Two women died and at least 10 others were injured during the screening of the comedy, Trainwreck at The Grand 16 Cinema, last night in Lafayette, Louisiana.  Police have identified the shooter in Thursday night’s attack inside a Louisiana movie theater as 58-year-old John Russel Houser. Witnesses said Houser was sitting alone before he stood up and began firing at the two people sitting in front of him about 20 minutes into the movie. Authorities say about 100 patrons were in the theater, and that the victims vary in age from teens to the sixties.
