SOUNDBITE (English) Jim Craft, Lafayette Chief of Police: “We know that when he stood up and started firing, people started rushing out. We know he was trying to leave and then we think that he may have scene our police officers making entry.

Various of activity outside the movie theater STORYLINE: A lone gunman sitting in a packed movie theater stood up about 20 minutes into the showing of “Trainwreck” and began firing into the crowd, killing two and injuring at least seven others Thursday night before fatally shooting himself, authorities said. The gunman initially tried escaping by blending into the fleeing crowd, but then turned back when he saw police heading inside from the parking lot, authorities said. Officers tailing him back into the theater then heard a single gunshot and found him dead inside, police said. They described the shooter as a 58-year-old “lone white male” with a “criminal history” but did not immediately disclose his name. Lafayette Police Chief Jim Craft said the gunman was by himself and started the rampage by shooting the two people sitting in front of him. Stories of heroism immediately began to emerge with presidential hopeful Gov. Bobby Jindal, who traveled to the scene within hours of the shooting, telling reporters that a teacher who was in the theater jumped in front of a second teacher, saving her life. The second teacher then managed to pull a fire alarm to alert other moviegoers, he said. “Her friend literally jumped over her and, by her account, actually saved her life,” Jindal said. The shooting took place a week after the man who shot and killed 12 people at a theater in Aurora, Colo., was convicted and on the very day a jury said his attack was cruel enough to consider sentencing him to death. Seven people ranging in age from their late teens to their late 60s were injured, Craft said. Craft said at a news conference that police know who the gunman is, and that he had a “criminal history,” but they are not immediately releasing his name. State police superintendent Col. Michael D. Edmonson said the body of the shooter and “at least one other person” were still inside the theater. He said there were about 100 people inside the theater at the time of the shooting. Edmonson added that police believe the gunman fired shots only at the theater and had not waged an attack anywhere else beforehand. However, authorities said they were not releasing his name immediately in part so police could safely track down and interview friends or family who knew the shooter. He said police saw something suspicious inside the shooter’s car and that a bomb-sniffing dog “hit on three different locations” in the vehicle, “so out of an abundance of caution we brought in the bomb squad.” Jindal called the shooting “an awful night for Louisiana.” “What we can do now is we can pray,” Jindal said. “We can hug these families. We can shower them with love, thoughts and prayers.” Lafayette is about 60 miles west of the state capital of Baton Rouge. Outside the movie theater complex hours after the shooting, a couple of dozen police cars were still at the scene, which authorities had cordoned off with police tape as onlookers took photos with their cellphones. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
