Aurora Shooting Suspect James Holmes Charged for Massacre

HeadlineJul 31, 2012

Shooting suspect James Holmes has been charged with 24 counts of first-degree murder for the killings of 12 people earlier this month at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. The rampage also left 58 people wounded, several critically, for which Holmes also faces 116 counts of attempted murder. On Monday, Holmes made his second court appearance since the massacre, with shooting survivors and relatives of the slain victims in attendance. Prosecutors have yet to announce whether they will seek the death penalty. A pretrial hearing has been set for late September.
