FLINT, MI -- The Federal Bureau of Investigation says it is too soon to call the knife attack on a police officer at Bishop Airport today an act of terrorism.

"We are aware of reports that the attacker made statements immediately prior to or while attacking the officer, but it is too early to determine the nature of these alleged statements or whether or not this was an act of terrorism," the FBI said in a statement.
