Renton moviegoers upset they weren’t evacuated after shooting.

People watching movie in adjacent theaters said they weren't evacuated and walked out of their movies to find a pool of blood and what appeared to be a crime scene in the lobby.

They said the Regal staff didn't tell them anything about what had happened.

“There's blood on the ground, looked like there was some bandages or something. Everyone looked kind of dazed, like the staff. They didn’t say anything to me,” said moviegoer James Baker.

“Anything would have been better than what I just witnessed in that lobby,” moviegoer Aaron Hallman said Thursday night.  I have no idea what's going on. I have no idea what happened."

Security precautions were put into place at the theater.

Last year, Regal Cinemas started checking bags of moviegoers before entering the building after the Louisiana theater shooting.

Witnesses at Thursday’s shooting said the gunman had a pistol in his waistband.
