Police walk outside Terminal 3 at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, Nov. 1, 2013. Shots were fired Friday at Los Angeles International Airport, prompting authorities to evacuate a terminal and stop flights headed for the city from taking off from other airports.

The gunman who allegedly opened fire at the LAX airport in Los Angeles on Friday morning has been identified as 23-year-old Paul Ciancia, according to the Associated Press and NBC News.

Seven people were injured and six were transported to local hospitals after the shooting.

A witness told MSNBC on air Friday that the gunman calmly approached him, asked "TSA?" and kept walking when he shook his head "no."

Multiple TSA agents were wounded in the shooting, and one died.
