FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Police said “multiple people” were killed in a shooting Friday afternoon at the Fort Lauderdale international airport, the Washington Post reports. On its official Twitter account, airport officials said there was an “ongoing incident” in the Terminal 2 baggage claim area. They did not elaborate. Miami area television stations are reporting that at least nine people were shot and that the shooter is in custody. While officials could not immediately confirm the death toll, “we have multiple people dead,” the spokeswoman said. News helicopters hovering over the scene showed hundreds of people standing on the tarmac early Friday afternoon as an ambulance drove by and numerous law enforcement officers rushed to the scene. Former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer tweeted that he was at the airport when shots were fired and “everyone is running.” Calls to the Broward Sheriff’s Office and the Fort Lauderdale Police Department were not immediately returned.
