what happened at atlanta airport today

According to multiple sources, including, a woman armed with a knife stabbed three people, including a police officer, at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Wednesday, October 11, 2023. The incident occurred around 4:45 p.m. in the domestic terminal and was cleared by 5:30 p.m. . The woman was outside of security, near the west crossover, and began walking to the south terminal. Before officers came across her, she had already stabbed a man in a taxi at the north terminal. By the south terminal, officers tried to convince her to drop the knife and were working to restrict her movement and clear travelers from the area. During this encounter, she stabbed a woman and then an APD lieutenant in the leg as he tried to take her into custody. Ultimately, another officer tackled her to the ground and they used pepper spray and tasers to take her into custody. The victims were transported to a hospital for treatment and were alert, conscious, and breathing. The security checkpoint was never closed and is still screening travelers. The suspect, whose name was not released, was not injured. The motive for the attack is still under investigation.
