Police Arrest Man After Atlanta Airport Threat

Georgia man Billy Joe Cagle, 49, was federally charged with attempted violence at an international airport, interstate threat communications, and being a felon in possession after authorities say he threatened on FaceTime to 'shoot up' Hartsfield-Jackson and then arrived at the South Terminal. Alerted by a report, Atlanta police found him 25 minutes later and arrested him; video showed him walking toward a crowded TSA checkpoint, and police said he appeared unarmed inside. A sweep located his pickup with an AR-15-style rifle loaded with 27 rounds. Officials said swift reporting averted tragedy.
