LAX gunman targeted TSA employees, police investigate ‘NWO’ conspiracy motive

A lone gunman who shot his way through a security checkpoint at Los Angeles International Airport wanted to kill TSA employees, law enforcement officials said. The shooter, on an apparent suicide mission, wrote that he hoped to avoid civilian casualties.

Following the attack, authorities found a note in the shooter’s bag outlining the political nature of Friday’s attack. He indicated that he wanted to kill Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents and made it clear he had no intention of harming civilians in a note laced with antigovernment rhetoric. Law enforcement sources told AP the note talked about TSA searches being a violation of his constitutional rights. Earlier, a source said the noted indicated Ciancia “wanted to kill TSA and pigs.”

Several witnesses said the shooter appeared to take aim only at TSA agents and avoided shooting passengers.

Another law enforcement source told the Los Angeles Times the note contained the letters "NWO." Investigators are trying to determine whether the shooter was referencing the New World Order, a conspiracy theory which says a secret elite is vying to control the world via one-world government and globalization.

The source, however, said it was still too early to determine what role, if any, “NWO” played in the ordeal. The shooter, identified as 23-year-old Paul Anthony Ciancia, was a US citizen
