Emergency crews were called to a fire in the facility's basement around 5:40 a.m., according to Aurora Police Sgt. Dan Ferrelli, a department spokesman. They found a man there with "self-inflicted non-gunshot" wounds and transported him to a hospital, Ferrelli said.
The man is not an air traffic controller or FAA manager, according to an FAA source at the facility.
The source, who received a briefing from officials, said it appears the injured person is a contractor. "He is not a FAA employee,'' the source said.
A vehicle in the facility's parking lot that is believed to have been used by the man has been taped off by authorities, another source said.
As per usual, authorities wouldn't say if the fire was set.
Aviation ping.

Where is John McLain (NYPD) when you need him
I.e. key card employee access/armed security guards at entry points/video surveillance/employees go thru a real background check/etc.
OK, everybody, close your eyes and repeat after me, “ISIS poses no threat to us on US soil.” There, feel better? Now, back to our regular programming. /s
…there is no terrorist act. This is a local issue with a contract employee and nothing else.
I’ve always been concerned about charter flights with larger planes into smaller airports during football season in a place like Iowa City. You have relatively large planes flying football teams into smaller college towns that have airports with little security. Pretty easy for a group to overtake one of those small town airports and fly a plane into a stadium.

Did he try to cut his own head off? Stab himself in the chest? Inquiring minds want to know!
The stock market does not see this as a problem. Fake as it is.
When I read this headline the first thought that popped into my head was Atlas Shrugged.
And the man around the 'fire' stabs himself repeatedly.
And the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives shows up first.
Nope. Definitely no terrorism here. Rule that one out right away.
Amish?
