Texting Triggers Fatal Movie Theater Shooting

Jan. 13, 2014







An argument between two couples over text messaging inside of a Florida

movie theater turned deadly today that left one man dead and a woman

wounded.



Police said that two couples began arguing before a showing of "Lone

Survivor" over one couple's text messaging.



A male suspect, whose identity has not yet been released, became angry

and took out a gun and shot the other couple, according to the Pasco

County Sheriff's office.



"The victim was on his cellphone, he was texting. We believe he was

making some kind of noise. This noise led to an altercation," Sheriff

Chris Nocco said, according to ABC News affiliate WFTS. "During that

altercation, the suspect decided to pull out a .380 and he shoots the

victim."



The sheriff's office said in a statement that an unnamed "good

Samaritan" helped detain the suspect until police arrived.



The two victims were airlifted to Tampa General Hospital, where the man

was pronounced dead and the woman is being treated for non-life

threatening injuries, according to police.



The shooting occurred around 1:30 p.m. today at the Cobb Grove 16

Theater in Wesley Chapel, Fla., north of Tampa.



Police noted that the shooter and victims did not appear to know one

another.

The shooting suspect is in police custody.





Well, that didn't take long. So much for the new, improved rec.boats.





All my restraint didn't help a bit, did it?

Do we have to give him yet another chance?





Perhaps you should take charge and publish a list of what topics are

allowed here and what topics are not. I thought there was general

agreement to avoid personal name-calling here, and to avoid initiating

partisan political discussions. The post I put up is neither personal

nor partisan political.



It's fine with me if you want this newsgroup to avoid discussions about

firearms and other apparently volatile subjects.



List away.

The title of your post, "Obviously, he was standing his ground.", is the politically inflamatory part. Do you really not understand that?

Of course you do, or you wouldn't have written it.

I take this as confirmation that Republicans are responsible for Stand
Your Ground.

Cool. I was hoping some fool would step up and take responsibility.

Did you see this?

"According to multiple reports, the shooting occurred after an
apparent argument over an audience member texting during a screening
of "Lone Survivor."

The suspect was identified as Curtis Reeves, a retired Tampa police
officer, according to News 13. He has been charged with second-degree
murder."

The pohlice. Floriduh. Yup.


I wonder if the lawyer Reeves hires will claim that the guy who was shot
dead verbally threatened the ex-cop, and that the shooting was therefore
justified.
