After a weekend of intense investigation,
authorities are piecing together more details
about Friday's fatal shooting at Los Angeles
International Airport. Paul Ciancia of Los
Angeles has been charged with murder of a federal
officer and commission of violence in an
international airport. He was shot by officers
Friday and was in critical condition at Ronald
Reagan UCLA Medical Center on Sunday. A note
found on Ciancia indicated that he wanted to kill
Transportation Security Administration employees
to "instill fear into their traitorous minds."
About 920 a.m. Friday, Ciancia walked up to a
Transportation Security Administration checkpoint
in Terminal 3. He pulled a .223-caliber assault
rifle from a bag and shot TSA officer Gerardo
Hernandez. Ciancia then went up an escalator but
returned to shoot Hernandez again, apparently
after seeing him move. He continued walking and
shooting. Witnesses said he went from person to
person, asking, "Are you TSA?"Hernandez, 39, was
the first TSA officer to die in the line of duty
since the agency was created in 2001.
