Guns Found in Cookeville Theatre Showing Batman Movie - NewsChannel5.com | Nashville News, Weather & Sports

COOKEVILLE, Tenn.-  In Putnam County, guns were found in the theatre during a showing of "The Dark Knight Rises."

According to the Herald-Citizen, movie employees called police after seeing a man with a holster on his hip go into a theater showing the new Batman movie at the Highland 12 Theater.  Police could not identify the man employees were referencing, so the theater turned the movie off to allow officers to find him.

As it turns out, three different men with carry permits had their guns on them. They were all asked to put the guns back in their cars. The theater has a sign saying guns are not allowed. Police suggested the theatre make the sign more noticeable.
