Sometimes a suicide is just a suicide.

NWS (US Government Weather Service) has that Bush Intercontinental Airport is 72 degrees.

However, there is a north-west blowing at 15 mph.

It is 200 mph from Austin to Bush Intercontinental.

Some reports are that this guy fired the AR-15 into the air and then pulled out a pistol and shot himself with that.

Weird.

Guess what happened three months and twenty miles from Denver's NRA convention in 1999...

Columbine.

“I mean - how’d he even get INTO the terminal with an AR?”

In Texas, an AR-15 is a clothing accessory.

He parked and walked into the terminal. He was in line at security when it went down.

Likely he just had the rifle in a duffel bag...

He fired the rifle up twice, an air Marshall fired at him and missed, then he pulled a pistol and shot himself.

Yeah, we (Texas) got rid of the “needed killin’” defense in the mid-60s. Too bad, really...

I just joined the thread from the Ruah thread, so I’m trying to catch-up. Honest.

I’m missing too many facts here; something’s weird. Gotta do some article digging on this story.
