TRAGEDY AT THE THEATER

Man Allegedly Kills Fellow Moviegoer After Argument Over Seats

A showing of Jennifer Lawrence’s new movie “No Hard Feelings” in New Mexico ended with one viewer shot dead and another hiding in the bushes outside.

An argument over seat placement and a thrown bucket of popcorn ended in murder at a New Mexico movie theater this weekend. According to the Albuquerque Journal, the deadly dispute began during a showing of the new Jennifer Lawrence flick “No Hard Feelings,” when a dispute erupted between 19-year-old Enrique Padilla and married couple Michael and Trina Tenorio over their seats. After an employee tried to mediate, Padilla allegedly threw a bucket of popcorn into Trina’s face, and Michael pushed Padilla into a wall. The gunfire that followed sent theater attendees running. Afterward, police found Michael Tenorio dead and Padilla hiding in the bushes outside with a gun and an unexplained bullet wound. Padilla has since been charged with murder.
