LAX Shooter Identified, "Wanted To Kill TSA And Pigs"
Contrary to initial reports that the shooter was an off-duty NSA agent, subsequent updates have revealed that the LAX shooter, who reportedly is still dead, although unclear if he was killed before or after he was in police custody, as Paul Anthony Ciancia, a 23-year-old who was either a Los Angeles native, or from Pennsville, N.J. Additionally, we have learned that according to a law enforcement official, who was briefed at LAX on the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly, said the gunman was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag containing a hand-written note that said he "wanted to kill TSA and pigs." The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. Considering the accuracy with which this news event has been broken, most of it relying on unsubstantiated and often times fake Twitter sources (some had reported earlier, falsely, that the former NSA chief had been shot as well), we won't be surprised if this story were to change a few more times.
A law enforcement official told the The Associated Press that the suspect in the Los Angeles airport shooting is a 23-year-old man from New Jersey who wrote a rant about killing Transportation Safety Administration workers.
A law enforcement official, who was briefed at LAX on the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly, said the gunman was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag containing a hand-written note that said he "wanted to kill TSA and pigs." The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
The official identified him as Paul Ciancia. A second law enforcement official confirmed the identity, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The gunfire erupted around 9:30 a.m. inside the terminal that houses airlines such as Allegiant Air, Frontier, Spirit, Virgin America and JetBlue. Patrick Gannon, chief of the Airport Police Department, said the suspect walked into the airport, pulled an assault rifle out of a bag and started shooting.
"He proceeded up into the screening area where TSA screeners are and continued shooting,'' Gannon said, adding that the gunman "went past the screeners and back into the terminal itself.''
Gannon said police pursued the gunman, who was shot and taken into custody inside the terminal. The gunman's condition was not immediately known.
Interim Los Angeles Fire Chief Jim Featherstone said paramedics treated seven people at the airport, and six were taken to area hospitals. One person apparently declined to be transported, fire officials said.
Officials at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center said it was treating three male patients, one in critical condition and two in fair condition. At least two other patients were believed to be at Harbor UCLA Medical Center, but their conditions were not immediately known. News media outlets reported that one patient who was taken to Harbor UCLA had died.
Multiple media outlets, citing unnamed sources, reported that one TSA agent was killed in the gunfire, but police would not confirm the reports.
The gunman was described by some witnesses as a young white male. Police and fire officials said they could not confirm reports that the gunman was an off-duty TSA agent.
Some initial reports indicated that a second suspect had been arrested, but Gannon said, "This was a lone shooter,'' and the gunman "was the only person that was armed in this incident.''
David Bowdich, FBI special agent in charge, declined to provide any details of the investigation, but said, "At this point, we do not see any additional threats here at the airport.''
Aside from the alleged note, the shooter's motives are unclear as of yet.

Update: that was quick - one has to love the social media.
Correction: LAX gunman NOT killed by law enforcement. Gunman is in custody.

An anonymous government official, eh? Seems legit.
Apparently they found a full confession and pristine passport of the guy at his house The house itself burned to the ground and luckily the letter and passport were unharmed.
Looks like TSA will get the guns they have been asking for. "What we need is a civilian army......"
I wouldn't have believed it, but since he wanted to kill pigs, it must be true. Luckily our gubbiment loves us and will not delay getting in front of a microphone to spout their rhetoric and push some agenda that many people will instantly believe makes us all safer. Hooray!
Shoulda been NSA>TSA but what's a consonent between domestic terrorists?
TSA and pigs? I can dig that.
I've got dibs on calling "bullshit".....
Turns out LAX SHOOTER WANTED TO KILL "MYTHBUSTERS" and wasn't upset about the government cutting 6% of his livestock feed (self feed):
http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/11/01/mythbusters-lax-shooting/
We need MOAR mythbusters.
Like the myths of the last 4 "episodes". Aurora, Sandy Hook, Boston, DC.
All conveniently timed to distract, deflect and "LEGISLATE" under the covers.
I've been saying "Fast and Furious" was a PROGRESSIVE thing since the get go.
THis is just today's installment.
Saul Alinsky as Heisenberg with legions of customer/zombies.
Pass it on.
edit: Forgot about Dorner. Hard to keep track. All by design.
By design, indeed.

So will they cordon it off and demolish it?
Sign those those non-disclosures, TSA "shovel-ready" MF'ers.
twist after twist after twist...
new players after players after players...
what a script, "no end" in sight...holli-wand style.
None of this really happened, because the firearm he allegedly used has been illegal in California since 2000.
Since the weapon he was alleged to have used was illegal, clearly this whole "shooting" is merely the figment of someone's imagination.
[/sarc off]
Quite bizarrely, none of the security cameras were working that day ... wait? What? No, I was asleep, I didn't say anything ... 6 years later 3 frames were released, none of which had any incriminating signs ... what? No, I must have fallen asleep at the keyboard again ...
Of course it didn't happen. Because if 100 people in LA county or NYC woke up one morning and decided that they "weren't going to take it anymore" then they could no longer maintain the Illusion of Control, at least not without another really large dose of stupid pills for the masses. But based on this fork test, she's not quite done yet...
I love the term "pig". Reminds me of the classic Sly Stallone movie Cobra.
Not sure what brought it up last week but the word "pig" came up and I told my teenage kid that no one uses that term anymore. I was shocked when I read that this 23 yr old used the term. Someone might want to tell the script writers that it isn't the late 70's anymore. Well maybe the economy is.
Yup, Prision Planet reported earlier that TSA is looking to go armed-
http://www.infowars.com/is-homeland-security-set-to-arm-tsa-agents/
Don't shoot 'til you see the blue of their polyester!
"It is safer if you don't have any guns. It is safer if we have guns." Safer for who, buddy? Funny how the truth slips out when they're pushed.
Do 23 yr olds today still use 1970s slang for cops?
Or more simply, maybe the note writer did.
I completely agree. The term hasn't been used for 30 years.
"I want to kill, kill, kill, kill, KILL!!!"
"Son... you're our boy."
. . . until they found out about that darn littering charge.
Am I the only person who couldn't get anything I wanted at Alice's Restaurant? Went there asking that my inalienable Constituationally protected rights be reinstated. I couldn't understand what they were saying over all the laughter.
Who was laughing, the father-rapers or the mother-stabbers?
women, kids, houses and villages..
pigs.. looks like we got us a retro-revival.
And they all slid down next to me on the bench there, and we had a great time...
soon we'l have his father on teevee saying my son was a baptist and never carried a gun and called people pigs; and that this was a set up.
Maybe the son took out a life insurance which covered temporary fits of madness; in which case the family can stop living off food stamps.
It's the stuff to warrant a mystery book on a deranged cookie who became a fall guy spook called Cia n Cia : the man who shot liberty TSa thinking he was Snowden shooting the NSa! Man was he confused!
FYI "pigs" was 1970s slang for police.
I guess all 23 year olds still use it.
Maybe he was an albino Islamic Fundamentalist........
That's right. "Off the pigs!" was the ghetto railing cry in the late 60s and early 70s. It looks like this note found was probably written by someone(some cop) in his sixties.
Paul Anthony Ciancia
"CIA N CIA" creepy last name.
i heard that he entered LAX, (& they don't call it that for nothin), with only a 3D printer of which he just printed off a nice new Glock 36 in the mens restroom before the rampage began. Guns don't kill, but 3D printers do. all of this is unconfirmed of course, and you guys don't know me either, right?
cia n cia
sounds about right
Beat me to it!
Thanks now I don't feel so weird that that was my first thought too!
Kind of like 1-800-FUCK-YOU, they are not only not bothering to hide it anymore, they are mocking us.
LOL, they had a placeholder in the "leaked report" that was supposed to have a real made up name inserted.
I don't know about you, but I love the play on words with all of these incidents. Anyone remember Droner.... er, I mean Dorner?
that's crazy; what're they doing, making jokes, now?
hey, THEY gotta take the sheeple eyeballs off the ACA debacle now don't they. let's get everybody worked up on all of these shootings in the MSM lately and "ban them thar guns".........
I know that this is the wrong forum for this but...
His last name is/was CIA n CIA?
great minds
"Are you [really] smarter than a 5th grader?"
depends on the 5th grader :/
sounds like a spooky team of Starsky and Hutch, all in one, gone double dutch.
Too much imported Indian whiskey along with that gun?
They should do an alcotest and rectal analysis on his dead body like they did for JFK; only they managed to lose his brain in the process. How you can lose a man's brain when you search his ass is beyond me.
You never know what goes on in a police lab; just look at Dexter.
Tragic loss of innocents; I'm forgetting the essential.
hmmm, i concur, back to a normal routine. 1/1000000 chance of danger. anyways,cant even carry in an airport-fuken eh...
i smell bacon!
Take your hand off the handle of the cast iron skillet ...
Should have been pigs, and TSA.
Everyone knows how smart pigs are.
Media keeps saying that the tsa agent was killed "in the line of duty"
What duty?
mid-grope of a 4-year old boy who looked like trouble. Son, are those underoos? CODE 1 CODE 1!
.
I think they mean the TSA agent was "killed in a line of doody", because he was shitting himself as he attempted to flee.
Here we go... domestic terrorism! The perfect excuse to ratchet up more police state for us.
Used to be called "going postal" ....
Then it became "scholastic".
Release ze drones!
Ah, the handy note. Always a good way to bolster the gov't version of events.
Now back to Wolf Blitzer covering this unfolding disaster where the fear is palpable amid the mass pandemonium...
What is it with all these white kids shootin up the skool <airport >?....chris rock
If CNN was covering it all day one knows nothing good can come of it for the American people. They've set it up nicely for the ambulance chasers in DC to act outraged on the Sunday morning news shows, Feinstein and Shumer will be able to go on about it all next week and what are the chances one of them will be talking gun control by the end of the week?
What facility will he be held in so I can transfer some patriot funds into his jail account?
Over.
His note said if was captured alive, he'd prefer bitcoin.
Lol, send the blockchain.info.
Love those Quantas Full Price tickets that are good for a year; might be time for surfers paradise almost any time now. can always read about it in the newspaper. What a country.
We have these armies of TSA morons whom have NEVER caught one GD terrorist - not f'ing one!
It is a gubermint unionized show that has no substance other than to cow the population with yet another quasi - paramilitary outfit.
And how the fuck do you get into LAX in fatigues carrying a long gun in a carry bag?
I travel widely and I feel much more secure flying overseas than domestically.
where are the security vids of shooter entering and doing the deed?
"The gunman was the only person that was armed in this incident"; WTF. What is wrong with these peoples brains? Did he shoot himself?
He clearly is a constitional loving patriot group member who is an Alex Jones fan. Btw, TSA and pigs??? Redundant?
Lol, about to say that. TSA are the pigs. It takes a serious big set of balls to pull this off lone wolf style. A big set.
Personally I would have like to see a higher count of downed blue shirts. They're double stacked in that area. You know the suit guys are almost impossible to get at but you might be able to draw one hero out and double tap'em. Bonus points.
Over.
You're one sick puppy. Whipping up the 100 and fifth ZH keyboarders, what a life.
It's just a matter of time before we see this in mass. Your preparedness will not save you, you know that, I know that. Your fate is bloody and it scares you, it should.
Thanks for the free honeypot. Your stupidity is my recreation.
Over.
As an aside. There's no need for humiliation just because I don't want to pass through your scan/cancer machine. No need to whack my opt-out balls twice a week while I watch pilots and flight attendants freely walk through zero radiation metal detectors unmolested and everyone else gets cancer.
Humiliate me while I pay your salary? You know who I am when I buy that ticket(credit card dummy). You expect every opt-out'er to be masochistic?
You're DEAD wrong mother fucker and I celebrate this day! Tell me where he/she is buried so I can SPIT on the grave.
Doc is getting Hungry. For your convenience... https://giftcards.ruthschris.com/
I gave you a greenie Kito...
another lone wacked out white male who happens to have an AR-15 shoots up some people and voila, the failure of the administration is off the air.
ahhhh, New Jersey in the house !!!!!!!!!!
Governor Christie has raised the temperature a little too quickly these past 3 years on his way to the White House
We've all joked about this crap, and I'm guilty. In all honesty, it's fun to be satirical.
For some strange reason, I'm losing my "sense of humor". When one of the natives leaves the reservation, it shows the "overkill" responses that are put in place.
The {Federal} governing body of the United States, is very concerned! (as they should be)
'Overkill responses'. What the fuck do you mean by that? You mean the guy should've taken out 20-30 before he was 'allowed' to kill himself?
Explain a platoon of "helmet heads" riding on a Suburban outside of the Terminal arrival/departure area, when you have several hundred officers inside the terminal that have already subdued the suspect?
Satisfied?
Look at the time stamps on the video clips HOMER!
I'm concerned about the safety of the SWAT teams. They could've died on the ride there! That's overkill! Where's their union boss?!? /sarc
All that body armor could "malfunction"?
"Yo Fish" is one of kids<25-32> that jumped straight from the battle field to Law Enforcement. It's funny that the private sector provides MOAR (monetary& emotional support) for Veterans than their own .gov?
On the pavement? Most certainly! At least they're wearing helmets like their moms told them to!
lol. great comment! I just wish these guys/gals would evolve from "pavement ape" to "Wallstreet Trader"... </sarc>
It's the one's that evolve from "Wallstreet Trader" to "pavement ape" that you REALLY have to worry about - the other direction is at least natural progression
The reports of his incessant violent video game playing in his parents basement, with black plastic covering the windows, will only be discussed until after the appropriate gun-control zeal is whipped up!
Amen
Was looking at http://unity3d.com.
Maybe a nice web site that versions after every event like this incorporating ripped-from-the-headlines into the game.
Just a thought.... A very sexy thought!
Over.
What was this guy prescribed in the last year or so?
Pigs, who even uses that terminology anymore, are the next generation of neomarxists using it?
Maybe he was a jive turkey.
Jive ass turky ain't got no sense anyhow.
Bunch of squares! Let's split.
Grooooovy!
The .gov flunkies aren't too bright.
2100+ TSA workers at LAX alone.....good grief.
First one ever killed while on duty in the USA.
Bet they'll go to their union and demand hazard pay. And they'll get it too
Re: And they'll get it too
With all the psychotic males running around, I'd want it too.
The real story is it was a Ukrainian grandmother who pulled out an automatic ouzi because she didn't want to board a flight she was certain was bound for ISON.
Did he happen to have on him a pocket constitution or other patriot paraphernalia?
I heard he was covered from head to toe with Ron Paul bumper stickers.
LMFAO
Things are getting freaky out there, regardless of whether the note is real. Just last week:
http://www.krqe.com/news/crime/apd-chief-details-suspects-shooting-rampage
There is also a video at the link as well.
They're claiming that the guy also had a tattoo that said "Cop Killer." Oddly enough, a friend of mine used to live right across the street from the gas station that the chase ended.
This is maybe a 2 sigma event for Albuquerque....
Dunno. Berquenos have been known to do some crazy shit, and the police department is typically hated by just about everybody on account of them shooting a fuckton of people. Unlike many other police departments, APD officers are very proficient with their firearms, so most people wind up in the morgue, not the hospital.
This might have something to do with "bounties" of $300-$500 that the union gives to every APD cop who shoots a serf. Shootings surged 400% after the policy was enacted. The police union pleads that it's simply a way to let an officer relax after the stress of a shooting incident; So that officers can "find a place to have some privacy and time to decompress outside the Albuquerque area."
Cops exist to protect and serve the banks and the big crimminals who buy and enforce the laws. For the little crimminals (i.e. everyone else), well, these pigs mentally value our lives at less than 500 clownbux.
Google and the local MSM fishwrap have flushed the original article down the memory hole. Here is a summary article from Reason.
http://reason.com/blog/2012/03/27/the-albuquerque-police-union-gives-money
Psychotic males (especially young one) are pretty common. Some are even relatives.
People whom populate the Sigma Four are not common. Even the vast majority whom populate the Sigma Four are not violent. Thus this is a Sigma Seven event.
If you have relatives that are psychotic then perhaps you have a propensity for psychosis? Perhaps the evidence of that underlying psychosis is manifested through your posts?
Since it takes a RATIONAL MIND to understand Mathematics I can be assured that you have no idea about what I just wrote.
Under freedom of information can we see the dead shooters multi page written 'rant' letter? Enquiring minds want to know.
I doubt it, the last thing the government wants is people empathizing with a mass shooter; even if said 'rant' contains any valid points or grievances.
All you need to know is that he was full of "hate".
A ranting psychotic male, WhoCouldaKnowed.
Great so now the TSA thugs will get guns but the Marine(who also was a teacher) that took a bullet trying to stop a school shooting was too risky to arm. Makes me sick.
Pigs are different from cops. Cops are the good cops. Pigs are the rotten cops who murder, rape and beat people with no consequences whatsoever. Pigs are gang members with a cop uniform on. If they all died tomorrow, the country would be a better place.
Unfortunately, we don't want psychotic males determining which is which.
At the federal level, they're all pigs.
Re: At the federal level, they're all pigs.
Just following orders, like the "patriots" at the NSA and the "patriots" huntin' fer trrssss in the wrong country.
Because they hate us for our "freedom". Ha.
It's TSA, replace the "p" with an "n"!!!!!
Was the gunman's note written before or after he was killed?
The Infotainment networkz will ride this skinny pony for the next 2 weeks trying to keep ObOzOKarz off the front page.
One of the reasons I haven't had a TV for the last 5 years.
This whole things reeks of False Flag. Remember CIA doctrine calls for events where it is important that innocent people are killed, alah the Balonia, Italy train station during operation Gladio.
Then the goal was to blame the Communist. Today the goal is to get rid of the Second Amendment. Both LAX and Boston followed a previously practiced scenario. And both LAX and Boston actual events followed the practiced scenario script.
How many tens of thousands of people got their whole schedual fucked up for hours? Passengers not allowed to get off the plane for over 6 hours?? You can bet the-wicked-witches of the west- PEElosi & Feinstein will be ready with a new set of gun mandates.
You would need to stage a false flag shooting in a place where you could be sure there was no wild card bystander with a carry permit and actual live ammo. Real bullets in the mix would really screw thing up.
An airport tarmac inside security is probably one of the few public places filled with witnesses that could be sure to fall into that category.
The part that will probably convince me it is real is the fact he was taken alive & not conveniently dead.. not so easily dissapeared.
stinks
We're told the shooter got through tight airport security and his note identifies .gov employees for execution. All too dodgy for me to accept without further inquiry. Is that tin foil hat-ish? Not really when you consider Operation Northwoods, a CIA plot to kill Americans in staged events:-
James Bamford wrote on Northwoods:
Re: Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war
You make it sound like this country is immoral and would attack a country for no reason other than political expediancy.
Come on, what kinda of people do you think run our great-n-glorious nation? When could THAT have ever happened?
Maybe the reason for the odd word of pigs in his note. After all, later this month is the 50th anniversary of JFK and the coup d etat.
Jay Leno Compares Obama to Con Artist for Health Care Lie
Wednesday night, Leno tore into Obama's lie about being able to keep
your existing health care plan under ObamaCare with a joke that might
have left a mark on the administration.
"Con artists are using confusion over ObamaCare to sign people up for
what they call fake health insurance. The scammers lure victims with
false promises, they say stuff like, 'If you like your health care plan,
you can keep your health care plan.'"
...
Would it not be ironic if one of these people losing their health insurance goes postal? I seem to recall someone else on ZH calling Obama a con man ...
Sounds like they twisted his genitals the wrong way.
Bankster Stazi 2 or 3
Americans 1
Why didn't he just vote?
The new Schwarzenegger Stallone movie is decent. They made them look 20 years younger thank god. But anyhow The two of them take on the Banking Cartel and are locked up in a Gitmo facility. Schwarzenegger for writing code to trash the bankers world currency scheme and Stallone for being an escape expert.
Captain America is supposed to take on the DHS in the April release.
"FLIER'S RAGE"
Lone gunman shoots Nazi at ID checkpoint. We will see what the historians say about who was right or wrong in 20 years, when it is all over.
I'm just saying. We have two people whom history could paint in either way depending on future outcomes.
@ Quinvarius I'm just saying, I agree with you.
Oh the huge manatee! How could this happen? Doesn't Kalifornia have some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation? Isn't LAX a gun free zone? Didn't any of the TSA agents have scissors?
Ballgroper "A" probably got pissed at ballgroper "B" for groping Ballgroper "A's" Nut Sac.
...........think of the scene in the movie Stripes with Francis......
"You touch me, I kill you"....
hahahahahahaha
How did a 23 yr old punk from a liberal gun control crazy state like NJ go to another liberal gun control crazy state like CA and get a weapon and do this???
Sounds like liberal states (IL, NY, CA, NJ, DC, MD, MA, CT) that have tight gun control laws have a gun problem....
Good Question....walks into LAX which last time I was there was crawling with TSA and other cops.
Gets ahold of semi auto weapon which as I recall are licensed up the yazhoo in Kalifornia.
Uses the word 'pigs' - I haven't heard a young person use that description for cops in 20 years.
And has it in for gubermint employees - on the Friday news cycle no less.
Yeah, sure sounds mightly fishy on the face of it.
Last time I was at LAX, two TSA were sitting smoking directly under a "No Smoking" sign. But they are Authorities.
Headline
"US Government Murders More Americans, Then Blames the Bill of Rights"
Was this young man on "Adderall"? Ask the big questions, we'll go from there.
This bullshit is phoney. 100% fake.
The guy's name is CIA-N-CIA. Jesus, wake the fuck up.
When this thing first broke it smelled fishy.
Now it makes Janet Yellen's pussy smell summertime fresh in comparison.
OMFG! thanks for scarring me for life with that thought.
It has a pussy?
in b4, half texan half syrian muslim with assad literature in one pocket, ron paul literature in the other and a pocket constitution with an AR-15 assault rifle..
Bomb Syria, Grope the Amerikan sheeple, Weaponize the TSA and arrest everyone on ZH. Forward bitchez!
he must have been dificult to spot because of the fatigues he supposedly wore. what better way to sneak your way into an airport?
The TSA agents did think it was odd that the decorative plants were moving around the departure gates. But since they never finished highschool, they just figured it was something better left for someone more capable to investigate.
None of this would of ever happened if they forced everyone to go through a nude body scanner upon exiting their house.
We should ban clothing, because this man had clothes he was able to hide his gun, if we ban clothes no one will be able to hide weapons and we will all be safe.
Before you manage to enact that Executive Order, may I suggest you scan through the People of WalMart website . . .
Such an edict would certainly lead to a considerable degree of psychological damage Nationwide - just "think of the Children!"
