LOS ANGELES (INTELLIHUB) — Just after 9am a gunman open-fired inside LAX’s Terminal 3 Friday, releasing a melee of flying lead as one TSA agent and a few other people have been reported to be struck and wounded.
“The shooter approached the checkpoint and fired the rifle at a TSA agent”, reported CNN live on air.
Witnesses at the scene say the FBI and law enforcement officials are present and are now “evacuating” parts of the terminal as victims have been seen being transported away in busses. It remains unclear if there are more shooters at this time as police continue to scour the facility.
One tweet reads:
It has been reported that the shooter was wielding a rifle.
Law enforcement teams are currently combing the airport. 
As of 10:30am the “Bomb Squad” can not make it into the airport due to blockage by traffic.
We will be updating this article as we receive new information.
