Shooting at a movie theatre. 60 year old white male stood up 20 minutes into a movie and shot (not confirmed). Two people confirmed dead, including shooter. Six injured. Tragic...
Keep the families in your prayers please.

Sadly, this type thing is becoming a norm rather than an exception.

Unconfirmed from police, but what I've been hearing.

So much of these crazy people shooting up places have been in the news lately. I have had a firearms license for over a decade mostly to make it easier to collect rifles and shotguns but I admit I recently purchased a Glock 42 and started carrying concealed. with all the craziness in the world today it just seemed that if I want to protect myself I have to do it myself.

RE: Hey Lafayette
Friend from Lafayette just posted a picture of two of the victims. He was wearing a Ragin' Cajun hat. I really hate to see this. Cajun nation will be in our thoughts.

RE: Hey Lafayette
The excerpt from local news:
The shooter in Thursday night's shooting at the Grand 16 Lafayette movie theater has been identified as John Russel Houser, 59, of Alabama, according to Lafayette Police Chief Jim Craft.
Craft also identified the deceased victims as Mayci Breaux and Jillian Johnson. Breaux died on the scene and Johnson died at the hospital. Breaux, 21, was from Franklin. Johnson, 33, was from Lafayette.
One victim was still listed in critical condition Friday morning, Craft said. Two victims have been released from the hospital.
Craft described Houser as a "drifter" from Phenix City, Alabama. He had been estranged from his family, he said. Police are still searching for a motive. During a search of Houser's room in Motel 6 on University Avenue, police found wigs and other items that could be used as disguises, Craft said. His car was parked near a theater exit and police believe his intent was to escape after the shooting. Craft said he spotted police approaching him in the theater and decided to take his own life.
