Bizarre ass story. 6 tickets sold for the showing, when the showing finished the cleanup crew went in and found the two victims. Other than that, no known witnesses or suspects.

Wtf

Aren't most tickets bought online these days? I mean it's possible they walked up and paid with cash, but these days I'm willing to bet the order was made online or with a credit card. Should be easy enough to check the cards of the six transactions made to that specific showing to narrow down the search

That's useful if this was a random event, but if it was a planned attack, I'd bet on cash.

Great! As if covid wasn't enough trouble for these places, now we gotta worry about theatre shootings again.

Not to make light of it but I didn't know they were making another Purge movie.. I thought Election Year was a good way to end the series

No, but I can sneak in my own candy, possibly even an entire meal, and nobody pitches a fit.

I have never ever bought a movie ticket online, who really does that?

And it allows you to reserve your seats ahead of time so you can get good seats.

let's be honest, sneaking stuff in these days is a joke. nobody cares as long as you aren't being blatant about it

i guess that's a possibility, but idk why they wouldn't, forgive my brass, gone into a more populated screening if a mass shooting was the goal

Didnt read the article, but was mass shooting the goal? 6 people in the screening and 2 dead right? If it was a mass shooting more would be dead right?

Depends on the theater, here in atlanta there are still plenty of the older style ones. Some renovated or built new theaters with bigger plush seats, more room, etc, and they allow you to reserve and pick.

They've arrested a suspext but no word on motive or witnesses

Here in CT the theaters with the nice seats have reserved seating. You can pick your seats online or when you get to the theater.

Used to be you had to pick ahead online or youd be stuck up front. Havent been to the theater since the start of covid so I dont know how things are now.
