A woman whose husband was critically wounded in the Batman cinema shooting has given birth to the couple's first child.

Hugo Jackson Medley was born today at the same hospital where his father, 23-year-old Caleb Medley, is in a critical condition.

The hospital said both the baby and the mother, 21-year-old Katie Medley, are doing well.

The couple went to the midnight showing of the new Batman movie as a last date before officially becoming parents.
