KENNER, Louisiana (AP) -- A man whom people ridiculed because he was wearing a turban opened fire Wednesday in New Orleans' Louis Armstrong International Airport, shooting one woman, authorities said.
Witnesses said a man tackled the shooter after the gun jammed or misfired.
A suspect was taken into custody, said airport spokeswoman Michelle Dufourc. It was not known if the suspect and victim knew each other. Their identities were unavailable.
The woman was hospitalized in stable condition. Airport spokeswoman Michelle Dufourc said the woman's injuries did not appear life threatening.
"I heard one very loud boom," said Mary Ann Rouanet, a US Airways ticketing agent. She said she ducked behind the counter; other employees scrambled out of sight through the baggage conveyor.
Another witness, Jonathon Jenkins, told WWL-TV that the shooter was subdued by another man after the gun jammed.
"Everyone scattered. Everyone went down in the middle of the lobby," Jenkins said. "I went down and when I came up I noticed a man with a shotgun in his hand. ... He went to pump the gun again and it jammed."
Flights were continuing but delays were reported.
