Early reports indicate that approximately 50 people were hurt and at least 14 were killed when a masked gunman opened fire during a midnight showing of the Dark Knight Rises at a mall in Aurora, Colo.

According to witness reports on Denver’s 9 News, at least one gunman fired into the audience 15 minutes into the midnight showing of the film. Several witnesses reported to 9 News that the gunman — who entered theater number 9 was wearing a gas mask and throwing tear-gas canisters at people in an attempt to stop them fleeing — fired a shotgun multiple multiple times into the audience. Aurora police chief Dan Oates say that 10 died during the attack, and four more died in area hospitals.

One person is in police custody, and authorities are saying that it appears this suspect acted alone. Police, however, are still scouring the immediate area and other local movie theaters for any possible accomplices. A Colo. bomb squad was also called to check reports that an explosion occurred within the movie theater, and to investigate a suspicious vehicle parked outside of the cinema.

At an early morning press conference, authorities said they found the gunman with a mask and weapon by a car behind the theater
