"I am not a 24-year-old gun-slinging killer from Aurora," James P. Holmes wrote on Facebook on Friday morning.

Holmes is a Denver man who shares first and last names with James Eagan Holmes, the suspect in the deadly shooting that took place at a midnight screening of the latest Batman movie just hours before.

As the investigation got under way in the shooting at the "The Dark Knight Rises" premiere, in which 70 members of the estimated 300-seat crowd were killed or injured, those looking for clues to make sense of it all went online for a digital footprint of the suspect -- to no avail. … Read more

Houston melts hearts in the way few cities can. Yes, it takes years. But when it happens, your personal glow lasts a lifetime.

So there is a certain weight upon my soul in telling you that the new Apple Store in Houston's Highland Village suffered some bullet wounds yesterday.

According to KPRC in Houston, a gunman seems to have drifted along the very famous and really quite nice Westheimer Road -- home to such fine restaurants as Indika -- and fired at various cars and business establishments, including Apple's.

Fortunately, this appears to have happened between 4:40 … Read more

I've been playing Zombie Exodus on my iPad the last few days. The survival horror text game is effective because it leaves so much to my imagination, but that means I also get zombie nightmares. Fun.

I may have a way to dissolve my zombie bad dreams by dispatching some zombies in real life, after a fashion. Zombie Industries offers a line of shooting targets, ranging from entertaining (zombie paper targets) to outright horrifying (bleeding Nazi zombie targets).… Read more

In the game you play as Tyler, a former clerk at a grocery store who begins to take sniping jobs for cash. Tyler is a cold-blooded killer who doesn't care who gives him the job or who he's hired to … Read more
