Shots fired at LAX Terminal
« on: November 01, 2013, 01:58:38 PM »

At least a dozen shots, supposedly.  Inside the terminal.  I assume this means it is inside the "secure" area past the TSA?

Probably not, anything inside the doors would be counted as inside the terminal by the media.

I'm watching it on Fox Business, and they, at least, are being very careful to say only that there were shots fired in the terminal, but that there is no solid information yet as to where exactly it happened.

EDT: Well, except for what adively posted while I was typing. That's the second time i heard that it was a rifle.

The Los Angeles Times reports that two or three TSA employees were hit by gunfire.

Watching live report from Foxnews.com, it does look like a AR15 - M4 Style.  They showed a wider view and it appears to be at a gate (waiting chairs, etc.)

Just heard that the shooter might have been a disgruntled TSA employee.

When things like this happen, I usually assume a disgruntled employee or an angry husband/boyfriend taking out his frustration on the one doing the dirty with his wife/girlfriend.

A person describing an injury:

Quote
“I said, let me take a look, and he pulls up the pant leg and there’s a flesh wound — 3 to 4 inches — looks like it’s straight out of Hollywood, maybe a drop of blood or two,” he said.

It's amazing to me when people reference movies to stress how "realistic" something looks.

With this being TSA-on-TSA violence, that means it wouldn't have happened at all if the TSA wasn't in the airports in the first place.

Maybe we can get the TSA classified as an organized criminal syndicate over this, or a gang, or domestic terrorism group.

During a mid-day news conference, authorities did not confirm reports that the gunman was an off-duty or former TSA employee.

Drudge used to have a different story link but has since pulled it.  Speculative, but I saw it at Daily Paul, Drudge and elsewhere.  Now, this is the only one I can find.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/nov/1/possible-shooting-reported-lax/

Washington Times says that despite earlier reports, shooter is not an off-duty TSA employee.

Note the wording though, that there is no denial that the shooter is not a former TSA employee.


Also:

Quote
One witness was taking a nap, when he was awakened by the sound of gunfire and panicked people, CNN reported.

“I heard a popping sound and everybody was diving for cover,” said the man, Robert Perez, to CNN. “The TSA said there was a shooting in the terminal and to evacuate the building.”

Mr. Perez said he saw about 100 people fleeing down the stairs.

EFAD.

NBC's Peter Williams evidently has ALREADY done enough research on Paul Ciancia to determine he's a right wing anti-government type.
