Via CNN:
(CNN)Police in Lafayette, Louisiana, say they responded Thursday night to a report of a shooting at the Grand 16 Theatre.
"We think the shooter is deceased," Police Chief Jim Craft said, according to CNN affiliate KATC. "Right now we're in the middle of sorting this out."
The shooting involved "multiple victims," the police department tweeted. Police said they received the call about 7:30 p.m. CT.
Todd Moffatt, manager of a Mellow Mushroom pizza restaurant in the area, said 20 to 30 emergency vehicles had arrived on the scene. The area was locked down, he said.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal tweeted, "I'm on my way to Lafayette right now. Please say a prayer for the victims at Grand Theatre and their families."
CNN's Tony Marco contributed to this report.
Not much info yet, but at least it looks like it is not an ongoing situation at this time.

Nah, a subway during rush hour would basically cripple a city for days, if not weeks and is a far easier target.
But we don't really have to worry about these things, we have to worry about guns. Prayers don't keep people from getting killed.

I worry more about drunk drivers since they kill as many or more people than are killed in gun related homicides per year. Just this last week there were multiple people killed in a wedding party because of a drunk, but all that was mentioned was a quick blurb and it was gone. Care to bet how long the theatre story will be talked about in front page letters along with multiple commentaries, even though less people were killed than by the drunk?

He has a point. I feel awful for the people who lost their lives when they were just trying to enjoy a movie, but there is a perspective that gets lost in these things. You have to remember that the things that get the most coverage on the news aren't often the things that are actually hurting the most people week in week out.
I mean, you're one of the people who's pretty quick to point out that mass shootings are actually a pretty small thing in the scheme of things.

Louisiana has a very large black population, so it's possible it was racially motivated. We'll know more when they release the identities of who was shot.

2 people dead, plus the shooter. http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/24/us/louisiana-theater-shooting/ Described as a drifter, and had several "costumes" in is hotel room. Maybe he was just fething crazy? The Lafayette, Louisiana, movie theater shooter was 59-year-old John Russel Houser, Lafayette Police Chief Jim Craft said Friday. Craft described Houser as "kind of a drifter" who was from Alabama and had been in Lafayette since early July, staying at a local hotel. Authorities have found various "disguises, basically" at the hotel room where he'd been staying. Houser fired at least 13 rounds, according to the police chief. "It appears he was intent on shooting and escaping," Clark said of the shooter. "The quick law enforcement response pushed him back into the theater." As to his motive, Col. Michael Edmonson of the Louisiana State Police said, "Why did he come here? Why did he do that? We don't know that." Mayci Breaux, 21, died at the scene, and Jillian Johnson, 33, died later at a nearby hospital, according to Craft. "He was a guy that was a drifter ... that just happened to be in this theater and took two beautiful lives," Edmonson said of Houser. "Don't lose sight of the fact that these 2 individuals had a vision, had a name, had a future. It wasn't to die as they did horribly in this theater here." [Original story published at 8:05 a.m. ET] As the previews ended and the lights dimmed for the screening of the comedy "Trainwreck," a man stood up inside a Louisiana movie theater, pulled out a handgun and began firing indiscriminately. The shooter, a 58-year-old man, killed two people and wounded nine others at the Lafayette multiplex Thursday night before he turned his gun on himself and took his own life, police said. The shooting comes within days of the guilty verdict in the Aurora, Colorado, theater massacre. "There's nothing to believe that there was any kind of motive," said Col. Michael Edmonson of the Louisiana State Police. "We want to talk to the (victims') families first and let them know what happened," Edmonson said. "We owe them that respect." The witnesses: 'Gunshots after gunshots' About 100 people had sat down to watch the 7:10 p.m. screening of "Trainwreck" at the Grand Theater 16 in Lafayette, a city of about 120,000 people about 60 miles west of Baton Rouge, when the bullets flew. Jalen Fernell was in a theater next door. "I almost thought it was part of the movie at first," Fernell said of the gunshots. An alarm went off, followed by an overhead intercom message asking patrons to get out. Jordan Broussard first thought a fire had broken out when the alarm went off, lights came on and message rang out overhead. It wasn't until he got outside, heard sirens blaring and saw a woman lying with a gunshot wound to her leg that he realized it was much more than that. The gravity of the situation dawned on him a few minutes later, when he heard an officer say, "'Get to Theater 14, we have some men down at Theater 14, we need an ambulance.'" "That was when we were like, wow, this is crazy," the 19-year-old Lafayette native told CNN's "New Day." "...Coming to a movie on a Thursday night, we never expected that we would see a crime scene and a gunman (in our) theater. It's a very sad night."

Perpetrator was known to authorities, had mental health issues, and disqualified from a concealed carry permit
http://theadvocate.com/news/acadiana/12997489-123/authorities-lafayette-theater-gunman-john
Authorities have uncovered that Lafayette theater shooting John Houser apparently had mental issues and was evicted from his Alabama home in 2013 or 2014.
Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor told The Advocate that his office also denied Houser a pistol permit in 2006.
"It appears he had some mental health issues," Taylor said.
Senior law enforcement officials are also trying to locate Houser's family members.
"He was known to us," Phenix City Police Chief Ray Smith told The Advocate, citing number of civil disputes and "strange behavior."
Houser, the gunman authorities say fatally shot two people and wounded nine others before killing himself Thursday in a Lafayette movie theater, was a 59-year-old drifter living in a motel, where investigators have found wigs and disguises.
Lafayette Police Chief Jim Craft said Friday morning in announcing Houser's identity that authorities still have no motive in the killings. His car, found in the parking lot near a theater exit after the shootings, had a switched license plate.
Craft said Houser clearly intended to escape after opening fire by blending in with the fleeing crowd, but turned back when police arrived and shot himself.
Houser had several addresses across several Southern states, Craft said, including Phenix City, Alabama.

http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/07/24/3684254/report-lousiana-theater-shooters-online-presence-suggested-admiration-white-supremacy/
An investigation by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch found that the man who killed two people and himself in a Louisiana movie theater Thursday night was an active member of online forums that praised white supremacist and anti-gay organizations and espoused right-wing, anti-government conspiracy theories.
The online trail of 59-year-old John Russell Houser, who police publicly identified in a press conference on Friday morning, included comments such as, “Decent people can retake the entire world, as Hitler proved,” and diatribes against “the Black” and “the Jew.” He also expressed admiration for Greece’s neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn as well as the Westboro Baptist Church, which the Southern Poverty Law Center identifies as an anti-gay hate group.
Most tellingly, before committing a so-called “lone wolf” act of violence, Houser wrote extensively about being a “lone wolf”: “I do not want to discourage the last hope for the best, but you must realize the power of the lone wolf, is the power that come forth in ALL situations,” Houser wrote on a forum dedicated to the New York chapter of Golden Dawn. “Look within yourselves.”

Some tales of bravery from the vile attack are starting to emerge
Speaking at the late-night news conference, Jindal told stories of the heroism of those in the theater.
He said one teacher jumped on top of a fellow teacher to protect her from the bullets. Both were wounded, but the second woman said that her friend’s act had probably saved her life.
The second teacher then dragged herself to a fire alarm and pulled it, likely saving still more lives.
“A lot of folks in that situation would just be thinking about themselves,” he said. “She had the presence of mind to think, alright, even though she was shot in the leg, she saved other people.”
Cammie Maturin, the president of the Iberia Association of Educators, knew those women. They were her two friends, Jena Meaux and Ali Martin, who once taught alongside her at Jeanerette High School, in Jeanerette, southeast of Lafayette.
As soon as she heard the governor describe them on television, Maturin shook her head and smiled.
“That’s them, that’s who they are,” she said of the women’s bravery. “They did exactly who they are as people; saving each other, saving a whole lot of other people.”
Maturin described the two women as close friends and beloved teachers. Thursday night, their Facebook pages were brimming with comments and well wishes from their students.
Both women were injured and taken to the hospital but are in good spirits, Maturin said. She and her colleagues have set up a GoFundMe page for their fellow teachers to help raise money for their medical bills.
“There’s not a kid who went to Jeanerette High who wouldn’t say they were touched by one of these ladies,” Maturin said. “And our community has really come together to say, ‘What can we do?'”

More details that the shooter was "volatile", was convicted of arson, had been involuntarily committed, and had a history of domestic abuse
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-33654509
The gunman who killed two people and injured several others at a Louisiana cinema had a history of mental health issues, according to court documents.
John Houser, 59, fired a dozen rounds from a handgun at a film screening in Lafayette before shooting himself.
Documents seen by the AP news agency show his family won a protective order against him in 2008 due to "various acts of violence" towards them.
His wife, who filed for divorce in March, said he had become "volatile".
Hours before the latest US shooting, President Barack Obama told the BBC that gun law reform had been his "greatest frustration".
Lafayette police described Houser as a "drifter" from Alabama who had been staying at nearby motel since the beginning of July. Wigs and other disguises were found inside his room.
Police chief Jim Craft said investigators believe he intended to flee rather than take his own life, but the quick police response forced him back into the building.
His motive is unclear but police said they were looking into online posts appearing to have been made by Houser in which he criticised the government and US media.
He did have a criminal history but it was "pretty old", Mr Craft added. It is unclear how he obtained his the semi-automatic .40-caliber handgun.
On Friday, an Alabama sheriff said Houser was denied a permit to carry a concealed weapon in 2006 because of a domestic violence complaint and a previous arrest for arson in nearby Columbus, Georgia.
Court documents from 2008 say Houser's family petitioned a court to have him involuntarily committed "because he was a danger to himself and others".
The files said Houser's wife, Kellie Maddox Houser, had removed all guns from their marital residence after he "exhibited extreme erratic behaviour" and made "disturbing statements".
The judge issued the order and Houser was taken to a hospital in Columbus, Georgia. It is unclear how long he stayed at the institute.
A former local television host in Georgia says Houser was a regular guest on his show in the 1990s, describing him as an "angry man" who made "wild accusations".
Calvin Floyd, who hosted a show on WLTZ-TV in Columbus, Georgia, said Houser rallied against women in the workplace and advocated violence against people involved in abortions.
"He was very entertaining. He made for good TV and when it was over, you would leave shaking your head," Mr Floyd told NBC News.
What we know about John Russell Houser
The 59-year-old is from Phenix City, Alabama, but police said he was a "drifter"
He was married with at least one child but his wife recently divorced him
Had been arrested and ticketed for past offences, ranging from arson to speeding
Spent some time being treated for mental health issues in 2008/2009
Once ran for office but withdrew after stealing an opponent's yard signs
Went on TV shows as a radical pundit and voiced anti-women feelings
Wrote angry posts on online forums about the government and the media
Witnesses said Houser opened fire on cinema-goers about 20 minutes into advertisements before a screening of Trainwreck at the Grand Theatre.
The victims were identified by police as 21-year-old Mayci Breaux and 31-year-old Jillian Johnson.
Colleagues said Ms Breaux was "an amazing young woman" while Ms Johnson's husband described her as a "once-in-a-lifetime gal".
Nine people were taken to a local hospital with injuries ranging from critical to non-life-threatening. One person remains in critical condition.
About 300 people are thought to have been in the cinema building at the time of the shooting.
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, who arrived at the scene late on Thursday night, praised the "selfless heroism" of two wounded teachers.
He told reporters that the first teacher threw herself in front of the second to shield her from the bullets.
The second, who was shot in the leg, had the presence of mind to pull the fire alarm to warn others of the danger, Mr Jindal said.
Mr Jindal, who is also vying for the Republican presidential nomination, said it was not the right time to discuss gun control and that the focus should remain on the victims.
US comedian and actress Amy Schumer, who stars in Trainwreck, tweeted: "My heart is broken and all my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Louisiana."

Just a nutjob. Would be interesting to know if he got the gun legally or not. Seeing as how he couldn't get a concealed carry permit, I'm guessing it wasn't legally.

I read somewhere that the theater was a no gun zone. I'm curious if that was publicized or not, and if that had anything to do with his decision making process. Obviously we'll never know on the second half of that part, but I still am curious.

Illegally seems the most plausible way. He would not have passed an NICS background check as he was;
- a domestic abuser
- previously involuntarily committed
- a felon on account of his arson charge
- subject to a restraining order
