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, was reportedly also injured. The suspect is in custody, according to reports.

This is a sad incident, and I mean no disrespect when I say this. U.S government leaders are going to use this as another reason to get rid of assault rifles. Do you think that maybe the government is hiring these people to do this so they can have reason to ban rifles? Like I said, this is a sad incident and I mean no disrespect to the victims.

I wonder what the motive(s) for this attack was/were? That's what I really want to know. 

Only targeting TSA-agents, maybe some disgruntled passenger. Not far fetched, maybe something snapped.

I know at one point the TSA was also the most despised organization. Although I think the NSA has taken the crown with recent events.

Can we all please stay on topic here? Iconography already stated this is not a debate.

most likely the same motive the last 3-4 mainstream shooters had, their lives sucked so they wanted to make people feel as bad as they did, was probably disgruntled and complaining about something that's really little and unnecessary, not starting a debate or anything but who else would bet money that politics is gonna get involved? you know how the politicians just love to talk about guns!

Confirmed:

TSA Agent shot, has died. Apparently the suspect walked into the terminal, pulled out a semi-automatic weapon and opened fire. 

 

Not Confirmed:

Status of the gunman (dead, alive, wounded.. etc) Also, several LAX police officers engaged the suspect in a terminal and "stopped the threat." No word yet on his condition. It's currently a FUBAR situation for sure.
