carried out and people screaming and running for their lives. we're keeping the audio down on this, because of some of the language. it was a horrific scene. chaos, darkness there. we're following every breaking detail with live team coverage. good morning to you, i'm alison seymour. >> i'm tony perkins. this morning police have now identified the suspect in the shooting. he is 24-year-old james holmes. >> this massacre happened overnight at a movie theater in aurora, colorado, which is about 10 miles outside of denver. police say the suspect opened fire during the midnight showing of the highly anticipated latest batman movie, "the dark knight rises." this morning we are hearing at least 12 people are dead and 50 others are hurt. fox5's sherri ly is live in the newsroom with the latest on this tragedy. sherri, good morning. >> good morning, allison, tony. witnesses say this shooter fired into the crowded movie theater right after the movie

started. some people apparently thought the gunfire was actual coming from the movie. people scrambled from the theater. this video from the denver post shows victims being carried out. the sound of alarms going off and people running for their lives. youtube video shows panicked people heading for the doors. some were bloodied. 12 people are dead. that's down from the initial 14 reported. about 50 others also injured, ranging in age from 3 months old to 45 years old. police say the gunman was wearing a gas mask, black clothes and a bullet-proof vest. he set off a gas canister and opened fire without saying anything. police took him into custody, now being identified as james holmes. they found him in the parking lot by his car, and inside that car they found the two guns and another weapon. the suspect told police he may have explosives in his apartment. the building has been evacuated and is being searched. police have not provided a

motive. but the fbi says it does not appear to be terrorism related. panicked movie goers reported seeing people running for exits and being shot. >> it was, like, complete chaos. like, nothing was under control at this point. i mean, at that point it seemed like the police were just trying to like get in to figure out what's going on. there were people just laying around, not being helped by, you know, any type of ambulance or any police officers. just people just laying around, just bleeding. and i don't know, it was crazy. i don't even know how to describe it. >> chaotic scene to be sure. not all the wounded were hit by gunshots. some of the victims are being treated for shrapnel wounds and chemical exposure. some of the bullets pierced the wall, going to the next theater, and those people had

no idea what was going on. some thought it was part of the movie and people started screaming and yelling that someone was shooting. tony and allison? >> sherri ly in the newsroom for us. thank you. there are two active crime scenes in colorado, the theater where the shooting happened and the suspect's apartment. the complex has been evacuated as investigators search the area. we're going to go to wisdom martin now who has more on all of this. wisdom? >> as you just mentioned, there are two active crime scenes. we're going to take a live look at one of those scenes. the initial crime scene, which was the movie theater where the shooting initially happened and where the victims were eagerly waiting and getting ready though watch the -- to watch the batman movie, a lot of people camped outside and gotten tickets to get into the movie theater early. that is the initial scene. there is a second scene involved, and this is the apartment complex that you also mentioned where investigators continue to search at this

hour. it's in north aurora. police as well as more than 100 fbi agents are there searching that apartment complex at this time. background now on some of the victims, the situation involving some of the victims, 11 people being treated at the medical center of aurora, ranging from minor to major conditions. others tear gas contamination. denver health had seven victims, one in critical, the rest in fair. the youngest victim reported a 6-year-old being treated at children's hospital in colorado, where a total of six victims were taken. their conditions unknown at this point. two people in critical condition were rushed to nearby swedish medical center and as mentioned earlier, this happened at the theater, theater room number nine. it was packed with people waiting to see this batman movie. we also had a chance to talk to the mayor of the town who says this theater is in the heart of aurora. he says this is a terrible and

dismal time. his thoughts and prayers go out to the victims. police are expecting to have an update on this situation on this shooting at 1:00 eastern time. keep in mind, we will also have the latest information on myfoxdc.com. we've got interviews with some of the people who were at the theater at the time. we have pictures, we have videos as well. we're going to have updates on myfoxdc.com and get some of these updates and get the latest information as well. of course, we're going to continue to follow this as well. tony and allison, back to you. >> thank you very much, wisdom. right now we want to tell you that they are continuing the search of the apartment and that is where jon bowman is at our sister station out in denver, colorado. jon, good morning once again. what's the latest now? >> reporter: update some of the statistics that your reporter just was reeling off. we are at the university

hospital. this is off of 225, interstate 225, which is about 10 minutes north of where the movie theater complex is. at this hospital about 20 people who have been brought in for treatment. we understand as well one of the youngest involved in this is perhaps a 3-month-old child. it's been a tragedy and a terrible situation, as it goes without saying. we now are at 17th and peoria, which is just about 10 minutes from the theater. they think his apartment might be booby trapped. they have had fbi agents working with the fire department on a ladder truck. they have broke out the back windows of the apartment. the bomb experts have put cameras inside the apartment to look around and make sure the door, the front door of the

apartment was not booby trapped and there were no more explosive devices inside of that unit. they are methodical in their search. they have swat team members from denver, denver county, adams county, jefferson county, aurora police, and denver police all here on the scene along with fbi, atf agents. they are making sure this apartment was not booby trapped, as i mentioned and did not have more explosive devices in it. apparently the suspect has made assertions that in fact he did have more bomb making materials in his apartment. so they are being very cautious and they are checking very methodically before they send the agents in. they are making sure all the residents are safe. they have evacuated them about

the last two hours and two buildings that are just adjacent, though the south of the suspect's residence, they have evacuated those buildings as well. a lot of the people ironically are sitting out in front of their apartments in lawn chairs, watching the activity, like it's a friday morning movie. a tragic movie as it were. >> jon, this is tony, i want to make sure i'm understanding you correctly. sounded like you said, the police have been inside the apartment, and there is no -- is that right? >> reporter: no. the fbi agents were using cameras. first they used what looked like some sort of infrared or night vision kind of camera that they peered inside with after breaking out the window. then they used a camera that was on a big hook. it looked like they were just moving it around inside to make sure they could see what was inside the apartment before

actually giving the all clear for agents to go in from the front side. we initially thought they would be making their entrance into the apartment through the window, which is a second floor window, off the cherry picker from the fire department, but they retreated down off of there and now the action has shifted to the front of the building. right now it's a hold situation before they send the agents in. they're trying to make sure in fact there are no booby traps inside. one comment from one of the police officers that the suspect had made some statements relating to the fact that his apartment might be booby trapped. so that is why they are being to methodical. >> using abundance of caution, understandably. you said people are outside. we now know the name of the

alleged shooter. he is 24-year-old james holmes. doesn't look like a very big apartment. are you hearing anything there about who this person might be? >> reporter: well, the only thing that i've heard is that -- initially when he was arrested, the vehicle he was arrested next to had tennessee license plates on it. but he had a colorado driver's license. we're not sure if the car might have been stolen or the license plate stolen or what. they are trying to piece all of that together. like i said, as i mentioned, there are people sitting out front of the three or four apartments that have been evacuated for the last two hours or so, kind of just sitting and kind of watching the proceedings going on. that while many workers who work at the hospital complex are making their way into work, you know, as if it was a normal friday morning. but of course, we now know it is anything but normal here in

aurora, colorado. >> this is jon bowman. we thank you for your time. it's busy there. he is a reporter with kdvr the fox station there, at the scene of the apartment. talk you again later. thank you, sir. >> reporter: not a problem, sir. the white house has issued a statement from president obama just moments ago and it says "michelle and i are shocked and saddened by the horrific and tragic shooting in colorado. federal and local law enforcement still responding and my administration will do everything we can do to support the people of aurora in this extraordinarily difficult time. we are committed to bringing whomever was responsible to justice ensuring the safety of our people and caring for those who have been wounded. as we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come together as one american family. all of us must have the people of aurora in our thoughts and prayers, as they confront the loss of family, friends and neighbors and we must stand together with them in the

challenging hours and days to come ." republican presidential candidate mitt romney also issued a statement, it says "ann and i are deeply saddened by the news of the senseless violence that took the lives of many people in colorado and injured dozens more. we are praying for the families and loved ones of the victims during this time of deep shock and immense grief. we expect that the person responsible for this terrible crime will be quickly brought to justice ." we of course will continue to cover this story happening on colorado. but also a big story here, the storms that keep on coming time after time. we had another kind of wild night last night. >> some people without power. tucker will tell us what we can expect later today. so stay with us for that. it's 12 minutes after 9:00. fox5 morning news will continue.

welcome back. police have identified the suspect in the shooting, this is from police now, 24-year-old james holmes. >> the mass correspond happened overnight in a movie theater in aurora, colorado. police say the gunman opened fire during the midnight showing of "the dark knight rises." the theater was packed. this morning we are hearing at least 12 people are dead. upwards of 50 are hurt. our own sherri ly is live in the newsroom with the latest. sherri? >> tony, you said the theater was packed. in fact, there was not a seat

left empty. the movie theater had actually opened up a second showing of this movie to fill all of the demand. witnesses say the shooter fired into the crowd. he didn't say anything, and kept shooting. take a look the some of the video that's been coming in. this one from the denver post, showing people being carried out of the theater. the chaos outside as people ran for their lives. video also showed people bloodied, screaming, yelling, someone is inside shooting. the scene dramatic and unfolding before our eyes. police say this gunman wore a gas mask and set off a gas canister inside the theater, started firing. he's been identified as 24-year- old james holmes. he's an american. some movie goers thought the shooting was part of the movie. 12 people were killed, down from the initial 14 reported. about 50 others injured, including a 3-month-old. holmes was taken into custody in the parking lot next to his

car, where police say they found a rifle, handgun and another weapon, as well as that gas mask. the fbi says this does not appear to be terrorism related. the suspect also told police he had explosives in his apartment. police, the fbi and bomb squad are searching the building, and they're using caution, concerned it could be booby trapped. at the theater witnesses say police were dragging out bodies as everyone ran for their lives. >> it was like complete chaos. like, nothing was under control at this point. i mean, at that point it seemed like the police were just trying to, like, get in to figure out what's going on and there was just people just laying around, not being helped by, you know, any type of ambulance or, you know, any police officers. people just laying around, just

bleeding, and, i don't know, it was crazy. i don't even know how to describe it. >> three people remain in critical condition at area hospitals there in the denver area. of those injured, not everyone was shot. some are being treated for shrapnel wounds and others for chemical exposure. police were able to respond quickly to the scene. that's because there were a number of officers who were right there on the scene for crowd control. they were able to get in immediately as well as put out the message to call for all the backup that was available to get there to deal with this shooting. we are expecting more information from police in aurora at 11:00 denver time, that would be about 1:00 eastern time. we should get more details about this suspect, as well as

what happened. tony and allison? >> sherri, thank you so much. all right. you know, yesterday i had heard obviously the opening of this movie a huge deal. i heard that there were 3,000 midnight showings scheduled last night. >> wow. >> most of them sold out. i know, because i just checked, i was curious, at tysons, they had 8 scheduled showings last night. big deal. a lot of people very excited about the movie. and then obviously to go to a theater and have something like this happen -- >> it's unimaginable. >> unimaginable. >> usually that's festive, midnight showing. >> some people are dressed in costume as well for that. we'll have more from the scene in aurora coming up in a little bit. all right. meanwhile got to be concerned about weather and rain, potential for heavy rain this afternoon, as you can see we have clouds out there. showers on the horizon. they'll be moving back in shortly, and perhaps periods of

heavy rain later today. let's get to the radar, get down to business here. not much happening at the moment. later today, showers already now in manassas and to the west. let's go to the next map real quick. frontal system that's hanging out across the washington area, across the mid-atlantic and got showers and storms redeveloping to our west. area of low pressure out here. lots of moisture in the atmosphere. that combination could give us pretty good rains around here, i think starting this afternoon and lingering into the night time hours. officially under a flash flood watch starting at 12 noon. we had flooding issues last night. parts of the area already saturated. 9:00a.m. not a lot going on. by 4:00, the showers and storms are back. they'll become enhanced here during the late afternoon, early evening hours. potential for slow moving thunderstorms. any storms could drop 1, 2 plus

inches of rain. be ready for it. by early tomorrow, should be clouds and early showers and then slow improvement here this weekend. by saturday afternoon, maybe a peek or two of sunshine. sunday looks great. 87 today. lots of clouds. showers and storms. some heavy rain possible. probably likely here as that flood watch continues. cloudy overnight. 70 the overnight low. weekend forecast, let's talk good news, cool temperatures. highs tomorrow only about 80. mid-80s with sunshine sunday. couple of storms redevelop by monday, tuesday. highs back in the low 90s. the 80s won't last terrible long period of time. that's weather. we'll give you an update later today. let's toss it to sarah for the latest. tucker, thank you. in the weeks since she told the story of her day time assault, local photographer liz gorman has tons of responses to her

posting. she joins us now to talk about that story. liz, thank you for coming in. we appreciate it. folks out there that haven't heard of it, it was about a week ago. what happened? >> i was walking on new hampshire avenue, headed to dupont circle, and i was minding my own business. i wasn't listening to music or looking at my phone. this gentleman on a bike, he was biking and i was walking, reached up my skirt and fondled me. he sort of laughing, and i chased after him. i couldn't catch him. >> this is the middle of the day? >> yeah. >> 2:30 in the afternoon? >> right. >> not something you would expect to happen ever, but in the middle of the day. your first thought, serious, call police. >> absolutely. >> what was their response? >> they showed up within probably three to four minutes. five police officers that showed up, and then a detective showed up. they canvassed the

neighborhood. went to some of the establishments in the area that they knew had security cameras. and still going through that footage. >> after that you decided to write about it. >> yes. >> you wrote an e-mail, you sent into collective action for safe spaces, they talk about sexual harassment, harassment and try to bring that to light. >> uh-huh. >> what you got in response was what? >> it's been very overwhelming. i've received hundreds of responses, support from both women and men, telling me their stories and thanking me for speaking out. i'm still receiving responses to this day. >> so what is it, i mean, what would you like people to know out there, take away from this i guess? there's a lot of women, i mean, your situation, i would hope anybody would call the police. >> sure. >> there are things that are considered assaults that are

not necessarily to that degree. >> right. >> when do we call the police? police reinforced you did the right thing? >> sure. if you're made to feel uncomfortable or unsafe in public in any way, i think it's appropriate to call the police. i originally called 311 because i didn't think it was at that serious. >> it was. >> and they patched me through to 911. we're all tax paying citizens and we can use the police in this way, definitely. >> so what needs to change, do you think, or what can we do differently to protect ourselves? we can't control everybody's mind set and what they think is okay to do and not okay to do. what kind of is your advice to other women out there, how to carry themselves, what to do in this situation?

>> well, there are various platforms like collectionactiondc.org. there is a platform for this. you can speak out. you shouldn't be ashamed in any way. it's not your fault, it's not about what you were wearing, where you were, what time it was, anything like that. it's okay to speak out. >> you even said, depending how you you feel, or the severity, even a cackle, having a conversation with that person. >> right. >> if you feel you're safe to do so. >> of course it all depends on the situation. >> right. >> but, you know, yeah, absolutely. >> definitely more attention needed to be brought. >> absolutely. >> you are doing that. appreciate you coming in today and sharing your story. >> thank you. >> back to you, tony and allison. >> very common. thank you very much. obviously we've had a lot of tough news today. but we are trying to start your weekend on a good note. >> still ahead, we in with the black birds. stay with us. we'll be right back. ♪

we are told that there was a number of weapons found in the apartment complex as well as buckets, as they said, buckets of bullets inside. they were not able to find from what we were told, any explosive device set to go off, perhaps a booby trap on the door, as they gained access. you can see the apartment complex from skyfox. the fire department was called in to use their bucket truck, so the fbi could actually bang out the windows and actually look inside the apartment with cameras. the fbi agent apparently assumed and confirmed there were no booby traps. we are told the agents went in through the front and actually searched the apartment. we have not gotten that

officially, but that is what we are learning. we are also being told that they have left this location, many of the swat team members and gone to another location. we're not sure where that location is, but we are trying to get that information as we speak now, nick and melody. >> jon, any word on, because we saw the fbi agents climb up the ladder, saw them being harnessed. how many, if any, them climbed inside? >> reporter: none did. basically what they were trying to do is make sure that agent was stable as he was reaching over with a camera that was attached to, it looked like a big hook that you would use to yank somebody off stage with. but they used that camera to look around inside the apartment to make sure that there were no booby traps on that door. apparently what they did was while we were out back, they went in through the front of the hallways and opened the door and looked around. >> you have been listening to what's going on live at our
