Around 100 people were inside the Grand Theatre in Lafayette at the time to watch Trainwreck, a comedy starring Amy Schumer.
A cinema-goer said she thought the noise of gunshots were firecrackers when they first went off at 7.30pm local time.
“We heard a loud pop we thought was a firecracker,” Katie Domingue told the Louisiana Advertiser. 
Cinema-goers were evacuated after the shooting
She said she saw “an older white man” standing up and shooting down into the cinema, but not in her direction.
“He wasn't saying anything. I didn't hear anybody screaming either,” she added. In pictures: Lafayette shooting
The gunman, described by police as a 58-year-old “lone white male,” fired his handgun “numerous times” before killing himself.
Police said they know his identity but are not yet releasing it.
