Colorado police begin notifying families of shooting victims

Relatives have identified two more victims from the Colorado movie theatre shooting early Friday.

Six-year-old Veronica Moser and 27-year-old Matt McQuinn.

Veronica’s mother, 25-year-old Ashley Moser is in critical condition with a bullet in the throat and in the abdomen, according to a family member.

McQuinn was killed after diving in front of his girlfriend and her older brother to shield them from the gunfire.

Others identified by relatives include 27-year-old John Larimer of Crystal Lake, Illinois, who was stationed with the Navy at Buckley Air Force Base, 23-year-old Micayla Medek, 27-year-old Alex Sullivan, and 24-year-old Jessica Ghawi, who narrowly escaped last month’s deadly shooting at Toronto’s Eaton Centre.

Ghawi’s Toronto-area boyfriend spoke with her just before she went into the theatre for a midnight showing of  ”The Dark Knight Rises.”

Soon after a gunman opened fire.

24-year-old former medical student James Holmes is to appear in court Monday.

Police say they have disarmed a trip wire and an explosive device at the suspect’s booby-trapped Denver-area apartment.

According to police the booby trap was set up to kill whoever opened the door.
