A gunman opened fire in a Lafayette, La., movie theater Thursday evening during a showing of Trainwreck, killing two and injuring nine, before turning the gun on himself, according to multiple news reports. Police say they know the identity of the shooter — described as a white, 58-year-old male — but are not yet releasing his name.
From The Guardian:
Police chief Craft said that the suspect had some criminal history, but that it was “old”. No “manifesto” had been found that might explain his motive, police said.
Investigators have offered no immediate motive and the gunman’s body remained inside the theater several hours later. None of the victims were immediately identified by authorities.
