(135,425 posts)I got diverted and delayed overnight from a flight last month owing to a nut in Jacksonville who "said" he had an explosive device. He had no such thing but he ruined everyone's day.

It was a man on the rooftop with a high powered rifle. Not inside LAX. One person shot.

This is frightening.

(12,325 posts)Christ. RT @ReutersUS: Three dead in shooting at #LAX airport, says Fox News citing FBI; officials confirm incident at Terminal 3
And I think there may be much more injured.

(135,060 posts)Shooting was on a parking structure...but who knows. So far I have seen at least 3 different people being treated.
FarCenter
(19,429 posts)Shooter has apparently been shot and secured.
Passengers apparently crashed out of the emergency exits onto the tarmac around terminals 2 and 3, so it is going to take some time to secure the area, screen passengers and restore operations.
Now all flights grounded.
Horseshoe drive in and out of LAX has been closed off.
maddezmom
(135,060 posts)Still a lot of activity.....it going to be a mess for a long time.
