LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) — A gunman armed with a semi-automatic rifle opened fire at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, killing a Transportation Security Administration employee and wounding two other people in an attack that frightened passengers and disrupted flights nationwide, officials said.
Los Angeles police Assistant Chief Earl Paysinger said the unidentified suspect, who was apparently injured following an exchange of gunfire with officers, was in custody.
Tim Kauffman, a spokesman for the American Federation of Government Employees in Washington, confirmed Friday that a TSA officer was killed. Kauffman said the union's information comes from their local officials in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Airport Police Chief Patrick Gannon said the gunman pulled what he described as an "assault rifle" from a bag and began firing. "As you can imagine, a large amount of chaos took place in this entire incident," he said.
Some passengers who already had cleared security rushed onto the tarmac to evacuate, while others were locked down in airport restaurants and lounges. The airport was being swept for precautionary measures and the bomb unit was on scene.
Air traffic was affected nationwide as the FAA grounded flights that had not yet departed for LAX.
Witness Brian Keech said he heard "about a dozen gunshots" from inside a security gate at the terminal, which has been evacuated.
Ben Rosen was sitting at the Starbucks in Terminal 3 eating oatmeal at about 9:20 a.m. when he heard gunfire erupt and people start running in all directions and others crouching on the ground. Rosen got on the ground and another passenger said "don't worry we're safe."
Then more gunshots erupted. He grabbed his phone and tried to lie down as flat on the ground as he could. Police showed up with their guns drawn, shouting, "This is not a drill, hands up."
Everyone put their hands up and then were led out of the airport terminal to the international terminal, Rosen said.
As they were led out they saw broken glass from a window that looked like it'd been shot out. Rosen left his bag behind.
"It was scary I've never experienced anything like this before," he said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said a "ground stop" was in affect for all flights heading to Los Angeles, meaning planes in any other airport in the country can't take off for the city, although some flights already in the air were allowed to land.
LAX air traffic controller Michael Foote said some flights were still being allowed to depart.
Foote said his colleagues in the control tower saw passengers spilling from the terminal onto the tarmac, "evacuating the building, getting out as fast as they could." Officers eventually corralled them.
Other travelers described a chaotic scene as airport security staff evacuated terminals, including onto 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, a senior at USC who was heading to San Francisco for a graduate school interview.
Emergency crews responded to a multi-patient incident, Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said. Terminal 3 is home to Virgin America and other airlines.
Airport police say there was a lone shooter at LAX.

TMZ caught up with former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight on Halloween to see what he's been up to and what his plans were for the night.
Suge had some interesting things to say.about Diddy, Interscope Geffen A&M chairman Jimmy Iovine and Tupac Shakur.
Jimmy Iovine
On what his costume would be for Halloween:
I'mma be Jimmy Iovine. You don't know who Jimmy Iovine is? Interscope, American Idol. They're not gonna actually see my face. I'm gonna have a white sheet on my head with the eyes cut out like the Klan. People will probably know I'm him without seeing my face. I'm just a little bit bigger.
On 2Pac getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
I think 2Pac should have a star on there. I mean sh*t, Puffy got a star on there. Only thing he did was dance. So I think 2Pac should definitely have one on there being from the West Coast. They better do it one way or the other. I figure if they don't hurry up and put 2Pac on the Walk of Fame, all the 2Pac fans and all the homies gonna star going down there scratching all the other names off. They might even remove Elvis and put 2Pac there.
Suge's shot at Diddy is not surprising. The two have not seen eye to eye ever since the 2Pac and Biggie Smalls beef.
Jimmy Iovine was running Interscope Records when they stopped distributing Death Row Records in 1998. That was the beginning of the end for Suge's label, which had trouble finding another major distributor because of all the drama surrounding the label. Suge has never forgiven Jimmy for severing ties with him.

Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.
Considered a radio pioneer by many, STAR has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."
STAR & BUC WILD made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 and Power 105 (2000 - 2006) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.
Torain's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat, shot97.com and VH1 (The Gossip Game).
This clip is from STAR's LIVE show (12noon -- 2pm) on http://shot97.com.

Hip Hop is perhaps the most dominant musical genre. Once considered to be a fad that wouldn't stand the test of time, the art form's influence has spread throughout America and countries abroad.
Artists like 50 Cent, Diddy, Dr. Dre and Jay Z have used rap's platform to rise from poverty to become multi-millionaire businessmen whose influences are widespread.
Whoever thought we would see the day when a rapper like Hov would be welcomed into The White House, create the powerhouse imprint Roc Nation, manage many top artists, influence fashion and have a sports agency?
When 50 Cent burst onto the national scene in 2003 rapping about his tough childhood, getting shot 9 times, street wars and drug dealing, did anyone foresee that withing ten years he would be overseeing a massive business empire that includes SK Energy, SMS Audio, G-Unit Records, G-Note Records, Cheetah Vision Films, G-Unit Books, SMS Promotions and more?
VH1 will be airing a four-part documentary starting in February 2014, based on record executive Steve Stoute's 2011 book The Tanning of America. It will examine how Hip Hop became the dominant force that it is today.
Steve Stoute
VH1 is teaming up with acclaimed filmmakers Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman (“Cocaine Cowboys,” “Broke,” “The U”) and famed author, award-winning entrepreneur, advertising executive, and record executive Steve Stoute for a 4-part documentary series based on Stoute’s best-selling book, “The Tanning of America: How Hip-Hop Created a Culture That Rewrote the Rules of the New Economy.” VH1′s “The Tanning of America: One Nation Under Hip Hop” is a thorough examination of hip-hop as a cultural movement, whose profound influence in music, film, television, fashion, business, race relations and politics eventually paved the way for the election of Barack Obama. The 4-part 4-hour series will premiere in February 2014 on VH1.
VH1′s “The Tanning of America: One Nation Under Hip Hop” provides a visual history of the hip-hopification of America – what Stoute calls “tanning” — from “The Jeffersons” to the Fresh Prince; from “Do the Right Thing” to “8 Mile”; from the streets of Compton to Madison Ave; from block parties to the Hamptons; and from rappers to entrepreneurs to icons. The series unfolds in 4 one-hour episodes that together explore history’s pivotal tanning moments from the 1970′s to present day, and show how hip-hop is deeply woven into the American cultural fabric. It’s the history of hip-hop remixed: an epic journey that begins in the Bronx and travels all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Through engaging and intimate first person stories, “Tanning” takes viewers where they’ve never been before: inside a steamy Madison Square Garden, when Russell Simmons cut a deal with Adidas sneakers during a Run DMC concert…inside the Harvard dorm room where two white Jewish kids decide to start The Source magazine…inside the car of fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger, as he drives through the streets of Harlem finding inspiration in baggy jeans… to the streets of Paris as Diddy takes over Europe for a Vogue fashion shoot… to a New York music studio where Mariah Carey collaborates with O.D.B, forever fusing pop and hip hop; and with Dr Dre as he first hears a rapper who calls himself Eminem.
Over the last three decades, hip-hop culture has been transformed from an underground urban movement to mass culture, permeating virtually every aspect of American life: the music we listen to, the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the cars we drive. Hip-hop has done more to erase perceptions about racial distinctions for the generations that grew up exposed to it than any other force since the Civil Rights Movement. There’s now a whole generation of Americans who grew up immersed in this culture that are, for all intents and purposes, colorblind. This is the true story of that evolution.
VH1′s “The Tanning of America: One Nation Under Hip Hop” features never-seen-before footage and interviews from numerous pop culture icons and entertainment personalities in America: Diddy, Dr Dre, Mariah Carey, Will.i.am, Russell Simmons, Pharrell, Nas, Reverend Run, Rick Rubin, Fab 5 Freddy, Jimmy Iovine, Al Sharpton, Cory Booker, Brett Ratner, Brian Grazer, Tommy Hilfiger, Ron Howard, Steve Stoute and many more.
“The Tanning of America: One Nation Under Hip Hop” is produced by Rakontur, with Billy Corben directing and Alfred Spellman producing. Steve Stoute is an executive producer on the project. Executive producing for VH1 are Susan Levison, Ben Zurier, Shelly Tatro, Brad Abramson and Stephen Mintz.
VH1′s Emmy Award winning Rock Docs are feature-length documentaries that tell unique stories of artists and music from a wide range of genres, styles and musical perspectives.

Serial-Killer: “a person who attacks and kills victims one by one in a series of incidents.” When B-Real, the front-man of the legendary hip hop group Cypress Hill conceptualized his next group effort, he envisioned putting together a team of emcees with the sole purpose of murdering every track and any competition. The first member he reached out to was fellow West Coast legend Xzibit, known for his brash vocals and hard hitting lyrics. At the time the two artists were sharing a studio in Los Angeles and were both working with an up and coming emcee by the name of Demrick. With all three members intact the trio went to work on what would be their first project, "Serial Killers Vol. 1".
