Shots were fired near a ticket counter at Houston's largest airport on Thursday, and the man who was killed after being confronted by a law enforcement official.
It's unclear if the man fatally shot himself or was killed by a Homeland Security agent who had confronted him, said Houston police spokesman Kese Smith. The man's name was not released by police, but they said he was about 30-years-old.
The agent, who was in his office, came out and confronted the man, telling him to drop his weapon, but the man refused, police said.
"The suspect then turned toward the special agent. The special agent, fearing for his safety and all the passengers in the terminal, discharged his weapon at the same time it appears the suspect may have shot himself," Smith said....

HOUSTON — A gunman walked into Bush Intercontinental Airport with an AR-15 and a handgun Thursday and fired at least two shots before killing himself. It happened in the ticket area inside Terminal B around 1:35 p.m.The suspect has been identified as 29-year-old Carnell Moore of Beaumont.
He left behind a suicide note that said he had a "monster within" and wanted the cops to take care of it. The note said Moore had a bigger plan, but decided to show mercy on others.
Moore posted two cryptic messages on his Facebook wall Wednesday: "This Life Will Crash Tomorrow!" and "I recently had the chance of staring death in the face, and she was beautiful."

Just shooting himself, it doesn't sound like he was a jihadist.
suicide by cop?
He was not carrying any ID.
Cue the Twilight Zone music.
Exactly what we were taught to say by our Texas Concealed Handgun License class instructor.
Then you tell the nice police that you require immediate medical attention and want to go to a hospital emergency room. Once there, you call your lawyer ... and between the time you request medical assistance from the police and the time your lawyer arrives, you say absolutely nothing!
The guy was probably schizophrenic with multiple personality disorder.
The bad guy with a gun was stopped by the good guy with a gun.

An airport is a good place to shoot innocents as the government had disarmed the travelers.
Pretty sad. Thankfully, no one else was hurt. But it shows a huge flaw. The time to be checking people is BEFORE they get in the terminal. I’m always watching people and a bit nervous waiting in those lines for screening...and forget baggage collection..carry on only for me.
