Convicted felon arrested at Atlanta airport after alleged mass shooting threat: Report

A Georgia man was arrested Monday morning at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport after allegedly threatening to open fire at one of the nation’s busiest travel hubs.

Atlanta police said 49-year-old Billy Joe Cagle faces charges including terroristic threats, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
 
Cartersville police said Cagle’s family alerted them after seeing him livestream on social media, saying he was heading to the airport to "shoot it up."

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens praised the family and police response, saying, "Twenty-seven or more lives could have been lost today because an individual came into Hartsfield-Jackson, and after being reported coming out of Cartersville, Georgia, that had mental challenges. This individual, thankfully, his family went to the Cartersville police and shared with them what was going on, and they alerted APD, and the APD and airport were aware, and this crisis was averted."

Reasoning like a modern federal judge, I blame the airlines for creating the situation.  If they didn't transport so many people in and out, the perp wouldn't have had a crowd to try and shoot.  I would order the airport closed until the airlines come up with a plan to keep everyone safer and order the police to apologize for arresting him.
