The guy was invoking the name of Allah. With any luck, this guy will meet the maker soon enough.

People were making fun of his turban

FYI thats in New Orleans.

[TheLurkerX]

I haven't heard anything on Fox about it. They're covering Chandra.

[Siouxz]

SHAME on people for making fun of his turban! This is the kind of thing that sets these people off. We need to be much more tolerant of other cultures.

/sarcasm.

good grief whats next today

[yikes]

I wonder if he had gone through "security".

[Paul Atreides]

Get ready for some Clinton-appointed judge to give the shooter a big cash settlement as the "victim" of a hate-crime.

I wonder how long it will take Susan Sarandon and Ed Asner to get on the phones drumming up a benefit for this poor, put-upon victim.

[Bogey78O]

That's my airport!!!!!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I got bagged on for calling this a terrorist act. A turban-wearing fruitcake firing shots with a sawed-off shotgun at the airport is terrorism in my book!

[A Citizen Reporter]

All,

Question: Has anyone seen this reported on cable TV other than Fox? I saw it reported on FNC once about 1/2 hour ago, but they haven't said one thing more. By the looks of this thread, no other cable channel has reported it.

KENNER, La. -- A woman was shot Wednesday afternoon as she stood in the ticket lobby of New Orleans' Louis Armstrong International Airport. Witnesses said a man tackled the shooter after the gun jammed or misfired.

A suspect was taken into custody, said airport spokeswoman Michelle Dufourc. It was not known if the suspect and victim knew each other. Their identities were unavailable.

The woman was hospitalized in stable condition. Airport spokeswoman Michelle Dufourc said the woman's injuries did not appear life threatening.

"I heard one very loud boom," said Mary Ann Rouanet, a US Airways ticketing agent. She said she ducked behind the counter; other employees scrambled out of sight through the baggage conveyor.

Another witness, Jonathon Jenkins, told WWL-TV that the shooter was subdued by another man after the gun jammed.

"Everyone scattered. Everyone went down in the middle of the lobby," Jenkins said. "I went down and when I came up I noticed a man with a shotgun in his hand. ... He went to pump the gun again and it jammed."

This is exactly why I have been on my soapbox and screaming that we have to check people before they get into the terminal. We need checks at the perimeter. If it were a bomb, he would have killed many people. By the time someone gets to a machine to be x-rayed, he is in a position to do a great amount of damage.

I saw this on Fox. Man carrying a koran and wearing a turban starts shouting about allah and shooting bystanders. Then a commercial, then nothing. Someone is spiking this story.

Woman Shot Inside New Orleans Airport

Everybody knows this is impossible. There was a law passed making this illegal.

Showertime!

People were making fun of his turban.

After hearing this I will never call one "towel head" again, though I might occasionally call one "pull start"

The guys with the red dot on their forhead I may still call "push start".
