AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Witnesses described the scene as a gunman opened fire early Friday at a suburban Denver movie theater on the opening night of the latest Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises."

Fourteen people were killed and at least 50 others were injured.

Witness Hayden Miller told KUSA-TV that he was inside Theater 16 in Aurora and heard several shots.

He says he heard "like little explosions going on and shortly after that we heard people screaming."

Hayden said at first he thought it was part of a louder movie next door. But then he saw "people hunched over leaving theater."
