KOB.com - Woman shot during gun scene in movie 'Avatar'
ALBUQUERQUE, NM - CENTURY RIO 24 MOVIE THEATER
This theater is a 'GUN FREE ZONE' and prohibits permit holders from carrying.
Movie-goers watching a gun battle scene during the film "Avatar" were evacuated when real gunfire erupted, injuring one woman and causing a mass evacuation of the Century Rio 24 cinema on Saturday.
Around 9:30 p.m., police swarmed to the area after gun shots were reported, causing the theater, located near I-25 & Jefferson, to evacuate all of its attendees.
John Reynolds, in the movie at the time of the shooting, said he didn't immediately know what had happened. "There were machine guns going off (in the movie)…I thought it was speakers popping. I didn't even know it was gunshots, until they turned on the lights."
Several people in the movie theater reported they thought it was an explosion, which caused a sense of panic among the crowd,
The woman, whose name wasn't released, was treated on scene and released for minor injuries. She is in recovery with no reported complications. A spokesperson for the police department said that the woman was surprised by the injury, and while trying to stand up realized she had been shot in the ankle.
The victim told police she didn't recognize the shooter, but a witness said the perpetrator left a clue. "I saw the gun... It was a revolver," said Ken Reynolds, who noticed the weapon lying in the front row upon evacuation.
Investigators say surveillance video shows two men and one woman immediately running away.
Police detained two men on the scene for questioning, but didn't make any arrests. They also haven't determined whether the shooting was an accident or on purpose.
