    Per ABC13

    "We're hearing the shooting happened at Terminal B. No other details were immediately available. We have a news crew on the way and will bring you the latest once we get more information."

    Pull up to passenger drop off... walk in with AR-15... and pop off two shots in the check-in area. Who said he got past the security check?

    I don't think he did. It says he fired the shots in the ticketing area, which is typically before you go through security.

    the ticket counter is the first place you enter when you get into the airport.

    so a man armed with an ar-15 and a pistol walked right into an airport and fired away.

    I can see where this one is headed

    He probably went through the side. I have met several friends arriving in Houston and not once was I searched, looked at, or even seen most of the time, until I got to the baggage area.

    I'm sure this is exactly how he got in undetected. Especially at T-B, I can probably go walk in right now and not see one person until i get too baggage area.

    weird how so many of you are acting like you narrowly escaped death because you or relatives flew or are soon flying on a plane.

    Everyone who just posted they were flying soon should really just cancel their flights.
