Gunman in La. theater kills 2, wounds 9, takes own life


By Sarah Kaplan and Ashley Cusick July 24

LAFAYETTE, LA. — A gunman opened fire on a movie theater in Lafayette, La. Thursday night, killing at least two people and injuring nine others before killing himself, police said.
Police Chief Jim Craft said at a news conference that police received reports of a shooting at the Grand Theatre 16 around 7:30 p.m. Within a couple minutes of the first gunshots, officers entered the theater to confront the shooter; they found him dead of a self inflicted gunshot wound. Two other people have been confirmed dead.
Police said there were nine other injured victims, with injuries ranging from minor to critical and life-threatening. Eight were brought to the hospital by ambulance, one via a private vehicle. Though some have been released, one injured victim remains in critical condition. Craft said that the youngest of the victims was in his or her late teens, while the oldest was about 60.
The suspect is a 58-year-old white male with a criminal history, Craft said. He seemed to be sitting alone in the theater and fired a semi-automatic handgun. The first two people hit were the audience members sitting right in front of him.

So, Waltard, which candidate do you think this murderer voted for?

Expect that playbook to be dialed up to 11.

Media Party journolists [sic] the world over have just opened to Page 1 of their playbook for such circumstances. Here's the checklist:

• Is the shooter a Muslim? If so, hold off on mentioning his name or religion for the longest amount of time possible.

• If he's white then dig far and wide to find out even the slightest connection to the GOP, the Tea Party, any other conservative connections, Christianity, and the NRA.

• Find out if any of the victims were non-white. If so, then immediately start using phrases like "Hate Crimes", "Racism", and "Black Lives Matter".

• Retrieve the long list of regular guests who will espouse the usual talking points about gun violence in America.

• Being that Louisiana has a Republican governor, Bobby Jindal, find out his stance on gun control and blame him for the entire event. The fact that Jindal is a presidential candidate provides an added bonus to the media as they can now destroy his campaign as well.

• Mock anyone who points out that the Grand Theatre, where this occurred, is a gun-free zone.

After so many false starts, this guy is the closest they've ever gotten to the elusive Tea Party Terrorist. Unless, like all the other white shooters, it turns out he's a Democrat.

This will of course knock plenty of inconvenient stories from the news, such as the Iran deal, the Chattanooga shootings, and Planned Parenthood's woes.

Got to get rid of the gun-free zones, they're just putting a bulls-eye on these places.

Mexico is really the perfect example of gun control gone wrong.

All the criminals have guns, are kidnapping, slaughtering innocent civilians (along with rival drug dealers, which is okay in my book).

Well at least he wasn't dressed up as the joker :lol:

Louisiana Cinema Shooter 'Slow, Methodical'

The man who shot dead two young women in a Louisiana cinema carried out the killings in a "slow and methodical" way, officials have said.
John Russell Houser, 59, took a handgun into a Lafayette theatre before standing up 20 minutes into an evening showing of the film Trainwreck and shooting dead two people seated in front of him.

State governor Bobby Jindal said: "He took his time, methodically choosing his victims", which included 21-year-old Mayci Breaux and 33-year-old Jillian Johnson, who he shot dead. He then turned the gun on himself.

Nine people were taken to hospital with injuries, one of whom remains in intensive care and two have been released from hospital.

Lafayette police chief Jim Craft said Houser's handgun was bought legally in Alabama last year, although police and court records show he had been arrested and ticketed for several other offences in the past, ranging from arson to speeding.

He had also been to the theatre in Lafayette more than once, possibly to see if it was "a soft target", authorities said.
Houser, who had only been in Louisiana for a few weeks, had been staying in a motel room which police found littered with wigs, disguises and an escape plan.

In 2008, his wife Kellie Maddox Houser had been so afraid of his mental state that she hid his guns and his family had him hospitalised.
She obtained a restraining order against him, telling a judge he had manic depression and/or bipolar disorder. She divorced him in March.
Houser also appeared dozens of times on a local television show in Columbus, Georgia, where, according to his journal, he "invited political controversy on every one of (the episodes) and loved every minute of it".

He was a regular guest on other shows, where he called for violent protest against abortion and condemned working women, and he also posted on internet forums praising Adolf Hitler.

He had owned bars in Georgia, including one where he flew a Nazi banner in protest after it was shut down for serving alcohol to children, and he also tried his hand at the real estate business in Alabama.

Two young Louisiana women lost in a random burst of gunfire

LAFAYETTE, La., - Jillian Johnson was a local art workshop and gift store owner who went to movies to see a comedy with her best friend.
Mayci Breaux, who attended the same 7 p.m. show with her boyfriend, was an honor student who aspired to be an X-ray technician.
Twenty minutes into the showing of "Trainwreck" in a Lafayette, Louisiana theater, the two women were gunned down by a stranger with a long history of mental illness.
After killing the pair and wounding nine others, the suspected gunman, John R. Houser, turned his .40 caliber handgun on himself, bringing the latest episode of apparently random gun violence in the United States to a swift, shocking end. Police are still trying to determine the motive behind the rampage.
Johnson, 33, and Breaux, 21, were both creative, ambitious young women who had big plans, their friends and families said on Friday.
Johnson was a newlywed who ran Red Arrow Workshop with her husband in her hometown of Lafayette, roughly 55 miles (90 km) southwest of the state capital Baton Rouge.
"She was a once-in-a-lifetime gal," her husband Jason said in a statement. "She was the love of my life and I will miss her always."
Two dozen floral bouquets lined the sidewalk in front of the now-closed shop in an upscale shopping center in Lafayette.
"We brought fresh flowers from our garden because that's what Jillian would have preferred," said Jan Risher, a friend of the couple, as she laid a bouquet in front of the shop in Johnson's honor.
Risher's daughter, Piper Naudin, 13, burst into tears as she tried to explain her grief over the death of Johnson, who was known around town as a talented musician in addition to a successful business owner.
On the night she was fatally shot, Johnson was with her best friend, who was not named.
Breaux, who sat with her boyfriend in the theater's back row when the gunfire erupted, was studying to be an X-ray technician at Louisiana State University, the school said in a statement.
"We are in shock and mourning over the loss of one of our own," LSU said.
Just days after her death, Breaux was due to start radiology school at Lafayette General Hospital. Earlier this month, she toured the hospital, where several of those wounded in the shooting were treated, hospital president David Callecod told reporters.
Originally from Franklin, about 50 miles southeast of Lafayette, she also worked in a clothing store.
Breaux, a finalist in the 2012 Louisiana Sugar Cane Festival's queen pageant, was engaged to be married to her boyfriend, who was wounded by the gunfire, her mother Dondie Breaux told the Daily News.
"They had so many plans - just to get married, have kids," Breaux told the paper. "I think it would have been soon."

Two young women killed inside Louisiana movie theatre remembered
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAFAYETTE, La. -- One was a talented artist who sang in an all-female band and planted trees to beautify her neighbourhood. Another was studying to be a radiology technician and looking forward to a future with a longtime boyfriend.
Jillian Johnson, 33, and Mayci Breaux, 21, were shot and killed last Thursday while watching a comedy at a movie theatre in the city Lafayette, Louisiana, leaving stunned friends and family questioning how two lives off to such promising starts could end so tragically.
Police say John Russell Houser, 59, stood up about 20 minutes into the movie and began firing before ultimately taking his own life.
Last week's attack was the latest mass shooting in the United States and the second in three years at a movie theatre. The shootings have not led to major changes in gun control laws as many Americans see gun ownership as a fundamental, constitutionally protected right.
Funerals for both women were scheduled for Monday.
Friends of Johnson, like Pudd Sharp, remembered her as a woman of talent and warmth. At an event to remember the victims he pointed out people wearing T-shirts she designed and described her as a funny, talented and welcoming woman. He said she was a "tastemaker," the type of person that if you showed up at a club or restaurant or an event and she was there, you knew you were in the right place.
"She was just a really nice person, just in the horribly wrong place at the wrong time," Sharp said.
Breaux was studying to be a medical radiology technician at Louisiana State University-Eunice and was expected to start next week doing clinical work at a hospital in Lafayette -- the same hospital she was taken to Thursday after she was fatally shot.
In Franklin, an old town in Louisiana's sugar cane country, hundreds of mourners attended visitation services for Breaux Sunday evening.
Anne Oestriecher, a 52-year-old cousin of Breaux said she had been dating her boyfriend for years before the two went to the movie theatre Thursday. Rodriguez was shot in the chest but survived.
"They were planning their life together; they were ready to get out of school and get married and start a family. And she and Matt went to the movies," said Oestriecher who spoke with tears on her face.

Johnson was slain by a gunman who opened fire Thursday, July 23, 2015, in a crowded Louisiana movie theater. Johnson, 33, was remembered as an all-around "creative force" who ran clothing and art boutiques, played in a rootsy rock band, helped organize a music festival, and used her design skills on T-shirts and other crafts.

Yes but you're intelligent. Can't assume everyone else can figure it out on their own.
