Ron Burgundy Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 A gunman opened fire with an assault rifle at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), killing a security agent, creating scenes of chaos and causing widespread flight disruptions. Panicked travelers on Friday scrambled to escape after the shooter, named as 23-year-old Paul Anthony Ciancia, pulled out the gun and shot his way through a security checkpoint before being stopped in an exchange of fire with police. The victim was the first employee of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to be killed in the line of duty since the TSA was set up in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Seven people were injured, but the lone gunman had lots more ammunition on him when he was arrested, said LA mayor Eric Garcetti.
