enforcement official this morning, saying they believe at least a dozen explosive devices are inside that apartment. local and federal authorities are at the suspect's apartment building this morning. one he allegedly rigged with explosives. officials say it appears there incendiary guys and possibly chemical elements all linked together with wires. and are unsure how long it will take to diffuse. >> it is a very vexing problem how to enter the apartment safely. i've never seen anything like what the pictures show us. >> reporter: hundreds of residents were evacuated friday from five apartment buildings, including the one where holmes lived. meanwhile we're learning the names of some of those who were killed in friday's deadly shooting. jessica ghawi was an aspiring sports reporter. she narrowly escaped a deadly shooting in toronto last month. micayla medek's cousin said it took nearly 19 agonizing hours before the family finally

learned of her death. alex sullivan was at the theater to celebrate his 27th birthday. and matt mcquinn was killed attempting to shield his girlfriend. who was also hit by bullets, but is recovering in a local hospital. >> my daughter. >> reporter: the last number that we have is that 19 people remain in the hospital, two of them are in critical condition. we do know that grief counselors are being made available for the families of the victims, and there will be a vigil that will happen here sunday evening. back to you guys. >> rene, certainly everyone wants to know more about what could have led james holmes to do this shooting. what can you tell us about him? >> reporter: you know, that still has a lot of people scratching their heads. we don't know at this point what the motive was behind this mass shooting here. we are, however, learning more about the suspected shooter, who by the way, is behind bars

in a county jail, roughly 12 miles from where the shooting happened. he will make his first court appearance on monday, but more about him. he was a p.h.d. student at the university of colorado. he is in the process of withdrawing from the program. and one official at his undergraduate school or university said that he was a very bright student. he was top of the top. he graduated with honors. as far as a criminal past, he really didn't have in. the only brush that he had with the law is last year, a speeding summons. so that's what we're learning about him. in san diego, we know, his hometown, neighbors said he was a clean-cut nice guy but neighbors near colorado said he lived alone and kept to himself. back to you. >> thank you, rene. well, two teenagers from the bay area were reportedly inside that theater at the time of the attack. the marin independent journal

reports 19-year-old malea and 16-year-old manea sureig were in aurora for a youth conference. they say the smoke bomb landed near their seats. they are ok but a friend of theirs is suffering a wound to his arm. they described the scene as quote insane. security has been increased at movie theaters across the country including right here in the bay area. the san jose century theater on windsor boulevard brought in an armed guard to ease safety concerns. movie goers tell us they will not let the actions of a man disrupt their daily lives and activities. >> i think about stuff like that but i can't stop living my life because of it. you have to be careful. >> how do you put security for something like that? this is not an airport. >> local police departments including oakland have increased their presence at theaters to calm some people's nerves. some movie theaters are now changing their policy's after yesterday's shooting. yesterday the a.m.c. theater announced it will no longer allow masks, costumes or props that might make other people feel uncomfortable or

threatened. regal cinemas also announced that ticket holders should expect stricter controls over costumes, but did not elaborate any further. in the wake of the shooting, the studio behind the dark knight rises is holding off on announcing box office totals. the movie is projected to gross around $200 million this weekend. the "wall street journal" reports warner brothers will release the figures on monday now. meanwhile the studio is expected to cancel next week's premiers in tokyo and mexico city. a huge event in paris was cancelled yesterday after the shooting. the dark knight rises director christopher nolan is addressing the shooting. he said quote the movie theater is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me. nolan says he was speaking on behalf of the entire cast and crew. former arizona congresswoman gabrielle giffords and her husband say they are horrified by the shooting. >> i think for the folks that

were directly, directly affected by this, the victims, the ones that were not killed, and the family members, i mean it really helps to come together as a community. >> and in the face of the tragedy, marc kelly says communities often rise to the occasion and support victims' families and survivors. gabrielle giffords was talking to constituents when she was shot in the head in january of last year. six people died in that attack. we will continue to follow the colorado shooting throughout the morning. we also have continuing coverage for you on ktvu.com, including a slide show of photos from the scene at the theater. just look for the colorado shooting tab right there on our home page. >>this morning the f.b.i. is investigating after five bay area police departments received letters containing white powder. investigators say more letters could be on the way. the first letter was discovered yesterday by someone sorting the mail at the hayward police station. hazmat teams responded and determined it was flower in the

envelope. but similar envelopes were found at the san leandro, berkeley, oakland and union city police stations. police say three reputed members of a violent oakland gang have been charged with the murder of a toddler. prosecutors say 23 month old hiram lawrence, jr. was murdered last november after the gang members fires on a group of people shooting a music video in a parking lot. the shoot out was caught on the surveillance tape you see here. police say deonte huff, houston nathaniel, iii and 16-year-old frederick coleman shot nine people including the toddler. coleman's grandmother says he didn't do it. >> he was raised good, properly. this is -- i just can't -- >> the teenager, coleman will be tried as an adult for the toddler's murder. he is due in court on monday. south bay authorities are searching for a gunman who broke into a house and shot the homeowner. the person snuck into a house on higara road in east san jose

in the foothills. the owner who was asleep at the time woke up when he heard a strange noise. >> he woke up, the suspect confronts him. the suspect shot one shot towards the victim. injured him in the arm. and then the suspect fled. >> because it was dark he told police he couldn't see much except the attacker wore a dark hooded sweatshirt. >>this morning a 28-year-old woman is in jail after a judge refused bail in an alleged road rage fatal crash. yesterday, heather ann howe was charged with murder and reckless driving, producers say howe had a d.u.i. conviction in 2006, and that alcohol may have played a role in last weekend's crash. they say she was trying to run down her ex-boyfriend on his motorcycle when she hit a car, killing the driver. 56-year-old jesse garcia. a group of fishermen, surfers and beach goers are holding a protest today calling for the reopening of a san mateo county beach. martins beach has been closed for several years now after a piece of private land leading

up to the water changed hands. it's believed that sun micro system's co founder owns that land. he gated the only road to that beach cutting off public access. the protest begins at noon today at the martins beach gate. more than 50 people are rappeling down the side of a san francisco sky scraper this morning, and it's all for a good cause. organizers of the over the edge fund-raiser say about 50 people are rappeling 425 feet down the side of the grand hyatt hotel to raise money for the special olympics. much more on today's event in a live report in our 9:00 hour. good morning to you. a live look there at the bay. we have just a little bit of fog hugging the coastline this morning. most of it not even intruding inside the bay. you can see just a little sliver or finger if you want to call it. it will burn off fairly quickly. plenty of sunshine around the area, and we will continue with

the sunny skies for today. right along the coast, even the cloudy conditions beginning to break away to partly cloudy skies. areas near pacifica, down into santa cruz, looking at partly cloudy to mostly cloudy right now. half moon bay still socked in pretty good but the sun will also burn off the clouds in your area. the satellite radar view showing you a system here that will deepen and drop our way as we progress through the weekend, and into next week. this will be the next mechanism to help cool us back just a little bit. that's not going to come in time for today. today will probably be one of the warmest days in many spots. the onshore breeze will begin to strengthen tonight and then into tomorrow, we'll get a subtle cool-down. so for today, along the coast, 60s and 70s. the morning fog, partly cloudy skies, the onshore breeze, moving back in by this evening. could be a little gusty through parts of the delta but it will come late in the day. inland spots nearing 100 for some of the hottest spots, good to moderate air quality across the region for your afternoon. temperatures right now, already mild to warm.

good morning and welcome back. a live look from san jose. mostly sunny skies and 65 outside your door. >> and we are watching developing news in colorado this morning. you are looking at a live picture from aurora, colorado, that is the suspected gunman's apartment. games homes, and we've -- james holmes, we've just leshed that police and -- learned that police and advisors are trying to and -- firefighters are trying to enter that apartment now. there's still traffic by the main street but a lot of the emergency personnel out there. certainly they are concerned about what's inside that apartment authorities say they have trip wires, ammunition in regard to the ax rants they're deal -- accelerants they're dealing with. so they've got bomb experts there. you can see the ladder truck up above the apartment building. the full area is of course evacuated, as they try to keep

the area safe. certainly worried about the evidence that apartment. >> they've knowned about this boobytrapped apartment for more than 24 hours. police yesterday said we're not in a rush. everyone is evacuated out of that building. we're taking our time. it's one of the reasons why a lot of local agencies elicited the help of bomb experts in coming up with the exact plan they think is the right plan to enter the apartment while one, keeping people safe from a distance, but also as you mentioned, claudine, preserving that evidence. they want to know more about their suspect in the case that the suspect doesn't start talking. >> and of course our crew is on the scene, on the ground there. we have eric rasmussen and photo journalist erica hinderguard keeping an eye on the situation. they're pushed back a little bit as well from the perimeter area as they want to make sure again, everyone is safe. they said this morning there could be an explosion when they open the doors, if they hit a trip wire or something like that. certainly safety is a top concern. again we are hearing word they're trying to enter that apartment. >> it will be interesting to

see really what specifically the plan is. you see more police officers there on motor bikes. to go back to my point is a what exactly is that plan. they haven't really revealed the specifics of the plan they have been working on with the bomb experts over the next hour. hopefully they'll find out more about what that plan is and hopefully a successful one. they can maintain the evidence there in james holmes's apartment there in aurora, colorado. >> and we'll have a live report from erica in 10 minutes or so. in the meantime we're hearing from a victim who sur rifed that colorado shooting. pierce o'farrell was only a few feet away when a gunman fired a gas canner the into the theater then opened fire on the front row. o'farrell and his friend tried to avoid the gun fire but they were both hit. >> he said pierce, pierce i'm shot, man. i'm shot. i said me, too.

just stay down. and then he shot me a second time. >> o'farrell was shot in the foot and shoulder. he said at one point the gunman was standing over him. he said he put his face down, stayed still and prayed until the gunman left that theater. the family of a navy sailor have identified him as one of the victims killed. 27-year-old john layer mother. naval officers broke the news to his family last night. alex sullivan was celebrating his 27th birthday when he was killed. micayla medek was 23 years old. her family learned about her death 20 hours after the shooting and 24-year-old jessica ghawi was an aspiring sports caster. 12 victims died, 50 wounded. most are still in hospitals. 11 at last word are in critical condition. three members of the military were also among the wounded. and a baby who was hurt has been released from the hospital. president obama and mitt romney have not announced whether they will keep their

scheduled bay area visits next week in light of the colorado shooting. romney last traveled to the bay area in may and during that visit he appeared outside the bankrupt solyndra plant in fremont bringing attention to the president's involvement in the $500 million federal loan solyndra received. romney has scheduled three fund- raisers for tomorrow, including a $50,000 per person dinner in san francisco's pacific heights neighborhood. we are also waiting to hear if president obama will call off his east bay campaign visit on monday. he is scheduled to attend a late afternoon fund-raiser at the fox theater in oakland. occupiers and other protest groups are planning demonstrations. a memorial service will be held today for a lafayette couple who died in a plane crash last weekend. peter and mona branna were killed when their plane crashed in utah when they were flying to aspen, colorado. peter branna was a developer in lafayette and the director of the california bank of commerce. today's service is at 1:00 in danville. this weekend the hunt is on

along interstate 280 and the peninsula to find deer for tracking. biologists from the department of fish and game are using dart guns to sedate dozens of deer from wood side north to burling game. they're placing g.p.s. collars on the deer to track their movements in an effort to protect the regional deer population. the study was initiated by cal trans after a concerned resident called to complain about the number of deer being struck by vehicles. 20 in the last year. >> so we can track how it's moving in relation to the interstate, and whether or not it's crossing, how close it gets, and helps to us plan mitigation or fixes, to improve the situation. >> and a couple of those fixes could include an eight foot tall fence along the interstate, and safer access points under nests the roadway for those deer. a volunteer firefighter has pled not guilty to charges of setting four small fires in sonoma county, and other fire in san mateo county. prosecutors say that than i can't believe schmidt even -- nathaniel schmidt even tweeted about the fires as he and other firefighters responded to them.
