Authorities responded late Tuesday to a report of an armed man inside one of the parking garages at Orlando International Airport that turned into a 2-hour standoff before the suspect was taken into custody.
Police officers communicated with the man at a rental car location inside Level 1, Airside A, according to FOX 35 Orlando.
"Gunman in custody. Everyone is safe," the Orlando Police Department tweeted.
The airport tweeted that the area had been contained and there was minimal impact to operations. Passengers however were not being allowed into the parking garage area.
Glorializ Col≤n Plaza, 20, told the Orlando Sentinel she was just getting off work from Virgin Atlantic airlines when she saw everyone hiding. She got off the elevator and saw the man on the floor near the rental car area. He was screaming, and cops had surrounded him.
