(CNN)The accidental discharge of a weapon near the main screening area of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport caused widespread panic Saturday afternoon, prompting a brief halt of departing flights over the busy travel weekend.
The discharge occurred around 1:30 p.m. at the airport's security screening area, airport officials said on Twitter.
"There is no danger to passengers or employees," the statement said, adding the investigation remains ongoing.
An Atlanta police spokesperson confirmed no injuries had been reported as a result of the incident.

"The incident began when a "prohibited item" was identified going through the X-ray at the security checkpoint, the TSA said. A bag search was initiated, and a TSA officer told the passenger not to touch the property. However, as the officer searched the bag, the "passenger lunged into the bag and grabbed a firearm, at which point it discharged," the TSA said.
"The passenger then fled the area, running out of the airport exit," the statement said, adding, "This was not an active shooter event."

You have to look offshore for the real news involving anything dealing with race:

 
Why the f*ck would you run away?

You are at an airport, you already went past part of TSA which means you already got your boarding pass, you are in like 50 different cameras at that point.
 
Lemme guess... a LEO?

Well, it did say AD not ND, so probably

Edit: I guess I should have read the rest of the comments, but if it were one of us and not a convicted felon, it would have been an NG
