'The police evacuated travelers from two terminals at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday night and closed part of a major highway that runs near it after unconfirmed reports of gunfire at the airport spread panic there, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said.

Joe Pentangelo, the spokesman, said in an email that reports of shooting inside the terminal began arriving around 9:30 p.m. But he could not confirm if any shooting had actually taken place.'>>>
