Billy Joe Cagle, 49, is charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault, and making terroristic threats. Authorities discovered a semi-automatic weapon and 27 rounds of ammunition in his truck after his arrest.

Cagle’s family had contacted the Cartersville police earlier that morning, who then informed Atlanta police about the potential threat at the airport.

That would have been a high body count. Hitting the security check point, during a government shutdown.

I’m happy the family caught it in time.

    Bullshit. Most of these shooters cried for attention and everyone was like, “yeah I could see that coming”

      You are absolutely right. The family or friends just don’t act. The signs are there but the disconnect allows it to happen, that’s why it is hard to stop.
