New photos have emerged that were taken at
the chaotic aftermath of the Colorado shooting.
The pictures are of the cinemas auditorium
where the gunmen James Holmes killed 12 people
who were watching a midnight premiere of Batman.
More than 70 others were injured.
Persecutors released the images in response
to open record requests.
They show the elaborate homemade explosives
in Holmes apartment. Which he had rigged into
a potentially deadly booby trap.
Holmes moved from California to Colorado in
2011 and started up his neuroscience course
at the university of Colorado in November.
But he dropped out after a year. By that time,
he was well into planning the attack and stock
pilling ammunition.
He had three guns he used with intent to kill
on the 20th July 2012. He dressed head to
toe in body armour before slipping into the
packed cinema.
More than three years after the attack, Holmes
was sentenced to life in prison without parole
in August.
