HOUSTON — Shots were fired near a ticket counter at Houston’s largest airport Thursday, critically injuring one armed man and sending people in the terminal scrambling and screaming, a Houston police spokesman and witnesses said.
A call that there had been a “discharge of firearms” came in to police at 1:35 p.m., John Cannon, the spokesman, said. The shots were fired near the ticket counter in Terminal B at Bush Intercontinental Airport, he said. One person was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries. It was not immediately clear who fired the shots.
