Twelve people were killed and another 38 wounded when a gunman burst into a cinema in Aurora, Colo., activated some sort of smoke device and started shooting at people.

Police officers found the suspect near a car behind the theater. A gas mask, rifle, handgun and at least another weapon were found there, too.

The suspect "did not resist. He did not put up a fight," according to police spokesman Frank Fania.

The suspect's motives are unknown.
