Loaded Shotgun Discovered at Miami International Airport

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, are investigating after a loaded shotgun was found in a bathroom at Terminal D of the Miami International Airport Monday afternoon.

Sources told NBC 6 that while the shotgun was found inside the bathroom, two boxes of ammunition were discovered outside of the bathroom in the terminal. The gun was reportedly found wrapped in a towel around 3:30 p.m.

Dogs were brought in to help sweep the area.

Passengers were not evacuated from the terminal and Miami-Dade Police said they are investigating who the gun is registered to, if it’s registered at all.

Miami-Dade Police said guns are found at the airport after passengers abandon them instead of taking them home to secure them.
