(CNN) -- Florida theater shooting suspect Curtis Reeves
is expected to attend his bond hearing Wednesday. So is the wife of the
man he is accused of killing in a movie theater over a texting argument
last month.
The January 13 shooting
at a movie theater in Wesley Chapel killed Chad Oulson and left his
wife, Nicole Oulson, with a hand injury.
Reeves, 71, a former
Tampa police officer, is accused of shooting Chad Oulson after an
altercation because the latter was texting the couple's babysitter
during movie previews, police said.
The suspect was with his wife for the matinee at the theater in suburban Tampa.
During the argument, Reeves left the auditorium, apparently to complain to management, police said.
He returned irritated, the argument continued and popcorn was thrown, a witness said.
In the incident report,
the suspect told police he was hit with an unknown object in the face
and fearing he was under attack, pulled a handgun from his pocket and
shot Chad Oulson.
But the victim's wife said the two men exchanged words, but nothing that merited gunfire.
"It was a couple of
words. No threats. No harm. No nothing," she told ABC's "Good Morning
America" last month. "We're both very respectful when the movie is on,
that we put our phones away. He took a couple of seconds just to check
the phone to make sure there were no messages about our daughter."
A defense attorney has
said Reeves was the victim and Chad Oulson was the aggressor. But Nicole
Oulson's attorney, TJ Grimaldi, dismissed that idea.
