Reports via twitter. Let's hope it is like JFK and is just a false alarm.

I did a quick search on Twitter and the official news agencies are saying police told them the "shots fired" claim are unconfirmed at this point, but they are actively investigating...

Not again...Praying for those people's safety. If this turns into another situation like Crabtree Valley Mall or JFK airport the government blew their cover wide open.

I am seeing online that it is more than likely a false alarm. A lot of conflicting reports out there though. I wonder what's up with these false alarms if this is proven that it's a false alarm?

[h=1]LAX Terminal Area Closed, Traffic Jammed After Report of Active Shooter; No Evidence of Shooting: Police[/h][COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65098)]
lax-traffic-jammed.jpg
Traffic was jammed at LAX following an unconfirmed report of an active shooter at LAX on Aug. 28, 2016.
[/COLOR]
Traffic is snarled, the central terminal area is closed and a ground stop has been initiated for Los Angeles International Airport following a report of an active shooter Sunday night that proved to be unfounded, authorities said.
Just after 9 p.m., police said they were investigating reports of an active shooter at LAX Sunday night but have been unable to confirm that any shooting took place, airport police said.
“Police searching LAX after reports. All precautions being taken to ensure safety of public. Remain calm,” the Los Angeles Airport Police Department tweeted around 9:15 p.m.
The Los Angeles Fire Department also responded to the scene and tweeted that “no significant incident” has been noted.
Earlier, authorities said they had blocked off the entrance to Los Angeles International Airport Sunday night due to the police activity.
Photos and videos from the chaotic scene appeared to show the airport being evacuated.
The upper departure level and lower arrival level of the airport’s central terminal have been closed for an unknown amount of time, according to an LAX tweet.
A ground stop has been initiated for flights departing for LAX from airports west of, and including, Minnesota. It was scheduled to go through 10 p.m., CNN reported.
Passengers planning to fly out of LAX should check with their airline for the status of their flight.
It was not immediately clear how many flights would be impacted as a result of the incident.
Check back for updates on this developing story.

I meant to look this up last night because I saw someone snapping about it. I figured since he was just standing there snapping (and not running like the people he was filming) it must not have been as serious. Not sure what is going on but glad to hear it wasn't an actual shooting.

Yes they are. I was thinking the same thing after hearing that there were no shots fired. Police arrested some guy dressed as Zorro, supposedly he was an actor returning from an audition. He was traveling in full Zorro costume with a mask...who does that? He was released later, but something just seems off about the whole thing.

You know what it is LA so I'm not surprised. :highly_amused: I for sure would change, these days law enforcement are looking for ANY reason.
