Evanston Police Department officers on Monday night responded to a report of disorderly conduct at the Century 12 Evanston/Cinéarts 6 movie theater in downtown Evanston.

An employee of the theater informed officers movie attendees notified her that a group of people in Theater 7 were talking about guns and shooting, said Evanston police Cmdr. Ryan Glew.

The employee entered the theater and heard someone talking about shooting, at which point she called the police. Officers arrived at the scene and lined all the people in Theater 7 up against a wall outside the theater to check for a firearm but did not find anything, Glew said.

A 40-year-old Chicago resident and her teenage children were identified as those talking about the shooting but denied making the remarks and were not taken into custody, Glew added.
