The so-called "Batman Shooter", James Holmes, has been found guilty of killing 1 12 cinema-goers in the American state of Colorado in 2012. Seventy people were also injured, when the 27-year-old opened fire in a packed cinema showing the Batman film The Dark Knight 2 Rises just outside the city of Denver. David Willis reports from Los Angeles. 

所谓的“蝙蝠侠枪击手”——詹姆斯·霍尔姆斯2012年在美国科罗拉多州杀害了12名电影观众。这位27岁的犯罪嫌疑人在丹佛市郊一间上映蝙蝠侠影片《黑暗崛起》的放映厅里开火，造成另外7人受伤。下面是大卫·威廉斯洛杉矶报道：

"Holmes surrendered to the police in a car park outside the cinema, and whilst his legal team never sought to deny he committed the massacre 3, they argue that he was insane at the time, and should be spared the death penalty. But after hearing nearly three months of evidence, it took the jury less than two days to find James Holmes guilty. That same jury will now have to decide whether he spends the rest of his life in jail or faces the death penalty."

霍尔姆斯在影院外一个停车场里向警方投降，但是他的犯罪团伙否认他的杀人罪行，他们辩解到当时霍尔姆斯精神不正常，不应该判处死刑。但是经过听证会上有关杀人的搜集了三个月的证据以来，审判团不到两天就判处霍尔姆斯的罪行。该审判团将决定判处霍尔姆斯终身监禁还是死刑。

The FBI says it's found nothing tying the gunman who killed four US marines in Tennessee to an international terrorist organisation 4. It said it was still looking for a motive 5. Twenty-four-year-old Kuwaiti-born Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez attacked two naval 6 buildings in Chattanooga on Thursday. He was eventually shot dead by police. Gary O'Donoghue is in Chattanooga. 

FBI声称没有证据表明杀害田纳西州四名美国海军的持枪歹徒与国家恐怖主义组织有任何关联，他们表示正在寻找杀人动机。24岁的Kuwaiti-born Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez周四袭击了位于查塔努加的两个海军基地。最终他被警方开枪打死。下面是盖里在查塔努加为您发回的报道：

"Police's yellow tape seals off the area around the house, in which Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez lived, as investigators 7 attempt to piece together what led to these attacks. Law enforcement officials say there is no indication that others were involved, and no one else has been taken into custody 8. However, FBI investigators will be taking a long look at two blog posts, apparently 9 authored by Abdulazeez on Monday, and there're reports that he may have traveled to the Middle East at some stage."

警方把Kuwaiti-born Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez居住的地方警戒起来，调查人员将要串联起引起这次袭击的证据。法律监管部门官员表示没有迹象表明其他人也卷入此案，也没有人因此被拘留。但是FBI调查员将观察很明显是阿齐兹周一发表的两个微博帖子。有报道称他有可能在某个时间逃到中东地区。

There'll be another memorial service later today in the Netherlands, a country that lost 196 people on board that plane. Two Dutch-led investigations 10 are looking into who and what shot the plane down."

But the most common complaint is continuing isolation 18 and stigmatisation in their communities."
