(UPI) -- A gunman burst into an Aurora, Colo., movie theater showing the new Batman movie and opened fire Friday, killing at least 12 people and wounding about 50.

Police said the heavily armed man wearing body armor was taken into custody in the theater's parking lot without incident, KUSA-TV, Denver, reported.

The suspect was identified as James Holmes, 24, of Aurora by several media outlets.

"He did not resist. He did not put up a fight," Aurora Police spokesman Frank Fania told CNN.
