It seems a lot of the activity is going on outside. Hopefully that's where its limited to. Unheard it was a "multi-patient incident."

LAX and FAA personnel confirm all ground flights are halted for now. a shooter approached the TSA security checkpoint and shot a TSA agent.
Honestly this isn't very surprising. I'm sure I'm not the only one that believed such an incident would happen at an airport somewhere in the near future. We don't know all the details but man, the vulnerability of those places is just crazy. Yet the security is lax(pardon that unintentional pun).
planes are landing and taxiing for takeoff in other terminals... now for the finger pointing and blame game with the suspect who is in custody.
Just found out my brother is on a plane there in that terminal. I think they had just landed when this went down, and they're still not letting them off the plane.
There has been a shooting before at LAX. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-126437/Egyptian-gunman-kills-US-airport-shooting.html
