    It was a Canadian flight. That's probably the confusion.

    Here he is.

    This also makes more sense of why they have not deplaned other landed flights. If for any reason it was multiple with similar timed arrival. Although that seems unlikely or he would have waited until all were down.

    Flightview doesn't appear to have any flights from that far north arriving this afternoon. Alaska Air had a flight from DFW. Air Canada had a flights from like Toronto and Montreal. Delta/Southwest didn't appear to have anything.

    (Sidenote, SW had a flight from Havana. That was strange to see.)

    Oh good, the rule forbid it so we know it didn't happen


    He was in the Delta/Southwest terminal; Delta does not allow loaded magazines. All ammunition must be in a separate container, that provides cartridge separation. Southwest does allow loaded magazines, but does not have any flights to/from Canada.

    Let me get this straight: the claim is that he had a checked firearm, retrieved said checked firearm in baggage claim, then loaded two magazines with no one apparently paying any attention, before opening fire?

    Scanner audio had "4 red, 2 yellow, 5 black".

    If I remember triage codes right:

    Red is needs medical quickly, but possible to live.

    Yellow is Injured bad, but fine right now. Might ne re-triage in the future.

    Black is DOA or expected to die with possible medical help available. (Which the new confirmed.)


    So it is possible for 1-2 of the Red cases to go bad.
    yes those are the typical triage colors.

    answer the question

    Uh... uh... no... I mean yes.

    I mean.... we need dash cam or it didn't happen.

    But seriously, it is the 24 hour rule. No one really knows at this point. He could've come in from Alaska via a connection anywhere. Or, from somewhere else, but made his way to the baggage claim for a flight arriving from Canada. Who knows.

    But, from my own experience, if he had a connection AND his bags reached the same terminal he flew into on the same day, there's a 50/50 chance of a government cover-up. Normal people don't get that lucky.

    I heard on scanner that they had secured weapons and had the owner.

    If I am in Indy in an active shooter situation. Can my firearm be taken? I could perhaps understand while I am producing id/LTCH, but would they separate me from my firearm for an extended period of time?

    They have to wonder if this was intentional mayhem to lower security for other parts of the airport. I've seen bad guys pretend to be firemen and gain access during crisis. Mission impossible
