Tuesday, January 14, 2014 – Daily News 5B WORLD BRIEFING examining a 2016 run, said in an interview with KPNXTV in Phoenix. ''I think that's what's being addressed here and that's why I think it's a bigger issue than just traffic. Because if it is true, if it looks like someone who won an election is punishing people they beat in the election; that leaves a really bad taste in people's mouth.'' Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, weighing a second presidential candidacy, complimented Christie on Sunday for taking tough questions but raised new questions about the governor's staffing decisions. Ex-Fla. cop accused in fatal shooting over texting WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. (AP) — An argument over texting in a Florida movie theater Monday triggered a retired Tampa police captain to fatally shoot a man sitting in front of him, as about 25 horrified moviegoers looked on, sheriff's officials said. ''Somebody throws popcorn. I'm not sure who threw the popcorn,'' said Charles Cummings, who, as a birthday treat, was about to watch the movie ''Lone Survivor'' at The Grove 16 Theater. ''And then bang, he was shot.'' Curtis Reeves, 71, has been charged with second-degree murder and it's not immediately clear whether he has retained an attorney. Pasco County Sheriff's officials said the shooting happened when Reeves asked 43-yearold Chad Oulson to stop texting at the theater in Wesley Chapel, a suburb about a half hour north of downtown Tampa. Reeves and his wife were sitting behind Oulson and his wife. Oulson told Reeves that he was texting with his 3-yearold daughter, Cummings said. ''It ended almost as quickly as it started,'' said sheriff's spokesman Doug Tobin. The sheriff's office says an offduty Sumter County deputy detained Reeves until police arrived. Cummings and his son Alex — who both had blood on their clothes as they walked out of the theater — told a group of reporters Monday afternoon that the show was still in previews when the two couples started arguing. Cummings said the man in the back row — later identified as Reeves — got up and left the auditorium, presumably to get a manager. But he came back after a few minutes, without a manager and appearing upset. Moments later, the argument between the two men resumed, and the man in the front row stood up. Officials said Oulson asked Reeves if he reported him to management for using his phone. Cummings said the men started raising their voices and popcorn was thrown. Authorities said Reeves took out a gun, and Oulson's wife put her hand over her husband, and that's when Reeves fired his weapon, striking Nichole Oulson in the hand and her husband in the chest. Christie faces criticism, silence from GOP rivals CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — As Democrats intensify their probe in New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie has found little support — and sharp criticism in some cases — from the slate of potential rivals for the Republican presidential nomination. At the same time, would-be allies from key states have been slow to rally behind the Republican governor, whose administration appears to have created a massive traffic jam to punish a political adversary. Some Republican leaders in Iowa and New Hampshire — states already gearing up for the nation's first 2016 presidential nominating contests — offered only conditional support for Christie, acknowledging the New Jersey investigation is far from over. ''I think only time will Bankruptcy and Estate Planning are my Specialties! 5am to 11pm ONE STOP ✓Check out our selection of beer, wine & tobacco Your One Stop Convenience Store 714 Walnut St., Red Bluff tell on this,'' said Bruce Rastetter, a wealthy Iowa businessman who led a group of like-minded Republican donors to New Jersey to encourage a 2012 Christie presidential run. ''And if he didn't have any knowledge, he should have a future.'' Documents revealed last week that figures in the Christie administration may have intentionally caused major backups near the George Washington Bridge, linking the community of Fort Lee to New York City, to exact political retribution against a Democratic mayor who refused to endorse his re-election campaign. Christie fired a top aide and jettisoned his chief political adviser after internal communications confirming their involvement became public. He adamantly denied any personal ''knowledge or involvement'' in the lane closures. Democrats in New Jersey on Monday formed special legislative committees with subpoena power, expanding the traffic-jam investigation into an abuse of power probe. But Christie, who is considering a presidential bid, is also facing criticism from his own party — particularly from other Republicans who are eyeing the presidency. The intense scrutiny underscores the tremendous political pressure Christie faces as one of his party's most popular figures ahead of the 2016 presidential contest.
