Actually heard from some LA station I'm listening to on my cell that it was a white dude, medium build, and white, short hair. Another shooter has been neutralized from what I'm hearing.

Another insane democrat who snapped to not be reported in 3...2...

That's what I heard too, but they were also talking about gate 36, so who knows.  Earlier they said that 3 people were down.  ????

The shooter got off about 10 shots on the first level, at the base of the escalators going up to the security area and the bording gates.

It's got to be a Democrat because I heard a lady say they got off 21 shots, and that no one was killed.

Gunman in LAX shooting wounded, in custody, 3 injured, officials say

The gunman in a shooting Friday at Los Angeles International Airport was wounded and taken into custody after prompting authorities to evacuate a terminal and stop flights headed for the city from taking off from other airports, officials say.

A law enforcement source tells Fox News that the suspect may be a former or current TSA employee.

Gunshots were reported at Terminal 3 just around 9:30 a.m., the FBI said. One witness said a person with a rifle opened fire after getting through a security checkpoint. The suspect exchanged fire with airport police, police said.

Looks the shooter is possibly a TSA Agent.

It would explain the reports of TSA agents running ahead of passengers to escape the terminals.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- A man who allegedly shot and killed a Transportation Security Administration worker at Los Angeles International Airport Friday has been arrested, police said.

Officials said the alleged gunman was not a TSA employee, as initial reports indicated. NBC News reported he has been identified as Paul Anthony Ciancia, a 23-year-old Los Angeles man with strong anti-government views.

I'm afraid this incident highlights a fundamental point of vulnerability in the entire national air transportation network more than it says anything positive or negative about guns, crazy people, security, the TSA, or anything else.

DAT--I'm not a professional by any means, but most people know instinctively that the TSA is little more than street theater, and that no security system worth its salt is going to work without actually PROFILING bad guys, asking the questions, doggedly pursuing the red flags when they pop up.

TSA has shown themselves utterly unwilling and unable to do any of these things.

How many times have you been traveling, thinking, well, if I was gonna do this, here's how I'd go about it...

And luckily for EVERYONE in Terminal 3, this dipshit was only gunning for TSA folks.  If he'd been just out for a body count, it would have been UGLY.
