《蝙蝠侠》枪击案嫌犯身份曝光：24岁神经学博士自称“小丑”
Police are investigating an account on a sex cruising website which appears to have been set up by James Holmes, the grad school dropout who allegedly killed 12 people at a screening of the new Batman film on Thursday night.
While there are a couple of minor discrepancies in the account, including a birth date and height which are slightly different to those reported by officials, it is convincing enough to have attracted the attention of police, according to Mediaite.
The man's red hair fits with the statement by NYPD boss Ray Kelly that the gunman had dyed his hair before the cinema attack.
Holmes, 24, had painted his hair red and said he was The Joker - Batman's arch nemesis - before he tossed a gas canister into the late-night showing of The Dark Knight Rises and began firing, according to New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
'It clearly looks like a deranged individual,' Kelly said of the shooter at a news conference, CBS reported. 'He had his hair painted red. He said he was "The Joker", obviously the enemy of Batman.'
It has also emerged that Holmes, who is accused of killing 12 and injuring 58 after buying a ticket to the film, had been studying at the University of Colorado's medical campus until June this year.
His shocked mother confirmed that he was behind the massacre, telling reporters: 'You've got the right man.'
A federal law enforcement official told the Associated Press that Holmes, who some sources said was on Vicodin at the time of the attack, had bought a ticket to the midnight showing and went in to the screen as part of the crowd.
He then propped open an exit door as the movie played and put on donned protective a ballistic helmet, vest, throat protector, gas mask, black tactical gloves.
Witnesses said he threw a smoke grenade and waited for it to explode before opening random fire with an AR-15 assault rifle, a Remmington 12-gauge shotgun and a 40-caliber Glock handgun. He also had another 40-caliber Glock in his car, police said.
He moved up the cinema aisle shooting anyone who tried to flee.
Twelve people died in the horrific attack. The youngest victim is believed to be just 12. Scores of injured victims are now fighting for their lives; the youngest is just three months old, and is believed to have been shot at blank point range in the back.
【新闻快讯】
据外媒报道，美国丹佛市郊奥罗拉的《蝙蝠侠前传3：黑暗骑士崛起》首映现场20日发生一起枪击事件，造成12人死亡，59人受伤。警方随后逮捕了该案嫌犯，并公布了其身份和照片。
经过调查，这名嫌犯名为詹姆斯·霍姆斯，1987年12月13日生，身高1.8米左右。他在袭击时身着黑衣，穿着防弹背心，头戴护目镜或防毒面具。
美联社报道称，霍姆斯是本地人，他曾在科罗拉多州丹佛医学院学习神经科学，将获得博士学位，但在上个月因不明原因退学。霍姆斯以前没有任何犯罪记录，他也没有合法的持枪证，因此警方找到的4把枪支——突击步枪、雷明顿猎枪、两把手枪——来源成疑。有报道认为，嫌犯在作案前做了较为充分的准备，装备较先进，但他的作案动机仍不明确。
一名当地警方官员也在接受媒体采访时说：“他自称就是《蝙蝠侠》系列电影中的那个小丑。”纽约警方工作人员雷·克里同时表示嫌疑人詹姆斯将头发染成红色，和小丑的扮相一致。詹姆斯在被捕的时候也曾对逮捕他的警员说：“我就是‘小丑’”。
