Investigation Underway

Witnesses on the scene reported the scene as chaotic. Detectives are zeroing in on a white BMW parked outside Terminal 1 as part of the investigation.

A witness, who was sleeping in an adjacent hotel, told WPIV-TV that a bullet hit a window. She described how earplugs probably prevented her from being more scared. She stated that remaining motionless in her room possibly saved her. Another guest in the hotel reported hearing multiple gunshots.
