Will Movie Theaters Ever Respond To Mass Shootings?



By Erik Sherman, Aug 07, 2015 Fortune

There have been three mass shootings in movie theaters since 2012. Yet there’s been no beefing up of security.

Wednesday saw a sad milestone, another movie theater shooting, in the Nashville, Tennessee area.
