that was where the running happen. you ran because other people were running you didn t necessarily hear the gunshot yourself. i did not hear the gunshot. i saw a few people running and then i saw a few more people running and then after that that s when the screaming in stampede happened. arthel: where s your bag i think you told eric you checked your bag but did you not complete that process. i just checked it we were scrolling over the security. i hope it safe and sound. arthel: the good news is no one was hurt the gun was discharged accidentally. there is no major attack on the airport. as you rightly so thought that
have armed federal air marshals they carry weapons but the tsa agents, great folks who want us down and make us go to the machines they don t have guns, they re not armed but maybe somebody was checking a gun in yet strict rules about carrying a gun on a plane. arthel: you make a good point this is the weekend before thanksgiving. i know people will wait until next week to travel, wednesday will be the biggest travel day. some people are getting a head start and people are on edge as they ve seen the reports of the misbehavior, bad behavior in flights. with purity concern did not you have a hearing as a gun going off at the airport. it has to make you really, really nervous. we are going to can follow the breaking news in atlanta at hartsfield jackson airport. we will bring more as we get meanwhile no one is armed and no
occur. arthel: these guns not only do they had to be checked they have to be unloaded. it makes me wonder. not only how this happened even for checked gun is supposed to be unloaded. also we are in the airport. we don t know where this happens or how they could ve heard. people coming on the conveyor belt and maybe that s where the gun went off. i m not sure, one thing i would ask. i would imagine there are some viewers who are asking why would someone be traveling with the gun in the first place. i got to tell you. it is all too common that happen all the time at airports where individuals are trying to get to
to have a gun in this environment and they may have come across better to the jury. i just think they didn t come across well at all. over prosecuted the case in that was met with the verdict that they got. eric: how about that argument, he was a vigilante, his mother drove them across state lines, she should he do that with a semi automatic weapon. he had no business in that position and therefore he s guilty of something. i guess you not guilty of something in the criminal defense system. everyone could say he s guilty of something, he may be guilty of bad decision-making but this is why we tried cases in the courtroom with a set of laws and we don t try cases on social media and facebook and twitter where everyone think they have a law degree. if you watch this case and evaluate the evidence and plug into the law as instructed. you don t have to like it but
walk-through. they are investigating this and will bring you more as we get it. we have now. arthel: right now what i want to do is bring in former d.c. homicide detective and fox news contributor ted williams. as i mentioned earlier when people hear a gun going off at an airport. this could cause serious panic and what are your thoughts initially with very limited information that we do at, what are your thoughts and how this might ve happened? there is so much that we don t know at this immediate time we don t know if it s officer involved discharged or some passenger. the eric was right about what he
