Movie theater shooting: A retired Tampa police captain fatally shot a man sitting in front of him, after an altercation that began over texting during the previews.
WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — An argument over texting in a Florida movie theater Monday triggered a retired Tampa police captain to fatally shoot a man sitting in front of him, as about 25 horrified moviegoers looked on, sheriff’s officials said.
“Somebody throws popcorn. I’m not sure who threw the popcorn,” said Charles Cummings, who, as a birthday treat, was about to watch the movie ”Lone Survivor” at The Grove 16 Theater.
“And then bang, he was shot.”
