Police have identified the assailant in the Tennessee movie theater attack as a 29-year-old man who had been committed four times for psychiatric treatment.
Metro Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron said at a news conference late Wednesday that Vincente David Montano of Nashville had "significant psychiatric or psychological issues," and that he had been arrested in 2004 for assault and resisting arrest. He said a fingerprint taken at the theater matched that from his arrest.
Montano was allegedly wielding a gun and hatchet while wearing a backpack on his chest and a surgical mask unleashed large amounts of pepper spray inside a movie theater before he was shot and killed by police. Police say seven people were hurt.
