By Thomas Peipert and Mead Gruver Associated Press AURORA, Colo. — The Colorado shooting suspect planned the rampage that killed 12 midnight movie- goers with “calculation and deliberation,” police said Saturday, receiving deliv- eries for months which authorities believe armed him for battle and were used to rig his apartment with dozens of bombs. Authorities on Saturday were still working to clear dangerous explosive mate- rials from inside James Holmes’ suburban Denver apartment a day after police said he opened fire and set off gas canisters in a sub- urban theater minutes into the premiere of the Bat- man film “The Dark Knight Rises.” The attack left 12 dead and 58 injured. His apartment was rigged with jars of liquids, explosives and chemicals that were booby trapped to kill “whoever entered it,” Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said, noting it would have likely been one of his officers.
