A woman was shot Thursday night at a movie theater at The Landing in Renton and the suspect is in custody, police said.

Crews responded to the scene after reports of a shooting after 8 p.m.

Police said a woman was found inside the theater with a gunshot wound to the torso. She was taken to Harborview Medical Center and is in critical condition.

Before 10:30 p.m., police said the suspect was taken into custody after he called 911 to turn himself in.

Witnesses told KIRO 7, the shooter stumbled in the theater and appeared to be under the influence. According to police, the shooter was fumbling with a handgun when it went off and struck the woman in front of him.

Another witness said the shooter went into a restaurant and dropped his gun in front of the patrons. The man then picked up his gun and walked into the parking garage and got away.

The Landing is a movie theater located at 900 North 10th Place in Renton.
