Denver shooting: 14 people shot dead and 50 injured at Batman premiere The shooting happened at a midnight showing of the movie in a packed theatre. Two separate devices were also said to have been found in vehicles outside following the shooting. Local Denver reporter Justin Joseph of KDVR said that, according to witnesses, the moment Batman appeared on screen a man wearing body armour and a gas mask, and wielding at least one long gun, stood up and faced the crowd What witnesses described as two "bombs" - now believed to be tear gas - were thrown into the crowd, he said. "As people ran this gunman, or gunmen, opened fire hitting people," he said. Police sources have told us there are 10 bodies inside the cinema, most of them children or teenagers, and one baby. A baby was shot at point blank range, the family were gathered around screaming. There were police on scene when it happened and one of the gunmen was captured quickly. Brenda Stuart, from 850 KOA Radio, said: "This started with a midnight showing of the new Dark Knight movie and the theatres were packed that were showing this movie. People inside tell us they thought it was part of the movie. They heard what they thought were firecrackers, loud bangs and all of a sudden they saw the bullets flying. Police officers are carting the injured to the hospital in their own cars, not waiting for the ambulances. A makeshift hospital was set up at the mall to treat those wounded in the attack. Police closed off surrounding parking lots as sniffer dogs were brought in to search for a suspected explosive device.
