STORIES OF PURE HEROISM AS A HEAVILY ARMED MAN ENTERS A MOVIE THEATER IN AURORA, COLORADO.

"I think john just took a bullet for me, i was thinking about what a great hero he is, he provided me the opportunity to survive he just knew you know."

PEOPLE USE THEIR BODIES TO SHEILD OTHERS FROM A HAIL OF GUNFIRE.

POLICE SAY JAMES HOLMES HAD STOCKPILED THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION.

HE ENTERED THE MOVIE THEATER WITH A RIFLE, A SHOTGUN, AND TWO HANDGUNS.

AND TONIGHT, THE FULLL LIST OF VICTIMS IS RELEASED, INCLUDING A YOUNG SPORTS REPORTER, AN ENLISTED SAILOR, AND A YOUNG HUSBAND.

They had police there within a couple minutes. They had ambulances arriving there within two and a half minutes with 70 injured individuals, including the fatalities. Being able to get them so incredibly rapidly so that they were under doctor's care is a little short of a miracle.

AND WE'RE LEARNING TONIGHT -- PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL BE IN COLORADO TOMORROW.

FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

FORECAST OPEN

FORECAST-WXWALL

THUNDERSTORMS FOR SUNDAY

Very potent storms came through southwest Florida on Saturday.

There were wind gusts over 60 MPH, and First Alert Radar picked up on more than 1,200 lightning strikes for a moment!

These storms will wither away come midnight, but storms will come back into play tomorrow. The atmosphere is really ripe with moisture due to an area of high pressure to our east. That is forcing ample amounts of moisture into the area tied to a tropical disturbance. When you add in sunshine to destablize the air. Presto you get storms.

Numerous storms will be expected, and they'll cover more area than Saturday. Some will get severe, again, so we will watch that and keep you up to date.

Temperatures for Sunday will be slightly cooler than the past several days. Upper 80s to low 90s will be the rule.

Monday will be another wet day, and eventually dry out and see more Sunshine toward the end of the week. You know what that means though, the heat comes back!

Your boating forecast calls for a moderate chop with the inland waterways and seas 2 to 4 feet. You'll encounte scattered thunderstorms and winds from the east at 10 to 15 knots.
