Colorado movie shooting suspect charged with murder
The man accused of spraying bullets in a crowded Colorado movie theater, leaving 12 dead and 58 wounded, is scheduled to attend a court hearing Thursday as prosecutors seek additional charges.
Authorities charged James Holmes with murder and attempted murder.
He also faces weapons
charges in the July 20 shooting during the midnight premiere of the
latest Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises," in Aurora.
At Thursday's hearing,
lawyers are expected to discuss a new prosecution request to add 10
charges to the more than 140 he already faces, according to a state
court official.
