taken to a field and blown up. hello, i'm bruce johnson, everybody. thanks for joining us. several new developments in the colorado shooting spree tonight. president obama will be flyingto aurora tomorrow. all of the dead have been identified including a 6-year- old girl. a survivor describes in detail from his hospital bed what went on during the attack, and tonight we're learning more about the suspect, james holmes. police say he was packing as many as 6,000 rounds of ammunition. we've got team coverage for you beginning with teresa garcia. >> reporter: bomb crews safely detonated the chemicals and accelerants they say james holmes left for police in his aurora, colorado, apartment. >> this apartment was designed to kill whoever entered it. >> reporter: police say the suspect's front door was fitted with a trip wire. nearby, at least 30 shells described as fireworks the size of softballs. saturday afternoon, a controlled explosion disabled the bomb inside.

investigators also collected evidence outside the apartment, including a shipping label from an internet store called bulkammo.com. they're said to have video of him picking up ammunition at a store. teresa garcia, cbs news. >> 26 people remain hospitalized after that deadly attack. seven of them in critical condition. piers oferrell is one of the lucky ones. he's being discharged from the hospital tomorrow. he was at the theater with a friend when a gunman burst in and started shooting. >> i knew exactly what was about to happen. he was holding a shotgun. and i watched him fire the first two rounds. he fired them directly into the front row. and my first thought was just get down, you know. so my friend and i just kind of

grabbed and just hit the deck. and just tried to lay as flat as possible. and as i'm laying there, i'm just praying. i'm just praying. he had started with a shotgun and it just literally lit up the theater when he shot that first round. i mean, it was like a mini explosion, you know. it lit up the theater. that's when i hit the deck. and you could just hear the shots getting closer and closer. >> he was shot twice in the attack. doctors say he'll carry shrapnel in his body for the rest of his life. with a breathing tube still in, stephen barton recounted his chilling experience as the shooting started. >> it was coldly calculated, definitelily. it seemed very methodical, just the rate he was firing and how he was in moving position.

he was just like unloading into the crowd. it seemed to me to be very purposeful and methodical. i don't remember between the time that i saw the shooting start, when i fell to the ground, he didn't move at all. he was just shooting from the same position. and then once i got up to leave, i did not look the other way. >> doctors say many of the shooting victims now face a very long recovery. some of the injuries may be life-long. tonight, all 12 victims have been identified. eight males, four females. the youngest victim a 6-year- old girl. andy dalton is the great aunt of the youngest victim to die in the mass shooting. the family says the toddler's mother is in icu with a bullet lodged in her neck. >> her whole life has changed in a flash for what? you know? i mean, she still doesn't know

her daughter's gone. >> jessica is another victim. she moved to denver from texas about a year ago. friends and colleagues describe her as outgoing, smart and witty. she blogged about surviving a shooting in toronto that killed two people and sent others to the hospital. alec sullivan was celebrating his 27th birthday with friends at the batman movie. he was looking forward to his first wedding anniversary on sunday. 23-year-old is among the dead. her family says the news was heartbreaking. john larimar was also killed. his parents released a statement saying the navy had notified them that their son was among the dead. jonathan blunt's girlfriend told reporters that he pushed her under a seat to save her. he couldn't save himself. a. j. would boyt's family said he was a loving young mandating a beautiful young lady with him at the time. we are blessed that she

survived this incident. andrea mccarren is in colorado helping out the sister station down there, kusa. thanks for joining us right now. the fbi is down there in force. help us understand what are they doing? >> reporter: a lot of agents and specialists in explosives were brought in here from quantico. and what's happened this afternoon after the successful detonation by the bomb squad, a lot of the materials that will be considered evidence will be brought back to virginia, back to the quantico base for analysis. >> you've got a sense of what's going on there in colorado. tell us more about the victims. what do you hear? >> reporter: first of all, we now know of the 12 victims, we know of 3 young men who all put themselves in harm's way to save the lives of the young women that they were with. >> there's no doubt back here that people are convinced this could have happened anywhere. it could have happened right here in the washington area. but people are trying to get on with their lives. i think from the press

conference we heard coming out of colorado today, that's what officials there are urging people to do, right? there is an isolated incident, don't be paralyzed by this. are you hearing that? >> reporter: absolutely. i thought it was interesting that the governor of colorado said that some of his staff members actually took their children last night to the movies, not to batman specifically, but to a movie theater so as to demonstrate that they will not be deterred by the evil act of just one person. >> right. and we would be giving james holmes a victory if we were paralyzed by this. talk to me about james holmes. what do they expect to find in that apartment? the guy was not on the computer that much, or if he was on the computer, he certainly wasn't on the web that much. what do they expect to find in that apartment? >> reporter: this has been an operation he has obviously been planning for months and months. in fact, over the last four months, apparently he has been receiving significant deliveries in the mail. >> a lot of people back here are convinced it really doesn't make any difference what they come to when trying to figure out his motive.

the guy, if he did this, is deranged. but what are the fbi agents trying to piece together beyond that, beyond his motive? what are they doing with this investigation? >> reporter: what our sources have been telling us is that possibly the impetus for some of his actions was his failure academically. >> andrea mccarren reporting for kusa and channel 9 here. thanks a lot for that. the movie massacre is having a ripple effect across the world with banning costumes in some theaters and the children are watching these events unfold. surae chinn has that part of the tragedy. >> reporter: it can be confusing to children. experts say this is the time to talk to your kids. what you say, though, can depend on their age, but it is apparent that children are reacting to this senseless act. >> it was kind of heartbreaking to see so many families lost their loved ones. >> reporter: with heavy heart,

12-year-old and his 15-year-old brother and cousin along with mom all came to see the new batman movie. >> i was kind of afraid there was going to be another shooting, but it felt kind of safe, that they were taking precautions to keep movie theaters safer. >> this is pretty much like being struck by lightning. >> reporter: he's the chairman of the psychiatry department at howard university. he spoke with 9 news now last night. >> this is an excellent opportunity for parents to dialogue and help kids to understand that we try to protect them and take care of them. you definitely need to talk to your kids about it. but he knew very much about what's going on. >> reporter: dominique had a conversation with his 9-year- old son before coming to see the movie in silver springs. >> he just wanted to know why it happened more so than how it happened. he was just like why would someone do this? >> sometimes people do things because they, for want of a better word, are evil. we can also say that sometimes people do it because they have mental problems and sometimes people do things that don't

make sense to us. sometimes we are truly innocent victims. >> i knew it was going to be a little harder, you know, it was going to be kind of like the movies are going to bring bad thoughts and stuff. but still i feel like we shouldn't let this really get to our heads that much and we should just enjoy the movie. >> reporter: some experts say with children ages 4 to 6, parents can reassure them they're okay. ages 7 to 12, they know something like that can happen to them. you can talk about the facts and let it sink in. sometimes children may not ask questions right away or they may bring it up days later. with teenagers, it could be more difficult, but let them know it's okay to be upset and that these incidents are rare. i'm surae chinn for 9 news now. >> stay here for the latest developments on the colorado shootings and of course you can always go to wusa9.com any time for new information. virginia candidates for senator go head to head.

we'll find out what they had to say coming up. we have some beneficial rain today and a little overcast skies. i'll let you know what to expect on your sunday morning

hiv and aids take center stage here in washington. bill gates, one of the world's richest people is here along with a host of other well-known figures. the international aids conference kicked off tonight with a concert and reception. ken molestina reports. >> reporter: the stars turned advocates for the fight against aids are in town to kick off a week-long international conference aimed at getting yet another step closer at finding a cure for the disease. this event at the kennedy center was head lined by bill gates. >> the challenge is a lot of people don't know they have

aids. >> we're trying to find drugs that not only are reliable and successful but are endurable. >> reporter: the last time the conference was held in the u.s. was back in 1987. since then the aids epidemic has spread across the country and especially in d.c. where it's reported many are living with aids. it's something those at the conference are aware of. >> it has an aids rate comparable to a middle african nation. >> it's at the forefront of everybody's conscience. >> reporter: across town at the washington national theater an enter faith service was held honoring the aids quilt memorial. there was praise and celebration. all of it paying tribute to a symbol for all the lives lost to aids. >> i think it was really important to come support my friends who are sick. >> reporter: i'm ken molestina, 9 news now. >> the international aids conference will run all next week at the washington

convention center. former president bill clinton, along with his wife are among the many dignitaries expected to address that conference. two former virginia governors went head to head in a debate for a u.s. senate seat. republican george allen and democrat tim cain squared off before members of the virginia bar association in hot springs, virginia. allen criticized cain for serving as chairman of the democratic national committee while he was also governor of the state. cain says allen helped turn massive surpluses into massive deficits. the candidates took each other to task over taxes. >> tim as governor tried to raise taxes by $4 billion including on people earning as little as $17,000 a year. >> you talk like a fiscal conservative, but you've never governed like one, and you may say you're going to do it if you get a third chance, but we can't afford to take that chance. >> both candidates are vying for a seat vacated by jim webb,

but they've been locked slew a virtual dead heat in the polls for about a year now. here's a story we first reported on 9 news now at 6:00. families of inmates at the d.c. jail say they're being charged to visit the jail. specifically they say the d.c. corrections department is forcing them to pay some $9 to visit and chat with their incarcerated family members on camera. the teleconferences are recent. we don't know how the money is being used or what happens if a family simply can't pay. we haven't been able to reach a spokesperson for the corrections department this weekend. we'll stay on this. just ahead, will we get

one of those days to stay in the house. i don't know if it was a good day or bad day. >> if you like it for your garden, i say great. i have friends worried about their tomatoes and peppers and all the things they carefully planted in the spring and we've been hit with very little rain at all throughout the summer

season. that's changing for us. instead of the thunderstorms that came rolling on threw, we're now getting some of the light, gentle rain, almost a mist most of the day. i'm popping up a larger view to show you the stationary front down to the south. it's between southern virginia and north carolina. that's been the focus for showers and storms. that means instead of getting the thunderstorms in our area, we've been getting the gentle rain and most of the wider pops have been staying well down to our south. that should remain the case as we head into tomorrow. right now on doppler 9000, we're starting to calm down nicely. a few of those showers heading off toward the eastern shore. it's been a pretty tough weekend for people on virginia beach and out toward ocean city, overcast skies and dreary conditions. things are looking fairly goodat the capitol building. we have light fog into the early morning hours. right now temperatures are in the upper 60s to near 70

degrees inside the beltway. we'll stick to lows in the 60s tonight. it will be a little bit after cool start to your sunday morning. a little bit on the dreary side with the dampness in the ground, we will see patchy fog in the morning. give yourself extra time if you're headed out to sunday services. warm up tomorrow. we're back into the middle 80s. average this time of year is around 90 degrees. we could have a few thundershowers but most of us will miss out on it. monday the temperatures will return to the 90s. here's overnight tonight. showers and a little drizzle along with patchy fog early on. then we move out of the 60s and 70s. we keep on pushing into the afternoon hours. and it should be pretty good as we hit about 85 degrees on average. there will be a slight chance for the isolated showers and thunderstorms late in the day tomorrow. that's primarily due to the daytime heating, which is going to destabilize us for a little bit. i think the temperatures should hover around the middle 80s for

most. we could hit a few upper 80s in some spots, but futurecast is really painting a mixed picture here with hit or miss showers. by early morning hours, we're pretty good in and around the beltway, but we might see showers in our southern zones. then into the afternoon, we're doing just fine but late in the day we could see a shower or thunderstorm start to pop as we head into the afternoon hours. so here's what you need to know for your day planner tomorrow. fog in the morning, warm temperatures through midday and late afternoon. and that next three days we're calling tomorrow a code yellow. that's because of the fog in the morning. it should be out of here by about 10:00 a.m. and then things will be looking good as we head into the rest of the forecast. monday and tuesday, 90-degree temperatures are back. it will feel hot once again back to that summertime roll. >> we've been a little busy in the news room. didn't peek at the game. they played the second game. don't tell me they lost. >> do you really want to know? do you want to wait until after

the break? >> i'll wait. >> today felt like one of the biggest games of the year for the nats. washington shakes off one of the worst defeats of the year and regroup against the braves right on their tail. a miraculous return and played a role in the game tonight. tiger tamed up the british, but he still feels like he can rally.

he's been the spark plug, a bolt of youth oriented energy that has taken the national media by storm. bryce harper firmly entrenched in the nats lineup and they need his bat, his speed, his everything. there's a little hitch in that plan right now. after the young gun took this ball off his ankle in game one of today's double dip. he tried to walk it off but

couldn't. then davy johnson took him out a half inning later. aggressive rehab was the approach between games. adam laroche saw harper trying to get ready for game two and gut it out. here's what he saw. >> it was pretty swollen the inning after it happened when i looked at it. so we just told him if you can go, go, but we understand. we've all been hit like that and it hurts. and if you can't get around in the outfield, go tell somebody. >> all right. so game two, there's harper on the bench sitting it out. doesn't look good. john lennon took the hill, looking like m.c. hammer, you can't touch this. first start of the year, seven innings. he only gave up two runs. to the 8th, harper getting the call and right away, he is going the opposite way. you sow him limping as he comes around first base. then he stole second base. so he's in scoring position. and danny espinosa comes up and

delivers. harper limping on the bad ankle and comes around to score. the nats win 5-2. but the story tonight, john lennon. >> i've never been on a first place team, so that was kind of cool. and then i've never been in a game where it really meant something, so every game means something, but right now, they're in a battle for east and you know, i just want to go out there and do my job. >> all right, here's a game that means something. will baltimore still in the playoff chase. check this out. this is game one. i'm sorry about that. edwin jackson only made one mistake in that game and that was to brian mccann who puts it in the upper realm. chipper jones, chopper jones, the braves, shutting out the nats in game one of the double dip this afternoon. 4-0. back to baltimore this evening. jim big old country strong man,

6'4", 250 pounds, and 6 11th home run in his career. orioles win 3-1, tied with the wild sox for the last wild card spot. golfers at the british open aren't complaining. it's making the course more manageable. tiger woods has been okay, but others have been better. adam scott today. tiger entering the day four strokes behind. every tiger needs to take a drink. par three, this is world ranking number 22. jack, queen, king, ace. hole in one. he said it doesn't get any better than that. i agree with him. tiger missing this putt on one. that was a hook. he also bogeyed 3 as well. but he did make it up here at six. i mean, this thing is from 50 feet. tiger needed this one, because he started off the wheels wobbling just a little bit, but he shot even par, still 600.

adam scott using tiger's old caddy, steve williams. adam scott is listening. he shot 68. he's 11 under. woods meanwhile still thinking positive. >> i just got to execute my game plan. i've got to go out there and post around what i need to post. and execute my plan. >> four-shot lead doesn't seem to be very much this year on any golf tournament that i've watched. that doesn't mean a lot. the good part is if i play a solid round of golf tomorrow, it will be very hard for the others to beat me. >> all right, some notable tee times tomorrow. 9:20 a.m. woods has never come from behind to win a major. ernie els shot 66 today. adam scott and mcdowell in the final group. in soccer, d.c. united looking to shift a little in columbus. columbus in yellow, looking like a big old bunch of bumble

bees. a stinging defeat for d.c. united. they go down 1-0. they're in third place now in the east. world team tennis, the streak. no, no world team tennis. i'll get to that in just a second. for the folks watching earlier, some of the media folks getting together to do a little two- hand touch. let's go back to the castle. all over the place. the guys in the back are trying to get me. you can't get me. let's go back to the castles and the sport times. the spreek's alive, guys. let's -- the streak's alive, guys. let's go back to the two-hand touch football, i guess. media folks versus the print folks. the tv guys won and castle wins 25 straight. >> we're going to get rain tomorrow? >> rain tomorrow, code yellow in the morning. >> good morning, everybody. we'll see you back here tomorrow. bye.

he was unltder the influence what i would perceive as pharmaceutical. >> part of the -- >>
