NBC News reports, authorities at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia prevent a horrific mass murder tragedy thanks to the family of a mentally impaired gunman doing the correct thing and calling the police. How many times following mass shootings have we said, how did no one know, why did no one say anything? However, in this case the family did "see something, say something."
Authorities in Atlanta said they averted a tragedy Monday after a man’s family told police that he was headed to the city's airport to “shoot it up.”
Police found an AR-15 assault rifle with 27 rounds of ammunition in the man’s truck, which was parked outside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said.
“There were 27 rounds that could have been fired from this weapon inside the airport,” Schierbaum told reporters.
Billy Cagle, 49, was arrested on suspicion of making terroristic threats, criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault and firearms charges, police said.
