Last night I went with my wife Hannah and her sister Carolyn to see Harry Potter while in Provo. We were very excited, having done a Harry Potter movie marathon leading up to the event. We were in the movie for about an hour and a half, when some lights started flashing in the theater, and a recorded message repeated something like, "an emergency has been reported. Please move towards the stairs and take the closest exit". As we were walking out we asked a staff member who said she thought there was a minor fire. When we got to the parking lot though, the general manager announced that there was a man who entered the theater with a bomb. Soon enough, several policemen, ambulances, and fire trucks arrived at the scene. They walked all over the theater, including the roof, and then asked us if we had seen him. He more than likely left with the crowd. We didn't get to see the end of the movie, for the which we were rather peeved.

Hey I'm an editor for The Daily Universe, BYU's newspaper, and is there any way I could contact you to get an interview about your experience at the Wynnsong? I just googled recent news about the incident and found your blog.
