater for the past year because it was also close to the university of colorado medical school where holmes was a graduate student in neurosciences. according to the school, he was in the process of withdraw iings a student last month. the school won't tell us much his grades, classes he took, or anything else. we do know he gave a student lecture this past march on something called micro rna biomarkers, about an emerging study of nerves that relate to cancer research. the school says holmes worked in a paid position there, as well, but no details. before that, it was a middle upper-class upbringing in california. high school in san diego, undergraduate degree from the university university of california in riverside, 2010. school administrators said he had an outstanding academic

record. >> he was an honors student. so academically he was at the top of the top. you know, he -- he really distinguished himself from an academic point of view during his four years with us. graduating with highest honors. >> reporter: so how is this honors student, this ph.d. candidate, this budding neuroscientist suddenly becoming completely a different person? dressed and, according to police, armed to kill? >> the suspect was dressed all in black. he was wearing a ballistic helmet, a tactical ballistic vest, ballistic leggings, a throat protector, and a groin protector, and a gas mask and black tactical gloves. >> reporter: was the person delusional? was there mental illness involved? as we try to piece this together, i want to share with you what new york city police commissioner ray kelly had released on what he learned of the suspect that may have tied to the actual movie. >> we have some information, i believe some of it is public.

weak weakening? >> reporter: well, jennifer, there's been a lot of questions about this this past week. what you've seen this image of invulnerability that the assad regime had this past week. that's gone away. it's the fact that you had more and more members of the army there defecting. but especially high ranking generals. a couple of weeks ago, you had the highest ranking military official yet in syria fleeing the country. the last 24 hours, you had two more generals fleeing, going into turkey, joining the opposition, defecting. you've seen more and more rank and file members of the sian military join the opposition, become rebel fighters with the free syrian army. they call it -- [ speaking arabic ] >> and diplomatic defections. in the last week and a half, you had the highest ranking diplomatic defection, the former ambassador to iraq. very high official in the syrian regime. he defected, as well.

put all this together, and does lead to a lot of questions about how much of a grip on power bashar al assad has at this time. >> thank you very much. maybe signs that the power is shifting. when we come back, we'll have more of the latest from aurora, colorado. the investigation, the victims, and the survivors.

holmes may have been planning this attack for months, and he wanted to kill or hurt anyone looking for information about him in the aftermath of the attack. we now know the name of all 12 people killed in the tragic shooting. many were under 30 years old. the youngest victim just 6. police say the theater where the shooting took place will remain closed until at least wednesday. that gives them time to complete their investigation. holmes' defense team will get access by tuesday, we're told. today is an important day for people here in aurora, colorado. president obama is headed here to meet with families of the victims. and jim spellman is near the apartment complex where james holmes lives. good morning, what do we know about the president's agenda today? all right. we've lost jim spellman. we'll get back to him in a moment. i want to talk about this

young, under 30 years old. one was a 6-year-old girl. her mother was also critically wounded in the shooting. by now your own children may have caught some of the news of this tragic shooting, and they may be asking you a whole lot of questions. how do you explain this violence to them? psychologist eric fisher joins me from atlanta. good morning. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> i guess a lot of parents are wondering how do you speak to your kids about a horrific event like this without scaring them? what do you say? >> this is a tough event because, first of all, you have to ask should your kids be viewing news events about events so tragic and horrific. below the age of 8 to 10-years-old, kids see the world very literally. things are big and close, meaning something that happens in colorado could feel like it's next door. they could have, you know, a colorado street or a colorado shopping mall or something that they don't understand where these events are and how big they seem to them because the

world seems very small. so talking to them about these things can be very tricky. you want to understand their age. you want to understand their development, their maturity. and again, you want to hear how -- what language are your kids using if they are talking about it. so sometimes asking them questions about what they know is the best place to start. >> and eric, if all children mature differently, i mean, how do parents know if they should be shielding their kids from violence or talking honestly about it? a lot of parents say i don't let my kids watch the news. what is the answer? >> well, the thing to look at, too, is not only are we looking at what they're seeing on the news, we have to look at what they're seeing on television, in video games, in their cartoons. average hour of kids' tv is 20 to 25 acts of violence in it. and this rate of violent acts is up every year it seems.

we have to realize our kids are not just seeing this on the news, but we have to see it in the movie theaters, too. i believe really that kids younger than 13 should really be shielded from violence. it's not about our kids growing up in a bubble. it's understanding what they're able to process cognitively, emotionally, mentally, and how we as parents helping them to process this information. >> so it sounds like you're saying that part of the problem is that parents feel comfortable bringing children to movies like "the dark knight rises." a pg-13, but what would you tell a parent who says pg-13 content is appropriate for their kids? >> you know, i just wrote a blog on my web site that was about the language of violence. and what we have to look at is the idea that our kids are learning a language from the moment they're born on this planet. and the language isn't just the

words we speak. it's the things we see, the things we hear. it's what we're exposed to. for example, my concern about a 3-month-old being in this movie is at that age you're not seeing much, you're hearing. and movies are loud, first of all. so auditorially, it's an overwhelming environment. think about how that affects a child who's growing up in an environment like that. we talk about the effects of kids who grow up in violent homes, who are exposed to violence. but i think we also have to look at the effect of violence on our kids that they see, like we said, in tv, movies, and in -- just in the environment around them. >> eric fisher, thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. today is an important day for people in aurora, colorado. president obama headed here to meet with the victims' families. jim spellman is at the apartment complex where james holmes lives. jim, good morning. what can you tell us about the

president's agenda today? >> reporter: he'll arrive later this afternoon. he's expected to meet with victims and family members of people who were deceased. he'll of course meet with the leaders. we know that the governor will be here for the vigil later today. the president, however, will not stay for the vigil. he's expected to make a quick comment to the press and then just meet with families. then he'll head to san francisco. that vigil, though, i think will -- will doubtlessly be a big thing for people in this area. and i think a lot of people will be really glad that -- just to know that the president came and even though he doesn't appear at the vigil, that he was there to try to comfort some families. >> and tomorrow looking ahead, the suspected gunman, james holmes, will be in court for his first hearing. probably not expecting a lot to come out of that, right? >> reporter: no. i mean, i'm sure like you i've been to many of these first appearances. generally not a lot happens. with the court records being sealed in this case, they may

charge him. we may know exactly what they charge him with. they may go through a hearing to deal with bond issues and how they're going to hold him. it's going to be tried by the state of colorado. we'll see him, it will be the first time we're able to see him in person. there's been no perp walk. the first chance to see him up close and personal since the terrible shooting friday. >> yeah. judging lie the flurry of emails -- judging by the flurry of emails i got, there's a lot of confusion about this other person that police were interviewing. police mentioned some inaccurate reports. have we nailed that down? what do we know about that? >> reporter: yeah. right. last night, there were multiple reports that there was a potential second suspect in this case. aurora police wanted to come out and knock that down. they said, yes, they interviewed a man that they described as an associate of james holmes. they said that at this point they have no reason to believe that he was involved in the incident. i think what you're seeing is now that they're able to get into the apartment, having rendered it safe, now they have all the evidence they can work

off of. we know they took out a computer, what notes he may have had, that will really help their investigation. as that happens, you'll see them interviewing more and more people, chasing down as many leads to put together exactly what happened and maybe what why. -- maybe why. >> we'll check back later this morning. also this morning, a very strange story involving michael jackson's mother. is katherine jackson okay? that is the question this morning after conflicting reports over her whereabouts.

so we're getting conflicting reports this morning on michael jackson's mother, katherine jackson. the 82-year-old was reported missing late saturday, but her son, jermaine, tweeted she's fine and resting in arizona. what's very confusing here is that her own lawyer still says that she's worried about her, worried for her safety. a missing persons report came in just a few days after we learn good a dispute between mrs. jackson's advisories and several of her -- advisers and several of her children and legal affairs. there's a fight between members of the jackson family. money, obviously, at stake here. there's been so much drama in the past between members of the family. joining us from san diego for more on this strange unfolding drama is cnn's alan duke. good morning. mrs. jackson's lawyer says she's worried about mrs. jackson's safety. do we know for sure that she's okay? >> well, they don't know because

they've not been able to actually reach her for a week. not since she left on sunday of last week for a concert to go to albuquerque where she never arrived. she left her calabasas home with daughter rebbi, and it appears based on everything i'm told that she is with some of her children. however, her lawyer, her manager, and her grandchildren, michael jackson's children, appear very concerned about their grandmother's safety. in fact, the 14-year-old daughter of michael jackson, paris, in the custody of the grandmother tweeted, yes, my grandmother is missing. i haven't spoken to her in a week. i want her home now. and she in fact tweeted the telephone number for her security guard saying if anybody sees my grandmother, please call the authorities or this number. it's unclear exactly why they're worried other than the fact that they've not been able to reach

the grandmother who is never out of touch with michael jackson's children. the ones who have been living with her since their father died three years ago. >> so is there anything we know about their relationship with jermaine? is that strained? >> reporter: well, it's not just jermaine but randy and rebi and janet and tito all signed this letter just this past week that was blasting the people closest to katherine, her lawyer, her manager, and nephew trent jackson, who is with her constantly. and that sort of shows a riveft. keep in mind la toya, marlin, and jackie jackson did not join in the letter. what we're seeing, frankly, is fault lines in the jackson family that we've seen before have basically erupted into an earthquake. and it's going to be interesting to see what happens. basically, paris is saying, please, let me talk to my grandmother. i want to make sure she's okay. >> so at this point, is this a family drama, or have

authorities been called? >> reporter: no, they've actually filed a missing persons report in the los angeles county sheriff's department missing persons homicide unit, that's actually investigating this. >> her children say, as you mentioned, that katherine jackson is being mistreated by her advisers. mistreated sounds like a tough word especially when you think about a woman in her 80s. is there any valid ity to that? >> reporter: well, as far as her advisers, some of her children say she's going given bad advice, advised ton contest the will. however, it was almost three years ago that the will was validated by courts all the way up to the california supreme court. and lawyers say legally there's no way that they can get that will unvalidated at this time. that's sort of passed. there's risk about her finances that her children disagree with her advisers on. we'll see what that leads to. >> you were mentioning how paris

has been doing some tweeting on this. is this -- >> reporter: paris has been tweeting, very vocal. she's upset and has been very several days. i understand she got into a lephone shouting match with janet jackson when janet, according to these people close to paris, told her she couldn't talk to her grandmother this week. that's what led to all this. >> all right. alan duke in san diego, thank you very much for that update on this very bewildering story, shall we say, watching that unfold among the jackson family. the suspect in the sheert shooting left a damning trail of evidence. authorities say his plan was in the works perhaps for months. a close look at how defense attorneys might try to defend james holmes. that's a few names longer. you see us banon busier highways. on once empty fields. everyday you see all the ways all of us at us bank are helping grow our economy. lending more so companies and communities can expand,
