The BBC is reporting:

Unconfirmed reports of gunshots, later described by police as just "loud noises", have sparked evacuations at Los Angeles airport.

People fled the airport on Sunday night amid the shooting reports, with scenes of abandoned luggage on pavements.

Traffic to the terminal was halted and no flights were allowed to land, but operations have now resumed.

LA police tweeted that no shots had been fired and there were no injuries. They are investigating the noises.

  You are completely correct as per my further research. I didn't even find any similarity to the '02 shooting at the LA airport. I had forgotten about the '02 shooting until I researched this one in more depth.

  Must have been some shooting at some airport from a couple years ago that I'm remembering....
