fricking terrible.

58 y/o white male seems to be major diversion from the "typical" mass shooter, particularly with his age. It will be interesting to see what the motive was.

ocial media from Lafayette people that seem to know.


I don't see how it's possible that information of that type could be known a few minutes after the shooting. That means someone would have had to have known who the shooter was, why he was there, and then got out the word.

I'm skeptical of this report from FB.

Seems likely


I say it seems possible but not likely.

I don't know why a guy that's solely after his ex-wife would Follow her to a theater and then shoot random.
I'm trying to reason out this when this douche was unreasonable so I guess everything is possible.

KLFY interviewing adults.




Guy helped woman wounded in the leg. Called her mom to let her know the situation. Mom nought it was a prank call and he hung up. She called back and he confirmed. Said wounded woman handled like a champ. Heard 3-5 more shots outside of theater and cops ran in.

Lafayette has a small town mentality, if the name is going around the LPD, it's going to be heard within minutes.

They are always manning a detail there

Police asking people to take a alternate route to Johnson for work tomorrow.

for people in BR that's like asking people to take an alternate route besides Airline or Perkins.

yeah i'd be curious to know who ID'd the guy and put the domestic spin on it.

ISIS in Lafayette, even though the Chattanooga event happened, Islamic terrorism doesn't seem likely, if it was a younger guy, 20s-mentally ill...at almost 60, domestic spin seems more likely, but right now, just a guess it seems.
