LAX Aftermath
After Friday's fatal shooting at LAX, things seemed to be back to normal. But a closer look revealed the memory of a lost life.
"It could have been us! We're just thinking about how terrible and horrible this situation was," said Clayton Brooks, who was traveling through LAX.
Police said 23-year-old Paul Ciancia shot three people at the airport Friday, killing TSA officer Gerardo Hernandez.
The incident sparked criticism on the effectiveness of LAX security. But on Monday, LAPD Chief Patrick Gannon said, "As hard as we try, as hard as we work to make this airport 100 percent, nothing will be perfect. But in this incident, TSA did a remarkable job to move those passengers. That's what saved lives."
One tenant at the Rancho Los Feliz apartments, said the suspect lived there until around February. Management sent an email to notify the tenants, an email that one resident says he never saw coming.
"That was the first I'd heard of the shooting so it... was a big shock," said Corey Wilkosky. He also said finding out they lived in the same building was an uneasy feeling.
"That's kind of freaky," Wilkosky explained. "I didn't know if I knew him or I saw him around the apartment complex.
At Calabasas High School, faculty and students hoped for a speedy recovery for Theatre teacher Brain Ludmer, one of the victims of the LAX shooting.
