Go for the high ground, the balcony (assuming there are any theaters that have them anymore).
FIFY
Suicide by cop.
Wtf! Pretty soon you'll have to go through metal detectors when going to see a movie! This kind of crap is exactly why I don't go unarmed to the movies!
It was a shooting, he was a gunman, this is repeated constantly in the headlines and body of the stories. Except that he wasn't... even when they also say in the same story that he was the only one shot they still refer to him as "the shooter" and/or "the gunman". He didn't really have a real gun, it sounds like, and he didn't actually shoot anyone (except maybe with pellets and that isn't even clear). How do they get away with so much inaccuracy and obviously towards an agenda. I understand its a confusing thing and information came in slowly, but UPDATE the story and correct the misleading headlines as information comes in!! These headlines just serve as more anti fodder even if later shown to be inaccurate.
Appears so.
The news is still headlining it as another theater shooting.

No gun, was pellet gun.
ok...so now lets say this happened in Mass. And a good guy with a gun was in that theater. And the good guy with a gun responded and wasted the perp. In Mass.......would that good guy with a gun get arrested and convicted and sent away?
Of course. I mean for crying out loud the shooter didn't even have a gun. You shot an unarmed boy who was turning his life around!ok...so now lets say this happened in Mass.

"Shootout at local theater ends with one death and one arrest. News at 11"

Exactly - he was armed with a hatchet, pepper spray and PELLET GUN. But let's make sure we keep running the headline - "Theater Shooter" or "Theater Gunman". Movie goers report hearing shots fired - that was when the police were shooting the nut job. Media won't change the headline or tagline - too easy to keep fueling the anti-gun agenda.
Your suppose to make sure that the threat is a real gun before you shoot back.
Sounds good in Hollywood, just like shooting a gun out of an attacker's hand or just shooting them in the leg; not so easy in practice.Your suppose to make sure that the threat is a real gun before you shoot back.

Ignoring the post-incident damage, could you, or anyone, make a split-second decision, that your life (or someone else's) depended upon, that this item was absolutely not a firearm if it were pointed toward you (or someone else)?
I say no way.
Again, this was suicide by cop.

I just heard Showcase Cinemas is banning backpacks and................may go as far as installing metal detectors and searching movie goers.
live report says one man did have a gash...
Bruce Jenner was in the theatre? I didn't see that reported.
