Explosion at 'booby-trapped' apartment of lone wolf killer James Holmes, 24, as his mother says 'you've got the right man'
By Emine Sinmaz
Police today surrounded the apartment of the man suspected of shooting dead at least 12 people and wounding 50 others during a late-night screening of the new Batman movie after he admitted to having explosives stored at his home.
James Holmes, 24, was arrested after entering the mall in Aurora, Colorado dressed in black and wearing a gas mask and bullet-proof vest and opening fire at random.
A San Diego woman, who identified herself as Holmes' mother, said that her gut instinct told her that her son was responsible for what has become the state's worst mass shooting since Columbine.
'You have the right person,' she told ABC. 'I need to call the police... I need to fly out to Colorado.'
Holmes is believed to be a white American with no previous record other than a traffic ticket. . .
. . .
He was not any watch list that would have alerted authorities that he was dangerous, officials told NBC.
Police chief Dan Oates said that an apartment block in the north of Aurora had been evacuated as a consequence of the man's claims he had explosives at his home.
Residents told how they heard a small explosion as a police robot entered the 'booby-trapped' apartment.
A law enforcement source told CBSthat police saw what looked like 'buckets of extra ammunition' and some kind of chemical inside his home.
FBI agents and police used a hook and ladder fire truck to reach inside the building, footage from the scene revealed.
They put a camera at the end of 12-foot pole inside the apartment and were watching footage this morning of what the camera saw on a small television screen.
Television video showed an officer in a helmet and vest atop the fire truck boom smashing the window of the third-floor apartment where the 24-year-old lives.
As speculation mounts about the motive behind the mass shooting, one private investigator has said that Holmes may have been part of Occupy Wall Street's most violent faction Occupy Black Bloc.
Bill Warner told how the Batman movie portrays the OWS crowd in a negative vein, leading him to believe that may have been a cause behind gunman's rage.
Holmes opened fire at the showing of The Dark Knight Rises after setting off a smoke bomb.
