[Siwsan]

FLINT, Mich., — This morning, law enforcement officers from a number of organizations including the FBI’s office in Flint, Mich., responded to Flint’s Bishop International Airport after receiving the report of a stabbing of an airport police officer who is presently considered to be in stable condition.

The suspect was taken into custody at the airport and is currently being questioned by law enforcement officers.

The FBI, with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners, is jointly investigating this incident to determine the nature and motive for the attack. We are aware of reports that the attacker made statements immediately prior to or while attacking the officer, but it is too early to determine the nature of these alleged statements or whether or not this was an act of terrorism.

Based on the information that we have at this time, we believe this to be an isolated incident. We currently have no specific, credible information that there is a threat to the Flint community.

If you have any information about this incident, please call the FBI’s Detroit Field Office at 313-965-2323 or at tips.fbi.gov.

2. Just now they said the guy flew from Canada to New York, rented a car and drove to Flint

I can only assume he returned the rental, in Flint, headed upstairs and stabbed the security officer?!? The stabbing took place at the top of the escalator. The security area is still a short walk, through a waiting area and down a short hallway.

Bishop is a really nice, mid-sized regional airport. It is about the last place you would ever have imagined something like this could happen. I wonder if we will ever find out why this guy chose it.
