[fan_since79]

He sprays a TSA agent in the face with wasp spray, then pulls out a machete. Chaos ensues.

The deputy fired three times, striking White in the face, chest and thigh, Normand said.

Normand initially said the TSA officer was hit by the machete, but later said she suffered a wound to her arm from gunfire and no one was cut by the large knife.

So the officer fired three times all hitting the suspect but a TSA officer was also shot. There must have been four shots.

Sometime should explain to JAHV how bullets work.

A single bullet can hit more than one person.

What is this world coming to when a man can't spray wasp spray in someone's face and swing around a machete without worrying about being shot.

The attacker is dead. Police say he was also carrying homemade bombs. It could have been much worse. Give that lady cop a medal.

 

Police also have no idea of the motive at this point.

Normand said White approached a security checkpoint just before 8 p.m. (9 p.m. ET) and was challenged by a TSA officer.

"The response was, he pulled a can of wasp spray and sprayed the officer in the face," Normand said.

Fox News crossing their fingers that he's tied to ISIS.

 

Well, from the picture I saw.  He was black.  They are just trying to confirm that the shooter was white before going global.
