Fox News alert for you now for those just joining us let's get you up to speed on the latest breaking developments in this tragedy out of Aurora Colorado.

-- just wrapped up a news conference following the horrific.

Shooting of dozens of innocent moviegoers at that packed premiere of the latest bat man film last night.

At least twelve people will twelve people at the moment are dead but more than three dozen others were injured.

Listen to the police chief from -- he just gave his heart wrenching description of the events inside that theater.

Our best available counts on injuries as of right now.

Is that 71 people.

Where shots.

And that twelve are deceased.

Two died at area hospitals.

And ten.

Are deceased.

In the crime scene at this time and we are making best efforts to to identify and remove those ten.

-- while the investigation continues with federal state and local officials there is an explosive situation still unfolding.

At the suspect's apartment a bomb robot is being sent into the suspect's apartment.

After investigators -- in the window and they spotted trip wired booby traps.

And large bottles filled with an unidentified liquid Fox's Chris Gallagher is tracking the latest from our breaking news -- in Los Angeles what -- do we know about -- -- They're actually called bottles Alison these Coke bottles are filled with some unknown liquid and they're kind of strung up around the door as if you would see in a movie kind of like trip wires.

And apparently the way that that police and fire department.

Authorities have described this to us.

Is if you pushed in the front door that would be kind of the trigger to set up these explosives -- which is why you can see the firefighters are actually doing all their work.

From the other side of the apartment so they can get a direct view.

Of that contraption the front door they call it very sophisticated.

The first point of business is to go in there with a small robot and either take a sample of this liquid to find out what it is is -- gasoline is at some type of chemical.

Or to see if they can detonate this but in case something goes wrong which you can't see offscreen.

Is the fact they've got firefighters with hoses at the ready in case this blows up there are no people inside this apartment.

They evacuated the entire thing early this morning and those people could be out for the foreseeable future because the police and firefighters said.

This could take some days to resolve.

We have also learned that he just rented this apartment we're talking about the shooting suspect James Holmes and on his rental -- -- application.

He wrote that he was quoting here.

Quiet and easy going.

And this morning shortly after police arrived on scene one of the neighbors said that.

While this shooter was apparently at the theater.

There was music in his apartment that was playing over and over again it appeared to be the same song playing on re -- We have also learned from the University of Colorado that he recently dropped out of the medical school there again he was studying.

Neuroscience.

To get his Ph.D.

in neuroscience he got his undergrad degree in neuroscience neighbors and San Diego where he grew up.

Said that he always seemed like a nice -- don't they always out.

-- they we often hear that of those new details.

About the application and the music playing -- obviously chilling Trace thank you for that so again.
