From what I've read of witness testimonies, the gunman simply opened fire without words.
From the Communist News Network:

" 11:16 p.m. : The weapon used in the shooting was a handgun, said police Sgt. Brooks David.
10:52 p.m.: Authorities said they know the identity of the shooter but are withholding it so as not to "affect the integrity" of the investigation. "
Other sources are saying the man had a criminal history.
The reporting is a little inflamed. The three dead includes the shooter, and the two people he killed were those he sat right behind. If I were a betting man, those two were his targets. He might have shot at others to try and mask it as a movie theater shooting, but he ran back inside the theater and shot himself after he saw the officers closing in on the theater.
It sounds less random once you look beyond the inflamed reporting. He planned to escape and hope that he would remain anonymous and the event categorized as another senseless shooting.
I would imagine there is a connection between the shooter and the two dead victims.
A lot of the other injuries sound like they were panic-induced and simply included to imply there was a lot more shooting going on than there actually was.
