HOWELL, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say a man set off fireworks near a New Jersey movie theater as his friend made a marriage proposal and created panic among moviegoers who mistook them for gunshots. The confusion caused authorities to evacuate the Xscape Theater in Howell on Wednesday night. Responding officers soon found the remnants of the fireworks, and it was determined no shots had been fired. The man who set off the fireworks was charged with an infraction and disorderly conduct. Authorities say that there was no intent to cause panic at the theater and that it was just “a very poor decision.”
