미국 플로리다의 한 영화관에서 총격으로 남성 한 명이 숨졌다고 AP통신 등 외신이 전했다.
13일(현지시각) 오후 피터 버그 감독의 전쟁 영화 “론 서바이버”가 상영되기 직전 피해 남성은 딸에게 문자메시지를 보내고 있었다. 20년전 경찰에서 은퇴한 용의자 커티스 리브스(71)는 휴대전화를 치워달라고 하다가 말다툼이 벌어졌다. 리브스는 흥분해 남성에게 총을 쐈다.
남성은 총격을 받고 병원으로 옮겨졌으나 치료 중 사망했다. 동행했던 여성도 총상을 입었으나 심각한 상황은 아닌 것으로 알려졌다.
총격이 발생하자 경찰은 관객들을 대피시키고 영화관을 폐쇄한 뒤 직원들에게 붙잡혀 있던 용의자를 체포해 구금했다.
목격자들은 “문자메시지를 보냈다고 총까지 꺼낸 것은 너무했다”고 전했다.

Man shot dead in row over texting in movie theater
A retired police officer in Florida is accused of shooting a man before an afternoon movie started because the man was texting and an argument ensued, according to the AP.
The shooting Monday, during a 1:20 p.m. showing of “Lone Survivor” at a movie theater in Florida, escalated from an objection to cellphone use, to a series of arguments, to the sudden and deadly shootings, according to the report.
Chad Oulson was sending text messages to his daughter during movie previews. Curtis Reeves, a retired police officer, asked Oulson to put his phone away. Then they got into an argument, according to police and witnesses.
Reeves shot at Oulson and his wife. Oulson was fatally wounded. His wife was hit, too, but suffered a non-life threatening wound to her hand.
During a press conference held by WFLA-TV, County Sheriff Chris Nocco said, “Anybody, over a cell phone, over somebody texting, to take their life ... it’s ridiculous.”
