The New Jersey native who killed a TSA agent and wounded five people in a wild Los Angeles airport shootup left a note describing himself online as a "pissed off patriot" angry that airport searches violate his rights.
Paul Ciancia, 23, walked into a packed Los Angeles International Airport terminal Friday morning wearing fatigues and carrying an AR-15 assault rifle and about 150 rounds of ammunition.
He started picking off Transportation Security Administration agents — sending hundreds of terrified air travelers fleeing for safety.
Ciancia wrote in his note that he "wanted to kill TSA and pigs," and was disappointed with the government, but did not want to hurt civilians, according to reports.
He signed it with the letters "NWO," an apparent reference to an anti-government group called "New World Order," according to the Daily Mail.
Ciancia sprayed gunfire as he marched through the terminal, apparently ignoring civilians while targeting TSA agents, according to reports.
TSA Officer Gerardo I. Hernandez, 39, was killed in the rampage. Hernandez was the first agent to die in the line of duty in the TSA's 12-year history.
Ciancia, of Pennsville, NJ, just south of Philadelphia, sent his younger brother a suicidal text message early Friday that prompted worried relatives to contact police.
Pennsville cops reached out to LA police asking them to do a welfare check on Ciancia. But Ciancia wasn't home when cops got to his apartment.
Ciancia was shot four times during his airport gun battle, and is hospitalized in critical condition.
The Ciancia family said the 23-year-old had no mental health issues, according to Philly.com.
People who knew Ciancia said they were shocked that he was the alleged gunman.
Ciancia's former roommate in Los Angeles, James Mincey, said he appeared to be unemployed but never showed any disturbing qualities, such as a fascination with guns.
He spoke to Ciancia last week.
"He said he was going back to Jersey, going to work for his dad, and making amends with family problems … and spending holidays with his family," Mincey told KABC-TV.
Ciancia had been into a next-door restaurant called The Morrison several times, owner Marc Kreiner said.
"He was kind of a quiet guy, came in mostly by himself," Kreiner told the Los Angeles Times.
Hernandez, the officer who was killed, was one of the TSA's behavioral detection officers who are stationed throughout the airport looking for suspicious behavior, said J. David Cox Sr., national president of the American Federation of Government Employees.
Friends and neighbors remembered the Los Angeles man as a doting father of two and a good neighbor who went door-to-door warning neighbors to be careful after his home in the Porter Ranch area of Los Angeles was burglarized.
"It's devastating because he was such a great guy," Kevin Maxwell, a friend and former TSA co-worker at the airport, told KNBC-TV. "All he talked about was his family. He was very proud of his son, who played football."
He also had a daughter, Maxwell said.
"No words can explain the horror that we experienced today," TSA Administrator John Pistole said in a message to employees Friday.
