Three people, including an alleged gunman, have been injured in a shooting at Los Angeles International Airport.

Officials say the alleged shooter has been taken into custody.

The incident was reported after 9.30am local time

Witness Brian Keech said he heard "about a dozen gunshots" from inside the security gate at Terminal 3.

US media reports say the gunman was seen carrying a rifle.

One passenger told a local television station he saw a man on the ground surrounded by police with guns drawn.

Authorities evacuated the terminal and the Federal Aviation Administration said a "ground stop" was in effect for all flights heading to Los Angeles.

Aerial footage showed police surrounding the terminal and passengers fleeing the area.

NBC in Los Angeles reported at least one of those injured was a Transportation Security Administration employee.

The conditions of those injured was not immediately known.

Tory Belleci, of television's MythBusters, was tweeting and posting pictures from inside the airport.

"Heard gun shots then everyone starting running for the door," he wrote.

"Eye witness said the shooter had an assault rifle."

Travelers described a chaotic scene as airport security staff evacuated terminals and rushed them outside to the tarmac.

Hundreds of people remained gathered outside next to airplanes as authorities investigated what happened.

"People started saying there's a shooter, there's a shooter," said Natalie Morin, who was heading to San Francisco for a graduate school interview.

The White House said President Barack Obama has been briefed on the incident

Yes 23 years old Paul Ciancia


Dead Cop now , he had a note saying he wanted to kill TSA Officers and Pigs (code for cops)
[The man who died was named as 39-year-old Gerardo I. Hernandez - the first TSA officer killed in the line of duty in the 12-year history of the agency, founded in the aftermath of 9/11.]




[The suspect has been identified as 23-year-old Paul Ciancia, who police have said appeared to have a grudge against security services.

His father, who has the same name, called his local police chief around the time of the shooting to report his son had sent the text and he needed to find him, police said.

The elder Paul Ciancia, from Pennsville, New Jersey, telephoned Allen Cummings, telling him one of his children had received the message from the younger Ciancia "in reference to him taking his own life".

At the time, the 23-year-old man was carrying out his shooting using a semi-automatic rifle, authorities said.]

It's not surprising, these people that are obsessed with the TSA and "the new world order" ohh they're building FEMA camps!! they really are nuts.

These people get lost in this whole world of David Icke and Alex Jones, 9/11 conspiracies, HAARP, blah blah spend all their time on the internet getting all worked up and paranoid.
