UPDATE: 3:15 PM EST
According to Fox Tampa Bay, one of the victims shot in Monday’s theater shooting has died.
The victim was reportedly making noise during a showing of Lone Survivor. Police say the suspect, angry, pulled out a gun and started to shoot.
According to Sheriff Chris Nocco, an as-yet-unidentified man and his wife were among those watching a matinee of ‘Lone Survivor’ when the couple got into an argument with the couple sitting in front of them. The dispute was apparently over noise and texting.
An “altercation” took place, the sheriff said, and the man pulled out a gun and shot both the other man and his significant other.
More details to come.
