This intentional shooting by a retired law enforcement officer is just one more reason not to carry concealed pistols when just going out for an evening of entertainment. Wesley Chapel is not a high crime area and there was no need to carry a pistol into a theater.

The theatre chain where this occured does not allow guns and has signs posted "no guns allowed". At some point, the alleged shooter left the theatre and returned with a gun. This sounds like pre-meditated murder.
The shooter has been charged with second-degree murder. There was no physical altercation between the two men. They were two rows apart, according to news reports. At age 71, whatever sentence he receives will probably be a life sentence.
