Witnesses recall the terrifying moments inside a Seattle movie theater when a fight involving an armed man broke out during a screening.

The fight started when someone tried to pass by the suspect in the theater, and the suspect wouldn’t step aside, according to Seattle Police. The incident happened on Friday, September 13 at the Regal Thornton Place theater. For Lorenzo Ambriz and his wife, the entire encounter will be replaying in their minds for some time. "It was definitely a sleepless night that first night," Ambriz said.

"The ear was almost entirely ripped off and the other victim sustained a head laceration," Munoz said. Seattle Police arrested the man armed with the gun. "Movie theaters are very crowded and very packed. If a gun were to go off, whether intentionally or accidentally, that could create a potential mass casualty scenario and luckily that didn’t happen at this time," Munoz said. On Monday, the suspect, Devon Mayfield, had his first court hearing.
