WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Department of Defense said three members of the U.S. Armed Forces were wounded in a movie theater shooting in Colorado and one was still unaccounted for.

The agency said a Navy sailor was injured and a male sailor who was at the theater early Friday morning cannot be located. The sailors were part of a Navy Cyber Command unit at nearby Buckley Air Force base.

Two Air Force airmen based at Buckley were also wounded, but their specific unit hasn't been released.

Both branches of the military were working with the families of the service members to make sure they are cared for.

The Defense Department also said the suspect, James Holmes, was not a past or current member of any branch or component of the Armed Forces.
