LAFAYETTE, La. — The gunman who killed two women and wounded nine people in
a theater here Thursday night had a history of mental illness and financial
trouble, officials said, and reportedly vented hatred of liberals and the
government online, predicting the collapse of the United States.
The police identified the gunman as John Russell Houser, 59, of Phenix City,
Ala. On Twitter, on antigovernment discussion boards, and on other forums
online, a person using that name and the name Rusty Houser praised the
Westboro Baptist Church, which has drawn ire for demonstrating against gays
at military funerals; Timothy J. McVeigh, who bombed a government building
in Oklahoma City in 1995, killing 168, and even Adolf Hitler.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks racist and antigovernment
groups, said the posts were all from Mr. Houser.
“America is so sick that I now believe it to be the enemy of the world,”
he wrote on one discussion forum. “I know next to nothing about Iran, but
the little I do know tells me they are far higher morally than this
financially failing filth farm.”
Mr. Houser was treated in the Phenix City area for an unspecified mental
illness in 2008 and 2009, according to Heath Taylor, the sheriff of Russell
County, Ala. Court records show that he filed for bankruptcy protection in
2002, and the superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, Col. Michael D.
Edmonson, said his finances had been poor; he recently received money from
his mother.
Sheriff Taylor said Mr. Houser applied in 2006 for a permit to carry a
concealed pistol, but was denied because he had been arrested on an arson
charge; it was unclear whether he was convicted. Alabama, however, does not
require a permit or license to buy or own a handgun.
In March 2014, Mr. Houser was evicted from a home in Phenix City, which is
on the border with Georgia. A criminal complaint was later filed accusing
him of vandalizing the house.
Law enforcement officials here said they were looking into how and when Mr.
Houser acquired the gun he used in the assault, and why he was in Lafayette,
a 500-mile drive from Phenix City.
“Because of the brand of weapon it is, it’s more difficult to trace that
type of weapon than it is other types,” said Chief Jim Craft of the
Lafayette Police Department, but he would not elaborate.
The police said Mr. Houser had been in Lafayette since early July and had
been staying in a motel, They appealed to the public for help in learning
more about the gunman.

Kemp/The Advocate, via Associated Press Law enforcement and other emergency
personnel responded to the scene of a shooting at the Grand Theatre in
Lafayette, La., on Thursday.
The gunman parked a blue 1995 Lincoln Continental, with illegally switched
license plates, near an exit door to the Grand Theater, and in his motel
room, “we found wigs and glasses and disguises, basically,” Chief Craft
said at a Friday morning news conference just outside the crime scene.
“It is apparent that he was intent on shooting and then escaping,” Chief
Craft said. “What happened is that the quick law enforcement response
forced him back into the theater, at which time he shot himself.”
Colonel Edmonson, said, “To put a motive to it is just something that we
simply can’t do right now.” He said there was no known connection between
the gunman and any of the victims.
Mr. Houser bought one of 25 tickets sold for a showing of the comedy “
Trainwreck,” and sat for several minutes in the theater, the authorities
said. Shortly before 7:30 p.m., he began shooting, firing at least 13 rounds
from a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun.
“He was by himself, he sat by himself, and the first two people he shot
were right in front of him,” Chief Craft said.
He identified the two dead women as Mayci Breaux, 21, and Jillian Johnson,
33. The wounded ranged in age from their teens to their 60s, and one was
listed Friday in critical condition. Two were treated and released.
Witnesses said Mr. Houser stood at the back of the auditorium, which had
steeply pitched, stadium-style seating, and fired down at others. Mr. Houser
reloaded at least once as he tried to flee the theater, Chief Craft said,
and returned when he saw police.
Tanya Clark, 36, who was at the theater to see another movie, was at the
concession stand with her three children when she saw people run screaming
through the lobby.
“I thought it was just a joke,” said her son, Robert Martinez, 17. “
People were screaming.”
He said that a woman in her 60s ran past them shouting that she had been
shot in the leg. He saw blood pouring down her leg, he said.
Ms. Clark grabbed her 5-year-old daughter and ran, she said, leaving her
purse and phone on the concession stand counter.
“I just grabbed her arm,” she said. “In that moment, you don’t think
about anything. That’s when you realize that your wallet and phone are not
important.”
Paige Bearb, a moviegoer who was in a theater next to the one where the
shooting took place, said, “We could hear people screaming next door.”
An alarm soon sounded, and she ran outside.
“As we were running for our car, I could see people with gunshot wounds and
one lady bleeding from the leg with a T-shirt wrapped around it,” she said.
Gov. Bobby Jindal visited with some of the victims and their families at a
local hospital. He said early Friday that he had spoken with two teachers
who had been in the theater together. Both were shot, including one who
pulled a fire alarm after being struck in the leg by a bullet.
One teacher told him that “her friend literally jumped over her, and in her
account, literally saved her life,” he said, adding, “We’re going to
hear about other acts of selfless heroism.”
Chief Craft said that before the shooting, two police officers were already
on the property, a 16-screen multiplex on Johnston Street, one of the
busiest thoroughfares in the city, that had about 300 people in it at the
time. The officers immediately headed to the auditorium as the audience fled.
“As they made their way into the crowd, they heard a shot, and upon
entering the theater, the suspect was found from deceased from a self-
inflicted gunshot wound,” he said.
Mr. Houser had a criminal history, he said, including arson, but all of it
was more than 10 or 15 years ago. Colonel Edmonson said investigators had “
been to his house in Alabama, they’ve talked to his friends, they’ve
talked to his family.”
The family members apparently had not been in contact with him recently,
Chief Craft said, Mr. Houser’s only known connection to Lafayette was a
long-dead uncle who once lived here.
The investigation inside the theater was briefly halted late Thursday night
when the police found what they said was a suspicious object with wires
inside the gunman’s car, and feared that it might be an explosive. A bomb
squad was called, and early on Friday, the vehicle’s windows and trunk were
blown up.
Similarly, three objects in the theater that investigators feared could be
dangerous bombs were in the theater, and were examined with a robot, while
an apartment complex behind the theater was evacuated as a precaution. The
objects in the theater and the one in the car all turned out not to be
dangerous, officials said. | T******g
