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.

but they postponed their flight due to an important meeting at their firm and would fly out later in the afternoon for the weekend. Good thing!

This is frightening.

Shooting was on a parking structure...but who knows. So far I have seen at least 3 different people being treated.

26. TSA Agent Reported Shot at LAX; Major Police Response

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.
