Attacker had bomb materials

The man who attacked a movie theater with a pellet gun, an ax and pepper spray also had a propane tank and lighter fluid and may have been planning to set off an explosion, authorities said.

Vincente David Montano, 29, was shot to death by a SWAT unit Wednesday during the matinee showing of “Mad Max: Fury Road” at a Nashville multiplex.

Metro Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron said investigators had not established a motive for the attack, but he said Montano had been committed for psychiatric treatment at least four times.
