Police Chief in LAX shooting needs to be educated by gun experts.


The episode caused what airport police Chief Patrick Gannon, who had said the shooter used an "assault rifle," described as a "large amount of chaos." People ran for their lives and took shelter wherever they could, as authorities pursued the gunman.
