Sad news.
As we previously reported, on Thursday night, a 58-year-old white male opened fire during a screening of Trainwreck in Lafayette, Louisiana — killing two victims and himself, as well as injuring at least seven people.
This incident is mere days after James Holmes was found guilty of murdering 12 people at a screening of The Dark Knight back in Colorado in 2012.
