Man fired shots, then shot himself at Bush Intercontinental Airport

HOUSTON—A man shot himself at Bush Intercontinental Airport in north Houston early Thursday afternoon, the Houston Police Department confirmed with KHOU 11 News.

The suspect walked into the ticket area inside Terminal B around 1:35 p.m. and fired at least two shots into the air with an AR-15 rifle, according to witnesses.

A McDonald’s employee who works at the airport saw the whole thing.

"As soon as he walked in, he just automatically started shooting quickly," said the employee named Kendra Carrizales. "And we hear two shots and we just automatically started running. We ran all the way to the back." 

The HPD source said an air marshal fired at the suspect, but missed. The man then pulled out a pistol and shot himself, the captain said.

But if we see a guy casually walking through the JCPenneys with an AR-15, we shouldn't be concerned. Tommy_Carcetti May 2013 #3

Right? He's just exercising his 2nd Amendment Rights.

Bizarre.

Maybe had a bad day...I agree caring an AR-15 around JC Penneys is an indicator of something and I don't mean that in a positive way.
