we have been told that the shooting started in an area near the taxi stand. this photograph looks to me like it happened on that taxi side, on the aircraft side of the airport which is a whole different ball of wax. if somebody gets a gun through security and into the area where the aircraft come and go, that is a very frightening prospect. jenna: very good point, we still don t know. here is what we are hearing from officials on the ground now through our affiliate wsvn saying that the shooting took place in the lower level baggage claim area in terminal 2 and that the shooting did take place at 1:00 p.m. eastern time. there was an active shooter call at one point, but they said almost immediately, it seems according to the timeline that a suspect is in custody order was in custody. we don t have any information if there was more than one shooter but there is a suspect in custody. they have clear the terminal around a4 and b5 near the north side of the airport, passengers and airpor
plaintiff the jetway is not working but all these passengers headed off somewhere, making their way back to the terminal which is just more evidence the situation is over. not to diminish it in any way. certainly this has been a horrible event at fort lauderdale hollywood airport. the investigation is just beginning. broward sheriff s office tells us there a multiple dead, the first report was one person dead. then there was a report of three dead now broward sheriff s office telling us multiple people are dead. they pan across the airport, strange thing to see. these southwest jets right there in the corner waiting, looks like a delta jet, some other more on hold. there are 30 airlines that serviced the airport. it is one of the top 25 largest in the country. we have some amateur video that we have just gotten in. this is that area i was talking about a little while ago, we have a twitter picture from here. the reality of this thing is
there are victims. the extent of those injuries for those victims is unknown at the time. but again, we are seeing the placements between terminal 2 and 3, 1 report said it was in the taxi area and from the initial reports, the initial reports are saying the extent of the injuries are unknown at this time. jon: fort lauderdale airport has grown tremendously over the last 25 years or so. it was a golf course basically not that long ago. it is now one of the busier airports in the country. again, to have that terminal shut down as it is for now is going to radically affect flights in and out of fort lauderdale in relief lights all around the country because planes that are not leaving fort lauderdale are not going to be available to go on to another destination when they land. we are working on getting some more information. sounds like this happen, as genocide, may be at the taxi stand
another area of the terminal, evaluating whether any of them pose a risk, attempt to rescreen them, support the booking of them and send them on their way. jenna: great to have your expertise as we are getting in some new information into our newsroom about the incident. according to the office manager at the fort lauderdale airport, public information officer which makes her opinion more important, she is confirming to fox news that the situation has been resolved. that is her word at this time peewee still cannot confirm for our viewer whether or not they shooter is in custody, contain or whether that shooter is alive or dead. we really don t know. we also don t know the extent of the injury. we are seeing numbers very fluid, initially five people injured, then six, as high as nine, we have not seen numbers higher than that but we have not got confirmation. the only confirmation we have seen through our affiliate at the sheriffs office was the number of six people injured in this i
they started the coordination process between tsa and other first responding organizations that would have implemented procedures agreed to and probably rehearsed ahead of time and practice, whether it was on the runway area, inside the terminal, in the concourse, aboard the plane or in a more public areas such as the baggage claim or outside the airport. jenna: i want to be kept for our viewers pay thank you very much, we will go back to you and just a moment. what we have learned in the last few minutes is significant. we want to recap for everyone where we are added. around 1:00 p.m. eastern time, reports of shots fired at fort lauderdale airport. there was initially a report there was an active shooter situation, that was confirmed through our affiliate and it came in around 1:00 p.m. eastern. according to the timeline of what we know so far, again relying on the local reports,
