Argument Leads To Shooting Inside Philly Theater

PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― Police arrested a suspect in connection to a shooting inside a South Philadelphia movie theater Christmas night.

The incident happened at about 9:30 p.m. inside the Riverview Movie Theater on Columbus Boulevard.

According to police, suspect James Cialella, 29, told a man and his family to be quiet during the showing of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.' Police said Cialella then threw popcorn at the victim's son and a physical altercation ensued between Cialella and the man.

Police said Cialella then began walking towards the man's family and the man stood between Cialella and his family. Police said Cialella then shot the man once in the left arm.

The shooting victim was taken to Jefferson University Hospital and was listed in stable condition.

Police arrived at the theater and arrested Cialella. Officers recovered a Kel-Tec 380 caliber handgun from the front of Cialella's waist, clipped inside his sweatpants.

Cialella has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and other related charges.
