Shooting at LAX, several injured....

[sonserae]

No more news that I know of....Anyone else hear anymore specifics?

[sonserae]

More info: Terminal 2, opened fire at an Israeli Airlines ticket counter and shot several people. He was shot and killed.

[cgk]

Channel 4 is saying multiple victims. El Al Israeli airline. At least one dead.

Mrs Kus

[summer]

How many dead and how many injured?

[Rodney King]

The religion of peace, I presume.

[sonserae]

They say the gunman was shot and killed...no other status of the other victims so far. LAX security is horrible...and this proves it.

[BossLady]

Fox doing story on guy eating hotdogs....

[Rodney King]

How long until Dan Rather ties this to the gun show "loophole"?

[Husker24]

Geeze, thats a repeat, i saw it earlier.

[cgk]

ABC channel 7 in LA is saying someone opened fire at El Al airline ticket counter, killed at least one, then shot others. Suspect was killed by security? Now they're saying 2 dead (1 is suspect), 2 being treated.

Mrs K

[sonserae]

Yes, 2 confirmed dead, one being the suspect.

[monkeyshine]

At El Al (Israeli) Airline

[Sabertooth]

Shooters in cops' uniforms?

Reports of ME guys trying to procur them all week.

[monkeyshine]

Don't know the nationality/race of the shooter, don't know if this is related to middle east tensions. Terminal is evacuated... pictures of many 100's of people leaving the terminal and standing on the overpass at the airport.

[TheOtherOne]

Word of someone stabbed also. (According to local channel 2 CBS)

[VA Advogado]

At the Israel airline terminal. Hmmmm.

[monkeyshine]

You can easily bring a gun into the terminal. You just can't get it past security (supposedly).

[Sabertooth]

((((((growl)))))

[monkeyshine]

2 dead, one is the gunman. See pictures of a little girl being held by policewoman. She may have been separated from her parents in the panic.

[Clara Lou]

Mass evacuation of the terminal. I predict that it's 2 martyr-wannabes. Shooting and stabbing involved.

[hole_n_one]

[OXENinFLA]

Just being reported on FOX man was buying ticket at EL AIR (Spell) Israel's airline. Also Gunman dead + 1 victim

[monkeyshine]

Yeah, I know it was sarcasm. Just posting a stream of consiousness. I enjoy freeping during breaking news.

[Husker24]

They picked the wrong airline to screw with.

[relee]

Maybe a diversion?

[tlrugit]

Suspect shot by ElAl security.

[Clara Lou]

Who did that dimbulb marry?

[monkeyshine]

I don't know if it's illegal or not. But it's still easy to do. Just bring it in. There's no way for anyone to know if it is properly concealed.

[Jedi Master Yoda]

Lets guess what the odds are that the shooter is a Arab member of the Religion of Peace between the ages of 18 and 40.

[Howlin]

You're right. See #30.

[mikegi]

Yep. PMSNBC just said that it was El Al security that shot the gunman.

[TheOtherOne]

Thanks.

[sonserae]

There is no security check until you go through the gates. The ticket counters are vulnerable because you can just walk into the door off the street...no security check.

[Khepera]

No way!!! California has strong gun laws.

[BossLady]

Looks like someone was actually doing their job and did not want to sell the idiot shooter a ticket on El Al.

[Sabertooth]

KRLA Los Angeles reports 2 dead, 2 wounded, possibly more. "possibly officer involved." Terminal 1 evacuated, Police and Fire on the scene.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

They say the gunman was shot and killed...no other status of the other victims so far. LAX security is horrible...and this proves it.

Not much can be done about someone bringing a gun into the ticketing area...

[EggsAckley]

This makes me wonder if the El Al security is as rigid in other countries as it is in Israel. Hmmmm.....

[lormand]

"MSNBC went back to Julia Roberts wedding, WHO THE FU*K CARES!!!"

MSNBC is obviously consistent with their ratings...which is dead last.

[Brad C.]

Is there such thing as a "public" citizen (as opposed to private)?

[Ouachita]

How long until Dan Rather ties this to the gun show "loophole"?

Or a drunken pilot wanting to carry a gun into the cockpit.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Actually - it is illegal for a private citizen to carry a loaded firearm into the terminal

That can't be! If it were illegal to carry a loaded firearm into the terminal then this guy couldn't have done it. Isn't that the theory behind all gun laws? If you make it illegal to own a gun, bad guys won't be able to use them to commit crimes.

[knak]

Let's hope not. Be vigilant!

[OXENinFLA]

It is sounding like the gunman was targeting someone. Or he's just a nut. Any reports of the Gunmans RACE?

[katnip]

Yep. PMSNBC just said that it was El Al security that shot the gunman.

Hey, how come El AL security gets to have guns while our National Guardsmen in the airports don't?

[JohnPaulJones]

let me quess it was a lone white quy....
