Children With What Appeared to Be Guns Threatened Movie Goers in Stamford: Police

Five juveniles from Stamford were arrested after they went into the Majestic movie theatre in Stamford with what appeared to be guns Sunday night and told everyone to put their hands up, according to police. 

Police were alerted at 7:53 p.m. Sunday that several people had gone into the theater with guns and threatened people. 

Officers responded to 118 Summer St. and determined that several people had run inside and yelled, “Everyone get their hands up,” then shot cap guns and they fled south on Summer Street. 

Officers found four juveniles at Washington and Tresser boulevards and seized two cap guns, police said. Another juvenile was detained near the theater with a backpack. Police said they found another cap gun nearby. 

Five juveniles were brought to the Stamford Police juvenile division for processing. 

The teens who fired the cap guns have been charged with first-degree reckless endangerment, breach of peace and conspiracy, according to police. 

The other two juveniles were charged with breach of peace and conspiracy. 

The suspects, four boys and girl, are from Stamford and are between 10 and 16 years old, according to police. 

Police said the theater patrols were quite shaken up from this incident and should all be commended for their cooperation with the investigation and willingness to come forward.
