Outside the terminal then I presume?
*edit looks like it was inside at a security checkpoint. Shooter shot and secured, no reports of anyone dead so far.

(cnn) -- a suspect has been shot and is in police custody after friday's shooting at los angeles international airport, a law enforcement source close to the investigation tells cnn's miguel marquez.
A person with a firearm at the airport approached a checkpoint at terminal 3 and opened fire friday morning at a transportation security administration agent, a former los angeles police department ranking officer who was at the scene told cnn.
Witness: Luggage and mayhem everywhere
police: Shots fired at lax airport
reports of gunfire friday morning prompted evacuations of portions of lax and led to a "ground stop" for arriving planes, said police and the federal aviation administration.
Airport officials said a police incident began about 9:30 a.m. At terminal 3 at lax, airport spokeswoman nancy suey castles said.
Transportation security administration:
Passenger robert perez, who was getting ready to fly virgin air, was taking a nap in the terminal when panic erupted, he told cnn affiliate kcal/kcbs.
"i heard a popping sound, and everybody was diving for cover," perez told the station. "the tsa said there was a shooting in the terminal and evacuate the building."
at least 100 people came down a staircase. "everybody started to panic," perez said.
Fox sports national columnist bill reiter was also at the airport during the gunfire. "after the initial burst of gunfire and hiding, people started jumping over one another, jumping off chairs, pushing each other. Chaos & fear," he said on his twitter account.
The passengers were directed to board a bus and were taken to a smaller terminal, perez told the affiliate.
Alex neumann was at a food court, waiting to travel to miami, when the incident unfolded. He said terminal 2 was put into lockdown.
"people were running and people getting knocked down. There was luggage everywhere," neumann told cnn. "mayhem is the best i can describe it."
several police officers moved about the airport with guns drawn, he said.
The los angeles fire department is assisting with a "multi-patient" incident at los angeles international airport, the department said friday on twitter.
Firefighters were laying down tarps on the street at the airport, which appeared to be triage tarps. Several ambulances were at the airport, and at least one person was loaded into an ambulance.
The area around the airport was jammed with cars as police shut down access to the airport friday morning.

LAX Evacuated, Suspect in Custody

LOS ANGELES — Shots were fired Friday at Los Angeles International Airport, prompting authorities to evacuate a terminal and stop flights headed for the city from taking off from other airports.
The FBI said gunshots were reported at Terminal 3 at around 9:30 a.m.
There was no immediate word of any injuries, but television images showed two people being wheeled away by firefighters. Triage stations also were seen.
Witness Brian Keech told The Associated Press he heard “about a dozen gunshots” from inside a security gate at the terminal, which has been evacuated.
The FAA said a “ground stop” was in effect for all flights heading to Los Angeles, meaning planes in any other airport in the country can’t take off for the city.

1. Dude knew how to get a rifle in to the airport
2. He intentionally avoided non-tsa employees
Sounds to me like this dude is pissed at the TSA. I wonder if he was one of the people that got let go during the whole re-organization and the new rules pushed through in regards to citizenship.
