Aurora Batman shootings: Police prepare to enter flat

Police spotted wires and booby-traps when they tried to enter Mr Holmes' flat on Friday

Police in the US state of Colorado are to make a second attempt to enter the flat of James Holmes, suspected of shooting dead 12 people and injuring 58 at a Batman film screening on Friday.

They spotted booby-traps and wires in an initial reconnaissance of his home.

A man in a gas mask and body armour threw tear gas canisters at a midnight screening, then fired on the crowd in Aurora, a suburb of Denver.

Mr Holmes, 24, was arrested outside the cinema, police said.

FBI agents and police discovered his flat was booby-trapped when they used a camera at the end of a 12-foot pole to look inside.
