'Dark Knight Rises' massacre, 12 shot dead in Colorado 'Batman' screening
The FBI is considering raising the national security level nationwide following the shooting.
The Paris premiere of 'The Dark Knight Rises' has already canceled due to tragic events in Colorado.

A suspect gunman, James Holmes, 24, of Aurora, was caught by police outside Denver. He was wearing a gas mask, set off an unknown gas and fired into a crowded Colorado movie theatre at a midnight opening of the latest Batman movie, killing at least 12 people and wounding at least 50.
President Barack Obama said he was saddened by the "horrific and tragic shooting".
It was the worst mass shooting in Colorado since the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, where two students opened fire and killed 12 classmates and a teacher.
