Nashville movie theater shooting suspect pronounced dead

The suspect behind yet another movie theater shooting was declared dead after opening fire on a police officer early Wednesday afternoon in a Nashville, Tenn., suburb.

Officers from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department responded to reports of a man with a gun and a hatchet inside a showing of "Mad Max: Fury Road" at the Carmike Hickory 8 cinemas on Bell Road at 1:15 p.m. in Antioch, authorities said.

Don Aaron, a public information officer, said the gunman shot at a police officer, prompting him to return fire. A SWAT team moved in and exchanged fire. Ultimately, he said, the suspect exited out the back door of the theater, where he was confronted by more police officers who shot and killed him.

"The actions of that first officer who went in the theater to engage this individual may well have saved multiple individuals inside that theater," Aaron said during a press conference.

The suspect, a 51-year-old local man, was wearing a surgical mask and doused two women's faces with pepper spray, authorities said. He was also wearing a backpack that authorities later detonated after they found a suspicious device eventually identified as a fake bomb inside.

Yeah. I bet I haven't been to the movie theater in 15-20 years. Netflix does the job for me. The nut cases are coming out of the woodwork.
 
I watched " The Enemy At The Gates" on a free Netflix down load last night. A good reasonably accurate account of a Russian sniper in WW2 Stalingrad.
 

We watch a lot on Netflix but still go to a cinema about 4-6 times a year. Some films are better on a huge screen.
 
The last movie I saw in a theatre was Titanic. It just got way too pricey. I never went to theatres much, though, except for on Saturdays when I was a kid -- and drive-ins (Hah!) when I was a teenager,, but that wasn't always to see the movie.
 
Netflix is a boon to seniors who no longer have to go to matinees...��
 
... and Fury Road wasn't even that good a movie! :rolleyes:

I haven't been to a theater since I took my oldest son when he was 12 (15 years ago) - too pricey and too crazy now.
 
I love the feeling that we are going on a date when we go to the cinema. Although it's usually in the afternoon and dinner afterwards. Hubby and I love to sit in the front row. I think it's the same price for us whether day or night, but our senior rate is ÂŁ6.75. We have to go into the city to do this as our small local cinema doesn't appeal to us.
 
I enjoy Netflix. We bought a 65 inch UHD about two months ago. I really didn't expect much difference from the regular HD, but there is a definite difference.
 
The real point of the OP I believe is that it's now a concern that if you go to the movies, you will be shot. Thanks NRA... It's not radical Islam that is instilling this fear into Americans..
 
I love Netflix too, but I've always enjoyed a day out to see a new movie in a theater....getting in a crowd, movie, shopping whatever, is a risk that we have to consider now....sad.
