Man shot by police at Miami airport amid frenzied Irma evacuation

Police shot and wounded a knife-wielding man who entered a restricted area of Miami’s airport and then got onto the tarmac Thursday, another worry for antsy travelers fleeing Hurricane Irma.

The incident began to unfold around 8:30 p.m., a hectic day for the airport after half a million people were ordered to evacuate South Florida.

Police received a call about a white man “acting erratically,” according to a news release from the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Officers from the department’s incident containment team responded to the area in Terminal J, which is mostly used for international flights.
