Darkened theater. Someone starts shooting. Other patrons pull out their weapons. The first one shoots at the flash from the first weapon. The second person sees the first responding shooter and fires in that direction. Pretty soon you have several people shooting in different directions. People are getting caught in the crossfire. The police arrive. How can they know who the "bad guy" is?
