Man brings gun to ‘Captain America: Civil War’ open casting call in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
A Fort Bragg soldier told police that he never meant to cause any harm or any panic after he walked into a mall for a ‘Captain America’ open casting call.
According WNCN, Bryan Wolfinger, 25, was arrested on July 3rd after police received several 911 calls of an armed gunman walking around in the mall. Apparently, Wolfinger thought it was a good idea to bring an AR-15 rifle, bullet proof vest and multiple high capacity magazines.
He argued that the studio told him he could bring any props he wanted and the gun he brought was never loaded.
“Given that it’s a casting call for a battlefield setting, I decided to use things to look the part,” said Wolfinger in the statement. “I had an AR-15 without the firing pin and personal gear.”
Wolfinger said after the Captain America: Civil War photo shoot, he was stopped by police officers who arrested them.
Wolfinger revealed that he was pursuing a career in modeling and acting.
“After the photo shoot, [the photographer] said that she didn’t know how to feel about guns before, but this photo shoot has definitely made her more comfortable, said Wolfinger. “We continued to smile and joke. ”
During the incident, Macy’s was evacuated and other stores were put on lockdown. Wolfinger was charged with going armed to the terror of the public, a misdemeanor charge. He was released back to his Fort Bragg unit after his arrest.
