Fire officials were hopeful Tuesday that calmer winds would help them bring a wildfire under control that has burned more than 3,000 acres in the mountains southwest of Denver, killing at least one person, destroying a handful of homes and forcing about 900 residents to evacuate. It was not clear what sparked the fire Monday, although officials have said it may be related to a controlled burn. Conditions were prime for the blaze, following an unusually warm, dry March. The fire was not contained early Tuesday, but officials said their "current fire fighting strategy has changed from point protection to active fire suppression," according to the latest statement from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

At least three people have been arrested around the country in incidents connected to screenings of “The Dark Knight Rises,” authorities say. The arrests come amid fears of possible copycat attacks in the wake of Friday's shooting rampage at a midnight screening of the film in Aurora, Colo. Twelve people were killed and 58 were injured in that attack, and law enforcement agencies in numerous states have since stepped up security at theaters showing the latest Batman film. In California, a 52-year-old man was arrested Sunday evening after he allegedly shouted threats about a gun and Colorado at a Norwalk theater showing of the “The Dark Knight Rises,” authorities said.  Clark Tabor is accused of grabbing his cellphone inside the theater and shouting: "I should go off like in Colorado" and "Does anyone have a gun?"
