Local News Update: The shooter is a retired Tampa cop, Curtis Reeves. Asked the guy texting (Chad Oulson) to stop. Oulson didn't stop. Reeves left his seat to get theater staff to resolve the rude patron. Upon returning, Oulson with the cell phone was giving Reeves a lot of lip about tattling on him to theater management.

An altercation (at minimum popcorn) ensued, and Reeves fired his weapon once (per Pasco Co. sheriff). The single shot injured Oulsen's wife in the hand, and penetrated Oulson's chest, killing him in short duration. An off duty Sumter sheriff's deputy detained Reeves until local LEO arrived.

So just following standard police training, I guess.

(Sad to say, I'm not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not.)
