Investigators Say Man With Stolen Gun May Have Been Planning A Theater Massacre In Center Twp

A prosecutor says there’s a “real possibility” a Georgia man jailed on charges he brought a stolen gun and ammunition into a Center Township movie theater planned to shoot it up. Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier is talking about 21-year-old William Gossett, of Covington. He was arrested Saturday at the Cinemark Theater in Center Township on Saturday. Township police say they say they stopped Gossett after he walked into the theater with a large bag, wearing long-sleeved military fatigues despite temperatures in the 90s. Police say the handgun in the bag was stolen in Ohio. Gossett is charged only with receiving stolen property and having an unlicensed gun. Federal authorities confirm they’re also investigating.
