Police say no gunman has been found and no shots were fired at Los Angeles International Airport after reports of an active shooter brought a scare to hundreds of travellers.
Los Angeles police spokesman Andy Neiman said that the reports were spurred by loud noises only, and police are still investigating to find the source of them.
The reports caused people to pour on to footpaths and out on to the tarmac at the airport.
Later, people could be seen walking back into the airport and flights starting to take off again.
