Jacob W. Sexton, 21, of Farmland, Indiana, got into a senseless argument with theatre workers because he was asked to show his ID before purchasing tickets to see an R-rated movie. His reaction was to pull out a gun and shoot himself in the head. The StarPress reports that he “was on leave from serving in the Afghanistan war, but was set to return.” From the story:
Sexton had argued with theater employees after being asked to produce an ID to view the R-rated movie, saying he had killed 18 people in the service of his country, witnesses told police.
…Monday’s incident came only three days after the Friday night arrest of an Iraq War veteran from Lynn who allegedly fired a shotgun at Randolph County sheriff’s deputies. Those officers were not wounded.
