The victim and a woman who was also shot were sitting in a row in front of another couple.
"There was an altercation
because the victim was using his cell phone. He was texting. He was
making a lot of noise," Nocco said. "This led to a verbal altercation,
the verbal altercation escalated."
The suspect pulled out a
handgun and shot the man and the woman, who has non-life threatening
injuries, with him. The sheriff said it was unclear if the shooter meant
to hit the woman.
"There was no indication
that they knew each other," he said of the two couples. He said the
shooting occurred during the previews to a movie.
A release from the sheriff's department said the suspected shooter was at the movie with his wife.
A bystander detained the suspect until deputies arrived, the statement said.
The shooting happened at
about 1:30 p.m. inside one of the theaters at the Grove 16 complex,
sheriff's spokeswoman Melanie Snow said.
