A screening of Amy Schumer's Trainwreck came to a horrifying end after a gunman opened fire on a theater full of moviegoers in Louisiana ... leaving 3 dead and 7 injured before killing himself.
The shooting took place at the Grand Theatre in the city of Lafayette.

Jim Craft, police chief in Lafayette, confirmed that three people had died, including the gunman. He said seven people were injured in the shooting, some critically.
He described the gunman as a "lone white male" aged 58, but said police were not releasing it at this time. No motive had been put forward for the attack.

"It appears the shooter has died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds," he said.
Police scotched rumours there was a secondary shooter and officers said the weapon used was a handgun.
The shooting happened about 20 minutes into a 7.00pm showing of the movie Train Wreck.

Katie Domingue was in the cinema with her fiance when the gunman opened fire.
"We heard a loud pop we thought was a firecracker," she said. she described the gunman as "an older white man", and said he stood up and started shooting.
"He wasn't saying anything. I didn't hear anybody screaming either," she said.

She said she heard about six shots, then ran for the nearest exit with her partner, leaving behind her shoes and purse.
The shooting comes three years after gunman James Holmes killed 12 people and injured 70 more during a packed screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado.
Holmes was found guilty of the massacre earlier this month.
Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal praised police officers who ran towards the shots.
He said "senseless" and "seemingly random acts of violence" "make us both furious and sad at the same time".
"We're a resilient community. This is an awful night ... We will get through this."
