If he was a US soldier, and shooting but not saying anything, I think he might just be mentally ill---not a terrorist, per se. Although what he did was actually terrorism. I just think he would have been saying what his 'cause' was when he was shooting.

Police activity on rooftop of garage.

I think these cops may be creating more panic than they are preventing........................

Why are the people walking along the railroad tracks with their hands up?

a witness to the shootings said a man, wearing a Star Wars T-shirt, walked into the baggage claim area of Terminal 2 and opened fire with a single handgun. The man said nothing as we he went through three magazines before giving up and sprawling spread-eagle on the flood as a police officer took him into custody. “He had no intention of escaping.”

Flights are landing on Runway 10 but they are being held away from the gates. Airborne flights that were within about 50 miles of Fort Lauderdale airport will be landing at the airport.

Other airborne flights that are headed to Fort Lauderdale will be delayed or diverted to other airports.

Flights destined for Fort Lauderdale that haven't departed will be held on the ground at the origination airport.

Travelers headed to Fort Lauderdale were advised to check with their air carriers.

TSA UPDATE: just said there is STILL an active shooter and to shelter in place!

(From Fox News)

 

[steelman]

Shepard Smith just reported that there is talk of another gunman-----a second gunman-----TSA just confirmed. Seems to be a lot of confusion if this is a new warning or if it is connected to the first one.

Fox News national.

BSO: Active search, but unconfirmed reports of a 2nd shooter.

Terminal 2 is home to departures and arrivals for Delta and Air Canada.

RSBM

Then this man (or men) have a message that they want to be heard - otherwise they would have resisted and been killed by LE. Will be interesting to hear what this message is.

Possible 2nd shooter being handcuffed. Per CNN

Lots of confusion right now........................starting to sound like we have too many chiefs and not enough Indians running this show.

 

[gitana1]

The mayor clarified only one shooter. 5 dead. 13 taken to hospitals.

 

[Greater Than]

TSA is saying there is, in fact, an active shooter.
