A gunman is in custody after going on a shooting spree at the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport. One airport spokeman has claimed that 5 five people have been killed and six more have been injured.
The shooter reportedly did not breech TSA security as the incident occured at Terminal 2 baggage claim area in the lower level of the airport.
The motive for the shooting is unknown at this time. One witness states that the gunman was wearing some sort of uniform and was shouting “I’m not Jewish. I’m not Jewish”.
Hundreds of passengers and airport workers could be seen gathering and evacuating via the tarmac.
The airport has four terminals and serves more than 73,000 travelers every day. It ranks 21st in the U.S. in total passenger traffic, with more than 650 commercial flights a day.
Florida Governor Rick Scott’s office said the governor was en route to Fort Lauderdale to be briefed by law enforcement, but could not confirm information on fatalities, injuries or motive.

The Broward County Sheriff confirmed the shooting at the airport, saying multiple people are dead and one subject is in custody.

Here we go again , time to end this c**p
I agree totally!!!
Here is what gets me … a standard 9mm has a 10 round clip , 1 in chamber makes 11 , I read that he also had an extra clip …thats 21 rounds , and unless he is a PERFECT shot with every round that is 21 hits… already saw where the death toll is at 5 or 6 and injured was 8-9 and then he gives up wothout a fight ??? I call BS … if it is real and I was one of the 1st cops on the scene then he would have got a couple rounds in him …
This can’t be true because an airport is a GUN FREE ZONE !
