Dang! Prayers up for those involved.  :0001:

Guess we'll have to wait for more details before we can jump to conclusions.

"Everything you see on the news is happening outside my window," she said. "I am luckily on the plane and they said we are right now the safest people at the airport."

Don't know that I agree with you there, Norm.

@mystery-ak

Been watching Shep/Fox News, since this started.  That poor man/wife/mother-in-law, forced to get on the floor and stay there during this second alarm, him talking to Shep all the time.  You could hear the fear in his voice.  Sheriff still saying 5 dead.

Just now, 2:16, central time, a man handcuffed in terminal one.

@mystery-ak

We are not safe anywhere in this country anymore.  I traveled to many countries without fear at all.  The last time I flew was in 2000, then 2001, the towers fell and air travel was never the same after that.  Airports are not safe, not safe in your church, not safe anywhere.  I live 20 minutes from Garland, TX, (used to be a counselor in those schools), and that is where one cop killed the terrorists about to kill people attending the art show of Mohammad.

Always be aware of your surroundings, even going to the grocery.  Our country is not safe.  These people at the airport today were just living their lives and now they are dead.

News conference is on.

Presser...looks like there was only one incident in the baggage area..the last several reports of an active shooter was probably just panic
