Shooting at LAX, several injured....

[Sabertooth]

KABC 7 ... LAX spokeswoman... Joint Law Enforcement Command briefing upcoming...

All terminals besides Bradley operating normally, south terminal experiencing delays... some incoming flights being diverted to other terminals...

All outgoing flights from Bradley postponed...

FBI now saying "not terrorist related."

[Brad’s Gramma]

The radio didn't say 3, JUST NOW, but 2....hhhhmmmmm, 2 Israeli spokesmen saying it IS terrorism. Per KRLA.

[Howlin]

Sid, is that you? :-)

[big'ol_freeper]

They need to clear this up real quick because I am leaving to go to watch a ballgame at Ripken Stadium in an hour for another dose of Cal's shameless self promotion.

[Richard Kimball]

Oh give the media a break .. they never listen to the news they are reporting

Especially when they're bending over forwards to not report anything that doesn't fit the Dem agenda.

[floriduh voter]

No, that's southwest airlines who fired two drunken pilots. "It's okay to fly, folks, nothing to see here." Whatever the official line is FV states that the LAX incident IS TERRORISM.

True, I think the knuckleheads will have a hard time trying to equal the Sept. 11 attack, but that won't keep them from trying smaller attacks. Shoebomber type stuff, mostly whackjobs who they can motivate into doing something stupid by themselves.

[Brad’s Gramma]

The lights were on at the airport giving the shooter a clear line of sight on his targets. lol

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Aquinasfan]

Gee, in Israel the terrorists don't just use bombs. They shoot into houses, they shoot into market places, they shoot at Bat Mitzvahs, they just poisoned the water supply into a fish farm. These experts really need to get a clue.

And on top of that it's El Al fer crying out loud. Assume terrorism until proven otherwise. Sheesh.

You have to credit whoever took out the gunman. Must have been Israeli or El Al security.

Some Israeli rep said that El Al has plain clothes security. That would explain it.

Better take their guns away. /sarcasm>

Great link. This is why CNN and MSNBC messing with the marriage of scag Roberts will become dodo birds.

They can't report, they have agendas to run. If the news doesn't make their agenda goals, they forget it and make up news.

I don't even bother to go to my tv set when something like this happens.

I come to Free Republic for reality and the links that good Freepers like you provide us.

Kudos!

[Inspectorette]

Me thinks the networks don't want this to be terrorism..

Sounds like the law enforcement authorities don't either. Also, Cavuto reported that the White House has "no comment".

[petuniasevan]

CNN's female commentator expressed dismay at the idea that El Al had armed security guards in the airport

She was obviously disappointed that the carnage wasn't greater.
Reminds me of "Dirty Laundry"...

The bubbleheaded bleach blonde comes on at five
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die - give me dirty laundry

[Sabertooth]

KABC 7 ... 3 people now confirmed dead, including shooter

[Dog]

Check to see if that was one of the stadiums al-qaeda downloaded off the internet..........

Damn I am to young to be this cynical.....:-)

[I15_To_ZZYZX_Road]

FBI just got on lax police freq. Wants all witnesses to be escorted to "certain area" so they can interview them.
Also, for people flying out of lax all terminals are open except bradly and term 5. I don't know if this means you can drive into airport area.

[EggsAckley]

that's southwest airlines who fired two drunken pilots

Wrong, it was America West Airlines......

[Catspaw]

No grassy knoll for you. It's just that unless law enforcement can move at the speed of light, their investigation is just beginning. They may have an ID and they may be questioning witnesses, but that's about all they have right now. There hasn't been enough time to do a background check on the shooter, to interview friends & neighbors, etc. They just don't know enough, and they certainly can't eliminate anything.

[big'ol_freeper]

Let em try...the stadium has excellent fields of view and I have good shot lines from my seats.

CNN's female commentator expressed dismay at the idea that El Al had armed security guards in the airport

Wow, how . . . predictable.

I'd rather fly El Al than any other airline . . . BECAUSE they know how to protect their passengers and crew.
