Gunman Opens Fire At LAX

McGruber tips news that today at 9:30AM PST, a man removed an assault rifle from a bag at Los Angeles International Airport and opened fire. The shooter moved into the screening area, and then further into the terminal. One TSA agent was killed; roughly six more people were injured. The gunman was a ticketed passenger. (Early reports suggested he worked for the TSA — this does not seem to be the case.) Police engaged him in gunfire, and he's now in custody. His motive is unknown at this time.

Re:Those poor people

The TSA is a volunteer service. I have just slightly more sympathy for them than the "fucking people too" who joined the SS. But of course there's no excuse for shooting at them - you never know where those bullets might end up; you'll likely hurt someone nearby!
