Police: One Dead After Fight Over Texting- Jordan Willis

It started with a father texting his daughter in a movie theater and a 71 year old retired police, Curtis Reeves, sitting behind him asked him to turn his phone off. When he refused they began to argue and the man texting watch as the other man walked out of the movie theater seeking an employee to complain. the man came back irritated and with no employee. the began to argue again, voices were raised, popcorn was thrown, then out of nowhere there was a gun shot. Chad Oulson, the texter, had been shot and fatally wounded. his wife who was sitting next to him was also hit, trying to protect her husband from the shot. The shooter just sat down and placed the gun in his lap. While his wife suffered a non-life threatening wound to the hand, Oulson later died after paramedics arrived. "I can't believe people would bring a pistol to a movie," said Cummings, a witness at the scene ans veteran who had been celebrating his birthday with his son at the movies. Reeves was arrested on second degree homicide. Neighbors of the Oulson's say he was a kind and always smiling mad whom you'd never see angry. On the theatres website is a list of prohibited items and actions. Among them: no cell phone use, including texting, in the theater auditorium. and no weapons allowed.

  1. And a former policeman! You would think people would have the patience to just let the man finish his text instead of pulling a gun out and shooting him on the spot.
