ATLANTA — A passenger facing a search at the Atlanta airport’s main security checkpoint lunged into a bag and grabbed a firearm, and the gun went off, causing chaos among travelers and prompting a temporary groundstop on flights to the airport Saturday afternoon, federal authorities said.
TSA referred all further questions to Atlanta police, who had no immediate update Saturday evening on whether the passenger had been taken into custody. An Associated Press email message to Atlanta police was not immediately returned. It added that TSA’s leadership and local airport officials decided to impose a temporary ground stop while Atlanta Police Department investigated further.
