Accused LAX Gunman Denied Bail

Not entirely a surprise

|


The judge denied bail for the accused L.A. airport gunman and called him a danger to the community.

Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23, was taken into custody following the November 1 attack at Terminal 3 of one of the world's busiest airports after police shot him four times, including in the face, wounding him critically.

He was charged in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles with killing a Transportation Security Administration officer and committing an act of violence at an international airport, but he had been prevented by his injuries from making an initial court appearance in the days following his arrest.
