Reports of a gunman opening fire that turned out to be false caused panicked evacuations at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday night, while flights to and from the airport saw major delays. A search through terminals brought no evidence of a gunman or shots fired, Los Angeles police spokesman Andy Neiman said. Many other evacuees were standing on the airport tarmac, and abandoned bags littered some sidewalks. "I've never seen passengers, just normal people, on the tarmac anywhere in the United States," McDonald told KCAL-TV. It came just days after another false alarm led to a panicked evacuation of Kennedy Airport in New York.
