Immediately after New Haven, Ct. immigration attorney Sung-Ho Hwang was arrested with a gun tucked in his waistband at a theater showing ‘Dark Knight Rises,’ his lawyer derided the actions of police officers as “baseless.”
Tensions were high from the start; especially since the incident occurred two weeks after a man shot and killed a dozen people and injured 58 at a showing of the same movie in Colorado. The officers had responded to the Criterion-Bow Tie Cinemas in New Haven shortly after 10 p.m on a call about a man inside with a gun. When the police officers arrived, they said, Hwang was talking on his cell phone. Police said because Hwang did not stand up and put his arms up when initially asked, he was arrested on charges of breach of peace and interfering with police officers.
