What is going on in this world another man has brought a bag full of weapons to a theater screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” luckily the police caught him before anything happened.
A manager at Crocker Park Regal Cinemas stopped Scott A. Smith, 37, before he was about to enter the 10 p.m. showing of ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ and asked to see inside his bag. Smith unzipped and showed the manager an empty side pocket of the bag, according to Westlake police.

He noticed and searched Smith’s bag, finding three knives inside, as well as a loaded 9 mm Glock handgun, two additional loaded magazines, and a fourth knife under his clothes. Each magazine had 17 rounds. Motive is still unknown.
