Houston Movie Theater Confrontation Turns Deadly

HOUSTON (AP) — Officials say a confrontation between two groups of people over the ending of a movie turned deadly in the parking lot of the Houston area theater.

The Harris County sheriff's office says the victim was at a movie theater with a couple of friends when they got into a verbal confrontation early Monday morning with two other men over the end of the movie they'd just seen.

Both parties exited the theater and the two males got into a pickup truck. The victim confronted them from outside the passenger door.

The driver then put the vehicle in reverse, striking the victim and knocking him to the ground. He later died at a hospital.

The driver and passenger fled. Investigators are looking for them to get details about what happened.
