Potential Theater Shooting Massacre averted in Texas
Off Duty cop put an end to it quick....
Two people were wounded late Sunday when gunfire erupted at a local movie theater, sending panicked moviegoers rushing to exits and ducking for cover, police and witnesses said. A lone suspect was in custody after being wounded by an unidentified law enforcement officer, a Bexar County Sheriff's Office spokesman said. Conditions of the two people wounded were not immediately released, nor was it disclosed where they were when they were wounded, or the type of gun that was used. Witnesses said numerous shots were fired inside and outside the Santikos Mayan Palace 14 theater complex on Southwest Military Drive around 9:25 p.m., setting off the scramble to safety before police and EMS arrived. The complex was evacuated and sealed off for several hours. Detective Louis Antu, spokesman for the Bexar County Sherriff's Office, said the shooting began at a nearby China Garden and “carried on into the theater.” At one point, the suspect fired at a San Antonio Police Department patrol car, Antu said. “He was shooting at a marked unit,” Antu said. “He knows he was shooting at an officer so that's (an) automatic (charge of) attempted capital murder.” After the suspect reached the theater, an off duty Bexar County Sherriff officer who was working at the theater shot at him and possibly struck him, Antu said. “She took all appropriate action to keep everyone safe in the movie theater,” Antu said. Tara Grace, who was getting a drink from the concession stand when the shooting began, ran into the bathroom and locked herself in a stall with five other patrons to avoid the mayhem. “We thought we were going to die,” she said. A person at the scene, an employee from a different location of the restaurant, said the gunman initially may have targeted a coworker before making his way to the theater, though Antu could not confirm a motive immediately. The shooting immediately sparked fears of a mass slaying like the one in July that killed 12 people and injured 58 at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. Cassandra Castillo, waited anxiously outside the theater for her son, a projectionist at the theater. “It brings back memories of the other theater shooting, and the elementary school shooting,” she said. “You only think the worst.” Read more: http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/loc...#ixzz2FJf2MhMH |

I am seriously for the first time in my life considering purchasing a firearm, and obtaining a concealed carry permit. I have always found these incidents to be isolated, and a nonthreat in the grand scheme of things. I find myself changing my mind about that last statement. What is this? Half a dozen incidents this weekend alone? People are losing their ****ing minds!

When I lived in Houston I ALWAYS concealed. When I would get up in the morning you would see the news, 10 murders, 10 home invasions, and 10 dipshits who got shot by an armed citizen who they where trying to rob/kidnap etc.
My point is, this asshole was stopped by a good person with a gun. Just like 99% of gun owners out there. |

Unarmed women and children huddle helplessly as gunman kills dozens in elementary school.
Armed bystander thwarts potential mass murder at movie theater. Hmmm.

It was a fluke. Had the proper authorities been able to put the bad guy in time out, it would have ended better and a lesson would have been learned.
