"With one shot, an off-duty sheriff?s deputy took down a gunman who attempted to opened fire at a crowded movie theater lobby during a late night showing of ?The Hobbit? in San Antonio, WOAI reports.

Police say a gunman, identified as Jesus Manuel Garcia, chased patrons from the nearby China Garden Restaurant into the lobby of the Santikos Mayan 14 movie theater at around 9 p.m. on Sunday. Garcia, an employee of the restaurant, reportedly walked in the establishment looking for a woman.

When the woman, also reportedly a restaurant employee, wasn?t there, Garcia pulled out a gun and attempted to open fire in the restaurant but his weapon jammed.

?It started at the restaurant and then went into the parking lot and then into the movie theater,? Deputy Lou Antu told 1200 WOAI news.

The commotion sent horrified restaurant patrons into the movie theater lobby, but the gunman followed. He again attempted to open fire, and this time his gun didn?t jam. Garcia reportedly shot one man in the chest before Antu says an off-duty sheriff?s deputy working security the theater shot him once, dropping him to the floor."




.
How did he get the gun in the first place? If his gun didn't jam then there would have been another mass shooting. Furthermore, it wasn't an average Joe who took the guy down but rather an off-duty officer.. If anything this posting is yet another example why guns should be banned.
