Man Shoots People In Louisiana Theater

Around 8:00 p.m. this evening, an armed man opened fire in a theater in Lafayette, Louisiana.  There are reports of one victim being killed, and the shooter killing himself.  Six or eight others are reported as injured.  The gunman has been described as an "older white man".

This incident is tragically similar to what happened three years ago in a theater in Colorado.  The man responsible for that shooting spree has recently been convicted.

Read more at KATC, KLFY and The Advertiser.  Since this story has recently broken, its details will probably not be fully known for a while.

UPDATE:  The shooter has been identified as John Russel Houser, 59, of Phenix City, Alabama.  A second victim is reported to have died.
