Detentions at the airport following Christmas horror

Following the ugly family dispute, police detained one man who survived at least one stab wound and a girl who was not injured in the airport parking garage, as reported by CNN. Early Thursday, Sgt. Mayra Reeson told the reporters, “I believe this was a family dispute that escalated.” Four people were rushed to the hospital following the incident with one woman who was shot in critical condition, as reported by The New York Post.

Cops revealed that the two men who were shot and another man who was stabbed were all in stable condition. However, none of the people involved have been identified yet.

Police have confirmed that the individuals involved were all known to each other and were “engaged in a physical altercation that quickly escalated” when one person drew a gun, as reported by CBS. Authorities have not yet clarified which individual produced the weapon, and the investigation is ongoing. At this time, the motive behind the altercation remains unclear, and police are working to gather more details from witnesses and security footage.

No other people were hurt

Police have assured that no other person present at the airport was hurt. As a precaution, Sky Train operations and security checkpoint were shut down temporarily. The police shared, “The incident has been resolved, and operations have returned to normal.”

Later the police reported that a man showed up with a firearm after he received a text about an active shooter and got into “an altercation”. However, the two instances are said to be unrelated by the police.
