The man suspected in a deadly shooting rampage at Los Angeles International Airport has been upgraded from critical to fair condition at an area hospital.
Officials at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center announced the upgraded condition on Tuesday, 11 days after the suspect — Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23 — allegedly opened fire inside the airport.
Transportation Security Administration Agent Gerardo I. Hernandez was killed and three other people — including two TSA officers — were wounded in the Nov. 1 attack inside the airport's Terminal 3. LAX police took Ciancia into custody about 10 minutes after the shooting began, authorities said, wounding the suspect in the head and leg during a gun battle.
Authorities allege that Ciancia targeted TSA workers in the attack, with the suspect writing in a signed note that he wanted to kill TSA agents and "instill fear in their traitorous minds."
