LAFAYETTE, La. - A gunman opened fire at a movie theater in Louisiana on Thursday night, killing at least three people and injuring at least six others before shooting himself, officials said.
The shooting took place at the Grand Theatre in the city of Lafayette, said Clay Henry, vice president of operations for Acadian Ambulance.
Henry said eight people were brought to the hospital and that two, including the gunman, were pronounced dead on arrival.
Henry said emergency workers got the call to go to the theater about 7:30 p.m.
He did not immediately have any additional information. Lafayette police say they know the identity of the gunman but are not releasing it at this point.
Police say the 58-year-old white man died of a self-inflicted gunshot.
They also said they closed other theaters in the area out of precaution.
The shooting happened about 20 minutes into a 7 p.m. showing of the movie "Train Wreck," according to the newspaper.
