Police Chief Jim Kraft said it is believed the gunman was sitting by himself, and that the first people he shot were sitting directly in front of him. Eye witnesses told police he stood up early during the showing of the movie Trainwreck" and began shooting.
The shootout is coming almost three years to the day after a massacre at a cinema in Aurora, Colorado, that killed 12 people.
The police are yet to release the identity of the shooter. They offered no immediate motive and did not disclose any clues they might have found.
US and guns!!!
