I first heard about the shooting incident at LAX via Twitter. I follow Mythbuster Tory Belleci and he tweeted, "Holy s*!!! How the hell did guns get passed security? Outside now."
I got home and I've been flipping between CNN, MSNBC and even FOX. So far, CNN has been awful. Much less specific factual information. They had a harder time than the others getting some eyewitness on the phone and the one I did hear was very difficult to understand. Wolf Blitzer and security experts have been speculating trying to fill time. Wolf was wondering why TSA agents aren't armed. FOX had some real info but then I heard them get another eyewitness and instead of just getting info from him the host was saying he'd already heard different things (You were in terminal 2, we had heard terminal 3; you say dark flannel, we heard camo). MSNBC has been calm and has been good about getting info from witnesses and some official sources (there hasn't been much, but MSNBC seems to be getting it quicker than the others). CNN's video of the airport looks best, MSNBC has shown good maps, FOX's giant iPad are very odd (first I've seen them). Mostly it's just showing an email client that only the host can read.
Update: CNN now has Tory Belleci on the phone and is showing photos from his twitter stream. MSNBC is reporting one TSA agent killed and another wounded, CNN and FOX are still just mentioning one wounded
