According to the Associated Press, a gunman shot nine victims at a showing of Trainwreck in Lafayette, Louisiana Thursday night, killing two, before fatally shooting himself.
“We heard a loud pop we thought was a firecracker,” witness Katie Domingue told The Daily Advertiser, saying she then saw “an older white man” standing up in the theater and firing a gun.
“He wasn’t saying anything,” said Domingue. “I didn’t hear anybody screaming either.”
