AceShowbiz - What the community has been worried of finally happens. 50 Cent film titled "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" has been assumed to cause a shooting incident which killed one man. And as a result the drama genre is being pulled from the theater.
The incident happened Wednesday evening when shots were fired during an argument between four customers about to watch "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" screening at the Loews Cineplex at the Waterfront in West Homestead near Pittsburgh, Pensylvania. Shelton Flowers, 30, was shot three times after an argument broke out between three people. He later died at a local hospital.
Flowers was carrying an unregistered gun without a permit, according to police. It is said that he had been in the cinema watching "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" and became involved in an argument in the toilets. Flowers and one other man had fired shots, but the police have no suspects. Speaking about the incident, 50 simply commented "I feel for the victim's family in this situation. But you know, these weren't kids. This was a 30-year-old man who had a dispute with three other guys."
