[Updated 7:26 p.m. ET] It is possible authorities may wind up using robots to blow up the booby traps and explosives inside the shooting suspect's apartment because it may too dangerous to send people in to do it, a law enforcement source tells CNN’s Susan Candiotti.:Also at Reuters, "Police to detonate devices in Colorado shooting suspect's home":
A decision isn't expected until tomorrow about entering the apartment, the source said.:
“There’s so much circuitry and collapsing circuits, it’s a difficult process,” the source said.:
Robots were sent in during the day and investigators, including explosives technicians, are going over all the information gathered from those robots.
James Holmes, who was arrested after allegedly opening fire on hundreds of people watching a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises," apparently also set some audio equipment at his apartment on a timer, a second law enforcement source close to the investigation said.
The timer set off some loud music later in the night.
"It was to turn the music on ... it was on a timer. It came on loudly obviously to create a call for noise disturbance. People would make entry and potentially (trigger) those explosive devices," the second source said.
