Early in the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 1, 2013, there have been reports of shots fired at the Lox Angeles International Airport. CNN reported that parts of the airport have been evacuated after reports of shots being fired inside of terminal three.

A ground stop is in place at LAX with no flights coming in and none taking off.

The incident began around 9:30 a.m. on Friday morning in terminal three according to airport spokeswoman Nancy Suey Castles.

The entire area has been roped and blocked off around LAX, and there are reports of "several injured."

At least 100 people came down a staircase. "Everybody started to panic," Perez said.

Snipers and other law enforcement have been placed around LAX and on rooftops after reports of the shooting.....snip~

Turns out to be an off-duty TSA agent that walked into the terminal in camouflage gear and began targetting other TSA agents.

Thank god we have TSA to keep us safe!
 
Re: Shots Fired At LAX; Injuries Confirmed.....

Guess he wanted to get fired.

What is the possible meaning of this comment. Is it as I suspect and it's an ugly accusation of the TSA being responsible for one person going off the deep end and resorting to the usual use of firearms again, as is the norm in your country?

What kind of ugliness and hate is being demonstrated by a person who would come down in accusation against the TSA for such an incident? Supposing that's what you are attempting to do.

Human decency sometimes has to trump insanity and hating. Let's hope the latter is not your agenda.

Calm down Francis.

Ignored!

I've reported you for namecalling. Are you going to continue.

My comments were valid and not directed at you. An attempt to lay the blame on the TSA when it's clear that only one of their members has acted out with gun violence is repugnant and ugly. It's also motivated by ugly politics of hate and that's usually motivated by racist hate for Obama.
 
Re: Shots Fired At LAX; Injuries Confirmed.....

With all the cameras in airports we should have decent video of the incident eventually.

Is it okay in your world to dislike the President's policies regardless of what race he may be?

Calm Down Francis. Its a line from a movie. Loosen up its Friday.

Where'd you hear/read this? Is it confirmed or speculation?

howdy AP, how are things next door. Yesterday I had someone calling me a redneck only because I live in Georgia. I quietly introduced him to Jeff Foxworthy and a bunch of redneck jokes. He didn't and still doesn't realize that redneck has become a term of endearment down here. Now if I could just get him to watch Larry the Cable Guy.............

Good afternoon pero. I'm continually amazed by the preconceived beliefs some still hold based on someone's location.

Why aren't you a Thai yet?
 
Re: Shots Fired At LAX; Injuries Confirmed.....

Really? A TSO is shot and killed and your immediete reaction is to utilize it to throw out a one liner bitch about TSA?

Nevermind the non-sequiter of TSA generlaly not having law enforcement officers AT the checkpoints and the purpose of TSA is attempting to secure the interior portions of the airport and the skies. It's not like TSO's have much of anything to do in regards to people's actions prior to the check point or that their equipped or trained in any way to handle a shooter.

Just...wow

You realize that when looking at relative percentages, suggesting that the illegal use of a firearm to murder someone is the "Norm" in this country is as asinine, ugly, unfactual and ridiculous as the accusations you're responding to.

Disguise you r personal insults and namecalling any way you like. I've reported it again and if it continues then I'll start making up some names for you which I think I can get away with. Let's test it a little!

Should I, instead, jump up and down and immediately demand more loss of freedom


WOW, just WOW

Sticks and stones, man. Even if he meant it, why would you let that bother you?

Different times these are.

Yes, exactly, because CLEARLY the only two reactions to this is "Immedietely use it to do a one line bash of TSA" and "Immedietely call for them to tighten security permanently"

:roll:

There's a range of potential comments between those two things, and as I said...it'd help if your ridiculous oppertunistic attempt to launch into an attack on TSA was actually reasonably honest or worth while with regards to this situation, but it wasn't even that.
