Armed suspect at Orlando International Airport in Custody

An airport spokeswoman told the Orlando Sentinel that the armed suspect was on the first floor in the rental car area. WESH-TV reports that the man is in custody.

Witness Adam Steele told the Daily News that another witness said the suspect had a gun pointed to him while surrounded by cops.

Photos on social media show a heavy police presence at the airport. 

"I walked out of an elevator and saw a man on the ground and was very emotional," witness Cale Cooper told The News.  The airport tweeted that the area has been contained.

Good. Now let’s see the media make ASSumptions portraying this guy as some neo nazi Trump supporter, when in reality he’s a registered DEMOCRAT who’s either apolitial or a Sanderista and may have been born Christian but is agnostic or atheist.

Where are you getting info that the man has been arrested????

Your link does not say that and I am not finding it anywhere.

Orlando Police site says incident is ongoing.

Apparently...odd as it may be, the MEDIA did not have the FACTS before reporting.

Some of our local Orlando tv guys are desperate to be first, not accurate. It’s like a drug to them I guess.

Hard to believe (heh heh), MSM “reporters” screwing up.... ofc they hope that the guy WILL be in custody before long, but that does not seem to be the case just yet and there still could be a bad outcome of one kind or another.

Probably someone pissed off over a parking ticket but we’re a little leary with year anniversary of the Pulse attack in a couple of weeks.

One of the videos shows around a hundred police cruisers descending on the airport which means the city of Orlando is now effectively without any police protection. Wonder if that was the plan.
