Father Dies In Theater Over Texting Daughter

Wesley Chapel, FL (ITN)- A 71 year- old retired cop, Curtis Reeves is now convicted of second degree for shooting a father, identified as 43 year-old Claud Oulson that was shot over a teen daughter texting on her phone. The father took his daughter to the cineplex for a movie. Apparently, it was distraction at the theater leading to a heated argument between a retired cop and the father. Suddenly, as words were exchanged shot flares were fired and the father was found stretched out on two other movie patrons. His wife nicole as well was injured for grabbing her husband to stop the altercation.

Jamire Dixon, another movie goer on Dec. 28th, two weeks before the incident, said the man followed her to the restroom right after staring at her strangely while texting in the theater. Authorities report that this is not the first time the ex-law enforcer had a run-in with the law. Judge Lynn Tepper is denied Reeves bail after hearing discussion s that it was not a "stand your ground" incident. This is a sad scenario about how something so petty can get blown out of proportion.
