Masked Gunman At ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Screening Identified As James Holmes

Federal authorities have revealed the identity of the masked gunman who killed 14 and wounded at least 50 others when he opened fire at a packed movie theater as local resident James Holmes.

Holmes, who was wearing what appeared to b a gas/riot mask and a bullet proof vest, was apprehended shortly after the brutal attack. Police spokesman Frank Fania said ‘He did not resist. He did not put up a fight.”

She said, “”You have the right person…I need to call the police… I need to fly out to Colorado.”

Some reports have suggested that Holmes was influenced by ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ villain Bane, who wears a dark mask obscuring his face and causes chaos and mayhem in the movie, but these reports are as yet unconfirmed.
