Man Sets Off Fireworks In Crowded Theater

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

A man walked into a filled movie theater in Hanover, Maryland and set off fireworks causing a panic when people believed someone was committing a mass shooting.

Police have not been able to identify the man who walked into the Cinemark Movie Theater in Arundel Mills.

“Everybody’s just jumping out of their seats and screaming,” witness Luis Andrade told CBS Baltimore about the explosion’s aftermath.  “We saw a gentleman say ‘there’s an emergency exit’ and we ran out.”

Police say it appears that the man who committed the act was pulling a prank.

“The person needs to be held responsible and brought to justice (even if a prank),” Lt. TJ Smith told reporters.

Police obtained photos of an African-American man wearing a red bandanna that they believe to have set off the homemade explosive device.  They are asking the public’s help in trying to track him down.
