“They tracked the individual through the airport and engaged him in gunfire in Terminal 3 and were able to successfully take him into custody,” LAX Airport Police Chief Patrick Gannon said at a press conference. “We believe, at this point, that there was a lone shooter. That he was the only person armed in this incident.”
Jim Featherstone, acting Los Angeles Fire Chief, added that officials have treated seven patients and transported six to area hospitals.
FBI Agent David Bowdich said that authorities do not believe there are any other potential suspects on the scene. "As we stand right now, there is only one individual we know of as the active shooter," Gannon added.
NBC News and ABC News are reporting that one TSA agent was killed in the incident and that a second agent was wounded in the leg. A third individual, possibly the gunman, also was reportedly injured. The suspect is in custody, according to reports; however, authorities declined to provide any information on the identities or conditions of those wounded, and they provided no information on the condition of the shooter.
