Yet again, another man has entered the movie theaters with a loaded hand gun. While watching The Bourne Legacy,
at a Century 14 movie theater in Sparks, Nevada, a 56-year-old man
accidentally shot himself in the buttocks. “The gun he had brought into
the theater discharged,” police dispatch said.
Luckily, no one
else was injured when the went off. The police received calls reporting
that there had been shots fired in the cinema at around 8:40 p.m.
Tuesday night, according to reports.
“Witnesses inside the theater
at the time the shot was fired stated that a (man) was adjusting
himself in his seat when a gun he had on him discharged,” Sparks police
Sgt. Pay Dyer said in statement.
After the shot, the man
immediately got up, apologized to moviegoers next to him, and went to a
Reno hospital, where he received treatment for a wound not considered
life-threatening.
“The (man) was cooperative with police and
admitted that his gun fell out of his pocket and when it hit the floor
it discharged,” Dyer said in the police statement. “There was no panic
in the theater as only five people heard the shot out of the approximate
30 people in attendance.”
The man holds a valid permit to carry and conceal a firearm.
