"The Dark Knight" trilogy ends on a tragic note.

12 people were killed at a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" after a masked gunman opened fire on moviegoers in Colorado.

Police said the gunman, from the Denver area, appeared at the front of the theater during the movie and released a gas canister before gunfire erupted.

Roughly fifty people, including children, were wounded in the attack, some of whom were treated for the effects of tear gas.

Police said they took the suspect into custody in the parking lot behind the theater.

Authorities have named the alleged shooter as 24-year-old James Eagan Holmes.

The film's studio, Warner Bros., has since canceled the movie's Paris premiere.

For now, the film's Mexico City premiere on July 23 will go on as scheduled.
