I know there's a danger in overextrapolating from a case like this, but Gary Younge's column on this is great:

My office is two blocks from the airport and there is WAY too much police/fire/security traffic for it to have been just one person. I suspect there are/were more people involved.
― Survivalist Compound Row (B.L.A.M.), Friday, 1 November 2013 17:24 (twelve years ago)
that's possible but also since it was an airport incident they may be going OTT.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Friday, 1 November 2013 17:29 (twelve years ago)
that would be my suspicion
reporting it was a lone gunman with a high-powered rifle at the moment

Apparently a second person arrested in a parking garage.

Also I could totally see this being the case:
Law enforcement sources told CBS News that the shooter was an off-duty TSA agent.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 1 November 2013 18:08 (twelve years ago)
one person killed according to reports

Shooter at the Garden State Mall in Nj. Local place for me... no confirmed victims? Only reports were of a decked out shooter aiming at security cameras during the closing of the mall. No arrests yet and they're looking for the guy.

20 year old white male. Committed suicide. Made the commendable decision not to shoot anybody else! I feel weird about that last sentence.
― how's life, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 12:24 (twelve years ago)
I feel weird about the first sentence too!
gah.
It's amazing that the first reports are always 100% wrong, huh

A photographer, 27, was seriously hurt at Liberation and a motorist was forced to drive to the Champs Elysees before he was allowed to go.
what?
― how's life, Monday, 18 November 2013 14:16 (twelve years ago)
= a guy driving a car was forced to drive to the Champs Elysees and let out the shooter and then he was allowed to drive on.
