Another theatre shooting, this time during “Mad Max: Fury Road”

For the second time in less than two weeks a gunman walked into a movie theatre and opened fire. This time it happened during a showing of “Mad Max: Fury Road. Two women and a man were pepper sprayed and are going to be okay, but the gunman was shot and killed by police.

He was armed with a gun, a hatchet and pepper spray when he opened fire in a movie theatre just outside Nashville, Tennessee.

Police were responding to a nearby traffic stop when witnesses ran to alert them to the situation inside the Carmike Hickory 8 movie theatre.

Police entered the theatre through the projection room and that’s when officers and the gunman, who is being identified as a 51-year-old local man, exchanged gunfire before officers backed away.

A tactical team was sent in shortly after and shot and killed the shooter.

This is starting to sound all too familiar though as movie goers hoping to enjoy a film with friends and family are instead interrupted with gun fire.

Today’s incident comes almost two weeks after a gunman opened fire inside a movie theatre in Lafayette, Louisiana during a screening of the film “Trainwreck.”

The 59-year-old shooter shot and killed two people and wounded nine others before turning the gun on himself.

While the motive is still not known in today’s shooting, reports suggest the shooter in Lafayette choose Amy Schumer’s “Trainwreck” because of his negative views about feminism.

Schumer is best known for her humour on women’s sexuality and gender inequality.

Following the shooting, an emotional schumer spoke a press conference, calling on the government for smarter gun laws.

“Unless something is done and done soon, dangerous people will continue to get their hands on guns. We know what can happen when they do. I was heartbroken when I heard about Columbine, and Sandy Hook and Aurora and so many other names and places that are seared into our memories. And I was heartbroken again when I heard about Lafayette, I still am.”

Meanwhile, jurors in the Aurora, Colorado theatre shooting trial heard emotional testimony from the defense as they move toward sentencing James Holmes. The jury will make its final decision on whether the 27-year-old should die by lethal injection or spend the rest of his life in prison. The same jury last month convicted Holmes of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 2012 attack in a Denver movie theatre.

Again, it’s not clear what the motive is in today’s shooting, but police continue to investigate.
