PHILADELPHIA — The alleged gunman involved in a Christmas night shooting over noisy moviegoers is an Iraq war veteran, a churchgoer and a newlywed who fired in self-defense, his lawyer said.

James Joseph Cialella, 29, of Philadelphia is charged with firing a shot that broke the arm of Woffard Lomax Jr. inside a city movie theater during a screening of the film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

Lomax, 31, described the shooting for the first time in public Wednesday at a preliminary hearing, when a judge ordered Cialella held for trial on aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and related charges.

"He's a marksman," lawyer Greg Pagano said. "If he wanted to shoot to kill, he would have."
