MUNCIE - The young military veteran who shot and killed himself in a Muncie movie theater late Monday has been identified as Jacob W. Sexton, 21, of Farmland.

Sexton was on leave from serving in the Afghanistan war, but was set to return, according to the coroner's office.

Sexton was in the movie theater with three companions, two of them his brothers, watching "Zombieland."

...

Sexton had argued with theater employees after being asked to produce an ID to view the R-rated movie, saying he had killed 18 people in the service of his country, witnesses told police.

Investigators were able to interview nearly nearly all of the other theater patrons who were viewing the movie at the time of the shooting, Engle said about 2 a.m. Tuesday.

Monday's incident came only three days after the Friday night arrest of an Iraq War veteran from Lynn who allegedly fired a shotgun at Randolph County sheriff's deputies. Those officers were not wounded.
