Springfield police plan to increase their presence in and around local movie theaters this weekend, just to keep a watchful eye out for any possible copycat crimes in the aftermath of the deadly shooting at a Colorado theater.
Deputy Chief Cliff Buscher says moviegoers should be alert to any signs of trouble, but indicates there is no specific reason to think that anyone is in particular danger at the movies.
He notes that even with a greater police presence, it’s almost impossible to prevent or plan for a “lone wolf” type of attack.
