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.

Pretty much the same thing. I realize its faux pas to admit to this but: better safe than sorry. We are at a point where terrorism and gun violence have become part of our daily news feeds. 20 years ago this shit wasn't on our minds. Now its almost normal to hear of mass shootings and terrorist attacks.
