from Atlanta....Claimed his luggage ( Took a gun out of his luggage ) sat down and began shooting..
IT IS ALLOWABLE IN THIS COUNTRY TO CHECK A GUN IN LUGGAGE!
At this point NRA and Trump are hoping that the shooter was an Alaska ISIS member..
Not funny.. I know.. just sad... The state of accessibility for carrying guns in this country is as frightening as a Trump Presidency.

Earlier CNN reported the flight came from Canada. Perhaps it originated in Alaska.

Tons of people fly with guns in the belly of the plane and pick them up at baggage claim.
