Four dead in Colorado after hostage siege

Four people, including an armed suspect, died during an hours-long police stand-off at a Colorado house.

The shootings occurred about four miles south-east of the Aurora Mall, where 12 people were killed and dozens wounded by a gunman at a midnight showing of the Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, on July 20. The man charged in that shooting, James Holmes, goes to court tomorrow for a preliminary hearing in which prosecutors will lay out their case against him.
