Police got a call just after 2 p.m. ET about a person with a weapon at the theater, the Carmike Hickory 8 in the suburb of Antioch, a spokeswoman for Nashville police told NBC News.[/quote]
Sounds like the police killed him inside the theater according to the stream. Sounds like at least one other person wounded by a hatchet. Don't think anyone except suspect is dead.
actually in Antioch
This is a little spooky for me, I actually go to that theater pretty regularly. It's a $2 theater where they show the not-quite-brand-new movies. Just saw Mad Max there last weekend. It's weird that he decided to go to this little theater though, that's never very crowded, and that it was on a Wednesday afternoon when most people are at work. I guess that's all pretty fortunate, but it makes me wonder if he had some kind of motive aside from just killing a bunch of random people.

Most copy-cat killers are just mentally unstable people who see that someone else got famous for doing it, they go: "Yah know, I totally should do that too!" and then they do and the cycle repeats as the media makes a fucking big deal about the guy and nothing is done about the actual issues.

[QUOTE=Leon;48384346]probely a soverrin citezin[/QUOTE] Those loons [I]usually[/I] keep to themselves or just murder "corporate authority figures" like cops and shit when they bump into each other. I can't think of many mass shootings/ attempted mass shootings that were performed explicitly for sovereign beliefs.
it had to be one of those crazy constitutionals man
Surprised to even hear Antioch was a target considering the amount of outstanding gun owning patriots we have in the Nashville area haha. Hell we just hosted an NRA convention early last month I believe.
AP just released that he had a pellet gun. Obviously looking for fame and not for a large number of victims. [url]http://bigstory.ap.org/article/6ee8b64f0cdb46e190beda5511daf30c/official-report-shots-fired-nashville-area-theater[/url]

Idiot, had some Airsoft gun. I used to live in Antioch (Back when that F-14 crashed about a block from where I was living) and been to that theater many times. Father was a Metro Nashville cop for 25 years [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-9KbSwMXQM[/media] Metro Nashville cops don't fuck around. They turned that guy into swiss cheese
