Police shot a man who wielded a knife and tried to get into a Miami airport terminal from a runway, prompting the closure of a busy concourse as travelers tried to leave Florida ahead of Hurricane Irma, authorities said. The gentleman fled into a room allegedly armed with a knife," Perez told reporters during a news conference. The man tried to leave the room and get back into the terminal through the ceiling, Perez said. Perez said the suspect was taken to a hospital in stable condition to be treated for his injuries. Woodford was able to board his flight for Toronto — at a different concourse and nearly 4 hours after his original departure time.
