Wife flying in to FLL today.
She missed it.
Lucky gal.

More Jihad to an airport close to you?
Or just a regular nut with a gun?
Either way, a sad day for those shot and their relatives

Sounds like more than one live shooter. Had one in custody and then more shooting in another garage.

Second shooter rumor has been debunked. Only one shooter.

Reports are that the shooter got off a flight from Canada with a checked weapon. He retrieved the weapon and went to the bathroom where he loaded it and came out shooting.

No terrorists ties yet...

Recent reports were that the gentleman is either active Army or an Army vet and got into an argument with passengers on the flight.
