#LiveTrial: Curtis Reeves, a retired police captain, said he fired his pistol because he feared for his life after Chad Oulson threw popcorn at him. After 8-years, jury selection slowly moves forward.
The shooting occurred January 13, 2014 at a movie theater in Wesley Chapel, near Tampa. Before the 1:20pm showing of “Lone Survivor” began, victim Chad Oulson was texting his two-year-old daughter’s babysitter when Reeves confronted him about using his phone.
The two men began arguing. Surveillance footage from the theater shows Oulson grab 71-year-old Reeves’ popcorn and throw it at him. Reeves then fires a gun, hitting Oulson in the chest, fatally wounding the 43-year-old man.
Reeves, a retired Tampa police officer, was charged with second-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense
