5 years ago today - Grand Theatre Shooting in Lafayette

The shooting occurred in theater 14 during the 7:10 p.m. screening of Trainwreck, held at the Grand 16 movie theater in Lafayette. John Russell Houser, 59, went to the theater alone, bought a ticket ten minutes late into the movie, and sat for several minutes in the theater's second-to-last row. Including Houser, there were 25 people in the theater and 300 people in the building. Houser was armed with a Hi-Point Model JCP .40-caliber handgun and equipped with two 10-round magazines. Shortly before 7:30 p.m., he stood up, pulled out the handgun from his pants, and started shooting indiscriminately while walking down the steps. Houser fired at least 13 rounds and reloaded once. He killed two people and injured nine others.

I remember the night of that thread. Anyone else feel like it's been longer than five years since that shooting?

If someone would have said, "this shooting happen 10 years ago". I would believe them.

Oddly enough I’m parked right across the street from that theatre as I read this.

Seems like a long time ago. I have cousins who were in later years of high school, lived close by, and we’re old enough to drive. I remember immediately texting them to confirm they weren’t there at that time.

I remember cop cars speeding on Johnston St. from campus heading to the theater. I stopped at Judice Inn to see what was going on, and it looked like the entire Lafayette Police and Sheriff's Department had their cars parked in the Grand parking lot.

Definitely remember that, mainly because I was there the day before it happened seeing Jurassic World. Haven’t been back there since
