James Holmes, the man convicted for the shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, was reportedly assaulted by another inmate at the Colorado State Penitentiary. The 27-year-old inmate apparently lunged and swung at Holmes but did not injure him on October 8.

Today in a Colorado court, a judge sentenced James Holmes to a dozen life sentences and 3,318 extra years in prison for killing 12 people and injuring another 70 at a movie theatre in Aurora in July 2012.

Jurors have voted to keep the death penalty open for James Holmes, who was convicted last month of murdering 12 people during a 2012 screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Co. The trial will now move to the third phase of the sentencing phase, during which jurors will decide if Holmes receives the death penalty or is sentenced to life in prison.

James Holmes was mentally ill but legally sane when he shot 12 people to death during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Co., three years ago, according to a psychiatrist who spent 22 hours interviewing him.

While he attempts to put pressure on Congress to pass federal measures that would increase gun control, President Obama is visiting Colorado today to draw attention to its recently passed gun control laws.

Semi-nude selfies and jokes about on-campus drug use are just some of the things found on one Colorado math teacher's Twitter page.

This month was supposed to represent some sort of closure for Aurora, Colo., with the Cinemark that was the site of last summer's mass shooting set to reopen on Jan. 17 in a ceremony attended by the town's mayor and the state's governor. Instead it could also be marked by tragedy: police believe a gunman there is currently holding three or four hostages in a town house.

A silent seven-second call may prove crucial to the defense of James Holmes, the gunman charged with opening fire on a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in July.

At a hearing today, lawyers for Aurora mass shooter James Holmes said their client is mentally ill. Many have speculated that this will pave the way for a "not guilty by reason of insanity" defense.

A new ad featuring survivors of the 2011 gun massacre in Tucson are calling out President Obama and Governor Romney for not doing more to prevent gun violence.

Public relations is defined as a strategic tool which dynamically allows a strategic company to turn sleaze into profit. Dynamically. This is PR Dummies. Taking advantage of you, the consumer, every week.

Conspiracy theorists have already speculated that President Obama somehow orchestrated the massacre in Aurora, Colorado, but a political billboard in Idaho aims to link Obama and the shooter thematically.

Aurora shooter James Holmes isn't the first mass murderer with a Facebook fan page, and he won't be the last.

The immediate aftermath of any American tragedy offers a heady potential for vile ideas. Details are scant, speculation is still wide open, motive is easily assigned—and in the rush to scoop other outlets, journalists don't have as much time to investigate claims, arguments or citations.

Given that James Holmes is responsible for a massacre, calling his behavior "erratic" feels like an awful understatement.

The Dark Knight Rises star Christian Bale popped by the Medical Center of Aurora on Tuesday afternoon, more or less unannounced, to visit with victims of Friday's movie-theater shooting. Above, via TheDenverChannel.com, Bale with Carey Rottman; below, via KUSA, Bale in the hallway.

Salon's Mary Elizabeth Williams is America's least necessary cultural critic. Reading a Mary Elizabeth Williams column on any topic in the news is like sticking a needle full of SUPER SWEET SUGAR WATER in your veins and pushing the plunger until you say "Blaaaauuurrrrgghhhhpablumpablum." Does Mary Elizabeth Williams have something unnecessary—so unnecessary that it would have been a net gain to humanity to say nothing at all—to say on the topic of our recent Very Sad Aurora Movie Theater Shooting Tragedy? Yes of course she does. If you had hoped to avoid it, you lose.

"It's been insane," Rocky Mountain Guns and Ammo employee Jake Meyers told the Denver Post in reference to the marked increase in gun sales across Colorado observed in the wake of Friday's deadly shooting in Aurora.

Here's something that almost all the mass killers of the last fifteen years or so have in common: they've been called "nerds." James Holmes, who allegedly murdered 12 people in a crowded Colorado movie theater on Friday morning, was described as a "nerd" by his uncle within hours of the shooting. Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik is, in the Telegraph, a "puffy-faced computer game nerd." Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were "innocuous nerds," the Los Angeles Times claimed in 1999.
