MIAMI — Police say they are investigating an officer-involved shooting at the Miami airport that shut down a terminal as people looked to leave Florida ahead of Hurricane Irma.
Police said Thursday night they were responding. No other details were immediately available.
Airport officials said in a tweet that the situation involved a single suspect and was under control. Airport spokesman Greg Chin said Concourse J was temporarily closed.
The shooting came as many travelers were trying to get out of the path of the Category 5 hurricane, which devastated a string of Caribbean islands and was on its way to Florida.
