Reports Of Gunmen At LAX, JFK Airports Appear To Be Hoaxes
quote:
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The LAX Airport Police Department is discounting reports of a shooter at the airport.
Several terminals have been evacuated. Many people went on social media to say they were standing on the tarmac surrounded by tons of police. The LA Airport PD cannot confirm an active shooter was ever identified.
Earlier, JFK officials said an elaborate hoax was perpetuated there. Reports of a shooter at JFK were discounted as bogus. It is unclear if the two reports are linked.
KCAL9 Anchor Leyna Nguyen was at the airport returning to Los Angeles from Atlanta. She said it was “surreal” to see so many people running.

Holy shite. The airport isn't a likely place for a "normal" shootout to break out either.

If your coworkers sister is past security, I'm sure she's fine. You can't get a gun through security.
And everytime I go to the airport there's security everywhere. The guy would have to get caught pretty quickly right?

Inciting panic is never a good thing, I'd think

Some guy on reddit is claiming to be there. Says it was an accidental discharge from a TSA agent's gun, and it struck a man in the head.
Kinda hard to believe...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say TSA agents aren't trained in active shooter situations. Given that they can barely perform their day to day job.
