Sheriff Newell Normand identified the man involved at Richard White, 63, of Kenner.
Normand said White sprayed a TSA officer with a can of wasp spray, breached a security checkpoint and sprayed a second TSA agent in the face, then struck another agent with a machete. That officer defended himself by using a piece of luggage.
A chase ensued, with White pursuing that agent. The officer called for assistance, and another officer fired three times, striking White in the chest, the thigh and the face.
A bystander suffered a graze wound to the arm. Normand said a few others sustained minor wounds in the chaos.
