Daly had been waiting in the first-class lounge for Virgin America at LAX when gunfire broke out. Following the shooting, he spoke to CNN’s Brooke Baldwin from a tunnel on his way to baggage claim:
As we were being evacuated, we were told not to step on any blood or glass, bc it could be evidence, @TimmyDaly tells CNN #LAXShooting

We were standing 20 feet from a high powered rifle on the ground, with 3 clips nearby, @TimmyDaly tells @BrookeBCNN

At the time of this post’s publication, the authorities have yet to confirm exactly what kind of gun was used in the shooting.
Daly thanked the LAPD for handling the situation so well:
“I think the LAPD has done an outstanding job of trying to keep people calm and organize everybody.”
As he remarked, “Having a gun pointed at you at any time is scary.” We can only imagine. Stay safe, travelers.
