Local 10s Erica Rakow live at LAX where there is mass chaos following police activity in terminal. Seems to be Delta Terminal 5.
Active Shooter Call.

Maybe, someone TRIED to redeem miles for a last minute flight and saw the price! 
Sorry to joke about a serious situation. I just couldn't resist!

"The LAPD said they were investigating after receiving at least two calls reporting a possible active shooter, but later released a statement saying it was 'proven to be loud noises only, NO SHOOTING/NO INJURIES.'"

Between this and the time it happened at JFK, it really is disheartening how poorly prepared airports are for actual events. It is just immediate chaos airportwide and no one seems to be in control.
