On Saturday US prosecuters filed a murder charge agaisnt the suspected gunman in the shooting inside the Los Angeles International Airport. The suspected gunman could face the death penalty. Police arrested a 23 year old named Paul Ciancia in Friday's attack which wounded five people including two federal security officers and killed a Security officer named Gerado Hernadez. Paul Cianca was also charged with commission of violence at an international airport. Paul Cianca's goal was to go after the TSA and he said he wanted to kill at least one TSA officer and didn't care which one he killed . Nobody knows why Cianca targeted the TSA but the note found in his bag said the he was willing to kill almost any airport security officer he could confront with his AR-15 semi automatic rifle. "Black, white, yellow, brown I don't discriminate," the note read. The Terminal which the shooting occurred was reopened on Saturday. The TSA planned to review the security policies but John Pistole did not say whether or not this included arming the officers. Paul Cianca was a person who did everything on his own. People who attended his high school said that in four years they never heard him say a word and that he would always eat lunch alone. Paul Cianca was shot four times by airport police and wounded him and he was hospitalized till Saturday and there was no word on his condition. On friday Paul Cianca's father called the police because Paul was sending texts to his family suggesting he was in trouble. The call came to late as ten minutes earlier Paul walked into the airport with his rifle and started firing.
I think that this is and horrible event and it makes me wonder why someone would ever do this. Hurt innocent people when it is not necessary. We do not know why he targeted the TSA but no matter what it was never a good enough reason to start shooting up random TSA workers that have done nothing wrong to him. He said that he didn't care which one he killed he just wanted to kill any and as much of the workers as he could. I'm not sure how a person could just kill innocent people but I hope that something will be learned from this event, mostly about gun laws.
