How false reports of an active shooter shut down LAX

Flights are slowly – very slowly – getting back on track at Los Angeles International Airport after a series of events there last night brought operations to a halt. It started with a man in a Zorro costume, complete with mask and plastic sword… and then got worse… with reports of an active shooter inside one of the terminals. All the while, airport officials evacuated passengers to the roadway in front or to the tarmac.
