Police have responded to a shooting inside Fort Lauderdale / Hollywood International Airport Friday afternoon.

Details have not been confirmed by police, but early reports indicate as many as seven people were shot. Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, who was traveling from the airport, tweeted out following the incident:

Yeah, it took him awhile to even ask for a description and never once has asked his ethnicity......wearing Star Wars T-shirt, 30s, 5 10 - 6’.

Now something else going on . . . Caller just hit the floor

When the Trumps go to Mar-a-lago, do they fly to MIA, FLL or PBI? This is an attempt to terrorize THEM!

PBI is vastly closer to Palm Beach than are the other two. In fact, departures from PBI pass right over Mar-a-lago. (Whether this will be true when the POTUS-to-be is present, I don't know.) Many years ago, Trump gained some negative publicity by trying to get the airport moved farther west, so the noise from the planes wouldn't disturb his sleep. He failed in this attempt, and in the process struck many people (including me) as being arrogant and elitist.

Had you told me back then that, something like 20 years later, I would be voting for Trump to be president -- and thrilled when he won -- I would have laughed in your face.

That’s a great hospital minutes from the airport.
Been through the ER dozens of times with family, they are awesome.

May God Bless the hands of the BGH surgeons and staff as they fight to save these innocent victims.

This is nuts.

A passenger on CNN said they are rushing outside a 2nd time.

[proud American in Canada]

Clearly the Russians or someone offended by the prospect of a scary Trumph presidency. ;)
