Amy Schumer has released a statement following the tragic shooting at a screening of her movie Trainwreck that has left at least three people dead.

“My heart is broken and all my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Louisiana,” the 34-year-old comedian tweeted shortly after the news broke on Thursday night (July 23).

A 58-year-old white male stood up in the crowd about 20 minutes into the screening and fired into the audience with a handgun. Three people are dead, including the shooter, who shot and killed himself. Seven victims were hospitalized and three are suffering critical injuries, according to reports.

We continue to send out our thoughts and condolences to anyone affecting by this tragedy.

Six people are injured following a shooting during a screening of the movie Trainwreck on Thursday night (July 23) at the Grand Theatre in Lafayette, La.

It has been confirmed by City Marshal Brian Pope that the shooting took place during a 7pm showing of the new Amy Schumer comedy. The shooter turned the gun on himself and he is dead.

Eyewitness Katie Domingue told The Daily Advertiser that the shooting happened 20 minutes into the movie.

“We heard a loud pop we thought was a firecracker,” she said, adding that “an older white man” stood up in the crowd and shot down.

“He wasn’t saying anything. I didn’t hear anybody screaming either,” she added.

We send our thoughts and condolences to anyone affected by this tragedy.

UPDATE: It is now being reported that three people, including the shooter, have died.

The first trailer for Judd Apatow‘s new flick Trainwreck is here – and it features comedian Amy Schumer in the starring role as, well, a trainwreck!

Here’s a synopsis of the comedy: Since she was a little girl, it’s been drilled into Amy’s (Schumer) head by her rascal of a dad that monogamy isn’t realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credo – enjoying what she feels is an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitment – but in actuality, she’s kind of in a rut. When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article she’s writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on to something.

The film also stars basketball star LeBron James, Vanessa Bayer, Brie Larson, and Colin Quinn, and will hit theaters on July 17.
