Choi!!!A 58-year-old gunman opened fire inside a crowded movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, on Thursday evening, killing two people and injuring seven others before taking his own life, police said.
The gunfire erupted during a crowded 7 p.m. CDT (0000 GMT) showing of the film "Train Wreck" and took place almost three years to the day after a movie theater rampage in Aurora, Colorado, that killed 12 people.
Lafayette Police Chief Jim Craft said two people died in the hail of bullets before the gunman shot himself to death.
He said seven people suffered injuries ranging from non life-threatening to critical. Craft said authorities knew the shooter's identity but were not releasing his name during the early stage of the investigation.
Witness Katie Domingue told the local Advertiser newspaper that the gunman was an older white man who stood up in the theater and began shooting.
He wasn't saying anything. I didn't hear anybody screaming either," Domingue said.
Keifer Sanders told CNN that some 100 people were in the theater when the gunman opened fire.
