A man opened fire early yesterday with a shotgun at an Aurora, Colorado, theater showing the new Batman movie and then switched to other weapons, killing 12 people and wounding 58, police said.
Throwing at least one tear-gas canister, the man unleashed birdshot into the first few rows of the audience watching “The Dark Knight Rises,” said a federal official who requested anonymity. He then switched to a rifle, targeting people throughout the theater. When the gun jammed, he used a pistol, the official said.
