>> so, this has been a long day and i appreciate how long a day it's been for all of you in the media. we are -- seeing the -- this community rise up and do the things that great communities do. we are dealing with this, 70 -- not 71, the double reporting there but the -- the storey that will come out of this, how in a remarkablely short amount of time -- the police responded to this situation. them being efficient. the -- ability of our hospitals, in remarkablely short order to take care of all of the deaths in -- incredible system -- not -- not saying it

was all perfect. as this story is told it'll be remarkable. we still -- had 30 patients in the hospital as of 3:30. 11 still in critical condition. you know this is -- it's an act that defies description. you can't connect emotions we normally think of, everybody i have talked to today is filled with a -- an anger that can't find focus. i think that -- the challenge for all of us, all of us as a community is to recognize which have to move past that -- a level of responsibility that is individual as -- clearly disturbed. i'm not -- we will or will not know exactly the roots of that, how deep that disturbance is.

where it came from, we are -- clear that we are going to -- rise back and lift ourselves above this. i visited several of the families in the hospital and we will have -- some -- when you have that it many people that have been injured you will have people with lifetime disabilities. as a community beginning to come together. giving first.org with in three hours we had $125,000. they raised money. this is through one of the hospital networks, all the hospitals will participate. >> listening live to the government of colorado. first of all praising the emergency response after the mass shooting in the movie theater. he said that 30 people are still in the hospital. 11 are in critical. he called it an act that defies description. we will break away from this. we will hear from the police chief. when that happens we will bring

owners, though they have some of the nation's most strict gun laws which -- he says they aren't a cover all. >> even if the crime rate is -- a little lower, people are always going to find ways to go around that. >> every gun used is legal here including the ar15. >> this it ar15 perfectly legal may look scary but it's no more dangerous and could do no more damage than this normal looking rifle. >> don believes the additional reasonable laws. >> my view has always been we won't abolish guns but we have a dangerous tool. a lot of the mental health --

health issues. >> reporter: but the anti gun tide has shifted. in 1990 more than three out of for wanted stronger gun laws. five-years later that was down to 62%. five-years ago it was an even split and last year down to 44%. so, tough to get new laws passed. reporting like. ktv i can channel 2news. >> with we are still learning about the suspected shooter, james holmes. we know he bought a ticket to the midnight premire of batman and had red hair and said he was the joker. he left the theater at some point and then opened fire when he returned. he was dressed in black with full body armor and a gas mask. >> noelle walker is here with what we found about the ties in northern california. >> anyone we talked to who knew the boy they called jimmy is shocked and stunned to find he is the suspected shooter. >> reporter: the shooting

old going to grow up to do something? there was no trauma or violence or anything going on. >> reporter: now the family released a statement saying in part our hears go out to those who were involved in this tragedy and to the family and friends of those involved . >> live pictures now, this is the police chief of aurora speaking. >> this evening at 4:00, members of the police department and the many supporting agencies that have provided victim service to support us met with approximately seven family and friends, 70 members of -- family and friends who have not had an accounting of their missing loved ones. we met with them for approximately 90 minutes, we discussed all our efforts to identity the ten bodies, in the

theater, and do the best we could to deal with their grief and mourning. we are hopeful that sometime in the next hour we will get a confirmed list of the ten deceased and begin the painful process of meeting with those families and confirming what has happened to their loved ones. i can't say enough the support of all our colleagues and local law enforcement in handle that difficult task and we are also aided by our own police department counselors. aurora public schools has made available two high schools for tomorrow beginning at 9:00 a.m. for professional grief counseling other resources, including the resources of aurora mental health and the red cross. those two schools were open at nine, stew was with us to meet with the families and support the superintendent and the

public schools has been great. in addition -- i will talk a little about the para street location, evacuated, five apartment buildings including the apartment building of the subject. those vacantes, have been staying at central high school. again with the support of aurora public schools, with regard to the paris location, it's a very vexing problem how to answer that apartment safely. i have never seen anything like what the pictures show us is in there. i see a lot of wires, trip wires, jars full of ammunition, jars full of liquid, something, things that look like mortar rounds, we decided this evening to postpone action on that until tomorrow, sometime, all our folks were taxed and we needed a break.

we also with the help of the federal government were bringing in resources to consult on how to deal with that problem. we are hopeful we will address and resolve that problem tomorrow. unfortunately this means that the family that were evacuated, have to spend an evening? the evacuation center. we are at this time allowing families one by one to go back into four of the five buildings to get medications, our hope is that -- we will resolve that tomorrow. with regard to the investigation -- i can tell you we know more about the subject. we know we left the university medical secure program on a voluntary separation, we know he is from riverside, california and attended uc california riverside campus. neighbors report to us that he lived alone and kept to

himself. i have the same cautions about the social media, one of the things man modern investigators do is watch what appears on the internet to see what clues we can find and you know you do that too. in the year of blogs and everything else we just caution you that everything you read may not be true. with regard to our theaters in aurora, we are -- there are four theaters in aurora that show this movie and until further notice and extra security at those theaters out of an aboundance of caution. i have been getting phone calls from colleagues around the country asking about this it -- i told them i don't know what you should do but that's what we should do. we are staffed in all our districts, we are in 12 hour shifts, because of demands, to support -- the crime scenes and

-- the new event on paris and because of the swat team and the denver police swat team if we have any demands over the next couple days for those kind of assets we will turn to our colleagues to help us. the aurora town center will be open tomorrow. they will be cooperative with the police department. i have a new tip line if there are any tips, the crime stoppers number also offering a general information line, for the community, not for the press. i think the press knows how to reach us but this is for the community if they have any questions, the general information number, our suspect is now in jail. i just got a call from the sheriff. he asked if i wanted his

picture released and i said no. i won't be releasing his picture for investigative reasons. he will be arraigned, have first court appearance 8:30 a.m. on monday in district court. . >> there has been an overwhelming outpouring of support for our families, four our victims and community and cops, firefighters, ems people, for investigators by this entire community. we have received letters of concern, sympathies, just remarkable. our community restaurants started giving pizza and food into the station houses here, just to show support for the police department and it's absolutely wonderful. >> i have an announcement on behalf of the city. sunday at 6:30 p.m. a prayer vigil right here in front of the m center. the governor and mayor will speak and there will be an

appropriate moment for reflection for the community. i want to offer a huge thank you to our coroner, michael for all he has done to help us with the crime scene to speed up the recovery and identification of the bodies. in terms of the next press briefing we expect to brief you tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 p.m. i will take questions. >> any kind of motive at this point? has he said anything about why he has done this? >> if we had information we wouldn't share it. we would let that play out in the course of the criminal prosecution? >> is he talking to you? >> i won't talk about that. >> . >> we have been listening to the police chief and learned very interesting new information about what happened before we joined him the chief said that the suspects bought

thousands of rounds of ammunition over the internet. he said that he could have slot more -- more than 100 rounds alive from the rifle he had and he learned they have evacuated five units of the apartment complex where the alleged gunman lived. the chief said he had never seen anything like it, that apartment is booby trapped. the chief said there are jars full of anno and they will hold off before they go in there until tomorrow because they are just exhausted from the long day. >> back at the scene, the police chief described a horrible task underway. they are still working to identity and make a list of the ten people who were killed inside the movie theater. he described the meeting with 70 members, friends and family of those believed to be inskied said police told those concerned family members and loved ones we are still working on getting a list together. that happened two hours ago.

the police department can get a list of all ten people who died inside the theater when the shooting happened. he described a large amount of support for the community. he said there are grief counselors, there there be a prayer vigil. i believe this some day he mentioned the suspect who is in jail makes his first court appearance at 8:30 on monday morning. as we continue to lauren admonish we are staying on the story all night long for you. our crews are working on new information -- at the 10:00 news eric will report live from aurora with the new information police are uncovering there. >> we will be back with more right after this. and hot, hearty sub.
