City Marshal Brian Pope has confirmed for The Daily Advertiser that six people were injured in a shooting Thursday night at the Grand Theatre.

The shooter then turned the gun on himself, Pope said, and is dead.

Katie Domingue of Carencro was at the 7 p.m. showing of "Train Wreck" with her fiance', Joshua Doggett. About 20 minutes into the movie, Domingue said, she heard a loud noise.

"We heard a loud pop we thought was a firecracker," she said.

She saw "an older white man" standing up and shooting down, not in her direction.

"He wasn't saying anything. I didn't hear anybody screaming either," Domingue said.

She heard about six shots, then she and Doggett ran to the nearest exit, leaving behind her shoes and purse.

You are about to piss some people off. They will have tons of data that is flimsy at best, but refuse to use common sense when presenting their argument.

I carry every day because I know that getting rid of guns will never happen.

Too many assholes that don't have the right to carry are carrying illegally to do me and innocent people harm.

If I'm going to die, I'm going down with at least a fight if that type of situation presents itself.

But like I said, there is literally no way to end gun violence ANYWHERE without the total removal of guns.

If guns are accessible by law-abiding citizens like myself then they are accessible by those who intend to commit crimes with them.

With the good comes the bad.

Hopefully I'm prepared enough for the bad.

Pretty shitty to try to be clever about this situation on a board that has people that could be victims or related to victims.




the cheap arse, dime store stand up comedians on this board have almost become overbearing .. everyone's looking for that emoji-soliciting one-liner ..

Guns have been around in the USA for our whole history. Why just in the past 6 have the numbers risen? It's obviously not just related to guns and is something else.

Why not focus on the issue instead of attack guns?

I agree 100%. I presented this argument several weeks ago and was told I was trying to ban guns and that law abiding citizens played no role in illegal guns getting on the streets.


btw, did the chick in the article run through a movie theatre without shoes on? Holy crap.

A big part of it is overmedication and improper diagnoses of mental illness. A doctor would rather prescribe you some Adderall so the sales rep will keep sending him to Hawaii instead of helping you get the help you may truly need.

Did Australia already have 300+ million guns in their country or do they have a boarder that is a leaking sieve where illegal things comes across it every day?

Won't work in America

Scruffy debunked this years ago on the PT Board using FBI statistics. We live in a time that is the most peaceful in probably 50+ years. You just believe this is the case since news is more readily accessible.
