Gunman opens fire at LAX, killing TSA worker and wounding others - U.S. News

A man carrying anti-government material and an assault rifle shot his way through security at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, killing one Transportation Security Administration worker, wounding as many as three others and sending terrified travelers diving for cover and fleeing onto the tarmac, authorities and witnesses said.
The gunman, identified by law-enforcement officials as 23-year-old Paul Anthony Ciancia, was shot by law enforcement and taken into custody in critical condition. The motive is not clear but it's believed he had anti-government views based on written materials he was carrying, the officials said.
Federal officials told NBC News it was unclear whether Ciancia was targeting the TSA or was trying to shoot his way through to get further into the airport. But one witness said the shooter, who calmly walking through the terminal with his weapon, approached him with a one-word question.

Those two categories are not mutually exclusive.

So far, there have been no liberals calling for gun control in response to this event.

Yet in this thread there have been a number of hysterical conservatives preemptively getting themselves worked up defending themselves from imaginary attacks.

Wrong...again.

Piers Morgan tweets today:
So many horrible shooting incidents in America in recent days. When will someone, anyone, at least TRY and stem the endless gun death?

Does it hurt to always be so damn wrong???

By the way LATIMES is calling it a high powered weapon. ar platform rifles are 223 556 which is not a high power round it's the same caliber as a 22.

I know. Apparently the crazy fucker didn't read the "no weapons" sign at the door. Shocking.

One TSA Agent murdered, another (possibly two others) wounded.

Since the shooter was using an assault rife, he was probably intending to shoot a lot more people.

gun free zone in a gun restrictive state go figure.

That's because no one at the LA Times has a clue about what constitutes a high power weapon...or an 'assault rifle' for that matter. But hey, if it gets the base riled up and sells newspapers, who cares about facts???

Actually, he was not using an assault rifle, but don't let facts get in the way of your overwhelming bias.
