Salina police investigate accidental shooting in theater

(10-17-15)  A Salina man is taken to the hospital after shooting himself in the leg.

It happened inside a movie theatre at Central Mall during a showing Friday night.

Police say the shooting was accidental.   Witnesses it happened 45 minutes into the movie.

"At first what popped into my mind was that someone popped a bag of candy or something and goofing off or something," said Heather Myers, who was inside the theatre when the shooting happened.

Then seconds later, a man sitting three rows behind Heather and her husband Domenic, yells out for help.

"This guy started shouting 'Oh my God, I just shot myself! I just got my concealed and carry,' and then everybody jumped up and that's when we heard call 9-11.

According to Salina police, the man accidentally shot himself once in the leg.

"You could feel the concussion of the shot," Domenic said. "I mean you know being in a movie theatre it's a surreal situation, and I don't believe anybody really expects it to be a gunshot."

"As soon as it registered and I realized it was a gun, it scared me," Heather said.

The couple said they support the state's current law which went into effect July 1, allowing gun owners to conceal and carry without requiring any training or having a permit.

"I believe in protecting yourself, but it is scary knowing they're in public places," Heather said. "I feel absolutely terrible for the gentleman that shot himself, but the first thing I thought of was thank God he didn't shoot anybody else."

We went to the theatre where this happened, and while the theatre itself didn't have signs posted, the mall where it's located had signs on the doors prohibiting guns from being taken inside.

Police said no evacuation was ordered because they treated the situation as a medical emergency.

No one else at the theatre was hurt.
