The incident didn’t impact any airport operations.
An individual brought two guns to the San Francisco International Airport’s Bay Area Rapid Transit station, temporarily delaying BART service Thursday morning, officials said.
When officers responded to the armed person at the BART station entrance — near the airport’s international terminal — they tried to de-escalate, but the suspect kept showing “threatening behavior,” airport spokesman Doug Yakel said.
Police “engaged non-lethal measures,” but the gunman “continued to advance, at which time SFPD officers fired shots to neutralize the threat,” Yakel said.
The suspect was hurt, Yakel said, but the extent of the injuries were not immediately released. One bystander suffered minor injuries and has been treated and released, Yakel said.
The incident didn’t impact any airport operations, Yakel said. BART service to the airport was temporarily suspended and has since resumed.
