Another gun shooting incident has gone down, this time in Houston!
At Bush Intercontinental Airport, gunshots reportedly rang out in the area of Terminal B.
One person at a ticket counter there supposedly suffered a gunshot wound and was immediately taken to a hospital for treatment of a life-threatening injury.
At this time, it is unknown if anyone was taken into custody or if the gunshot wound was self-inflicted.
Elevator systems in the area were shut down.
Travelers and workers at the airport are lucky no other injuries have occurred because according to former Laguna Beach star Stephen Colletti,who was one of the many in lockdown at the airport, multiple shots were fired!
The actor was in the terminal at the time and reported on Twitter about what went on:
So that’s what that feels like.

How terrifying!
Considering all the gun violence that has gone on lately, this incident will only add to the fear.
We’ll be waiting to hear further information about what happened and will pass it on as soon as we know.
We hope everyone at the Houston airport is safe!
UPDATE: CNN is now reporting that the man who was shot entered the pre-screening area of Terminal B with a miltary-style semi-automatic rifle and fired two shots into the ceiling. He then pulled out another gun and shot himself after an air marshal confronted him.
