Early morning on Friday, November 1st, the international airport LAX was under attack by a single gunman. Witnesses spoke about there terrifying near death experience. Demetrius Trammel was in Gladstone's 4 Fish restaurant kitchen when he saw travelers sprinting in and out of the restaurant. A moment later Trammel heard gunshots and everyone instinctively dropped to the floor at once. While the people in the terminal food court did their best to take cover, Trammel said he saw the gunman emerge carrying an AR-15 rifle on his shoulder. "He was looking around," stated Trammel. "He was calm, pacing, scanning the crowd, like he was looking for somebody specifically." Trammel saw three men with helmets against the wall stealthily making their way toward the gunman. Courageously, Trammel went and shut off the lights, temporarily blinding the gunman. Afterward, he heard around five to six gunshots and subsequently, complete silence. Looking up after hearing the gunshots, the gunman was face down on the floor bleeding from the leg and upper body. There are many more eye witness stories such as Trammel's, showing the tension that was in the room at the moment.
Great post Shahe, I also wrote about a similar article. I cannot believe that there are people such as this man in this world. Why would anyone feel the need to kill another human being? In regards to the spelling, the second sentence has an incorrect word, when showing possession one must use “their”.
ReplyDeleteShahe, great job on the blog post. It is truly devastating to hear yet again about local shootings. It is frightening to think about these events occurring close by. It is difficult to understand the mentality of a gunman out looking for his victim. Excellent blog post Shahe and great use of quotes!
