Police say they'll work to figure out what brought a man to a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, Thursday evening. There he opened fire, killing two people and wounding seven others before killing himself.



Police are not releasing the identity of the suspected shooter, only to say he was a 58-year-old white man. Police say before the gunman started shooting, he had been sitting in the packed movie theater, where the comedy ``Trainwreck'' was playing.



Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is praising two teachers as heroes for their actions in a Lafayette movie theater where a gunman opened fire. Jindal says one teacher jumped in front of the other, saving her life. The second teacher, although shot in the leg, then managed to pull a fire alarm.
