Passengers were temporarily evacuated Sunday from a terminal at Los Angeles International Airport after an arrest inadvertently led to a security breach, authorities said. The incident began about 9 a.m. when Los Angeles Airport Police pulled over a driver in a stolen vehicle outside Terminal 3 at the airport’s lower level, said Officer Rob Pedregon. Police responded by evacuating all passengers from the gates, restaurants and corridors inside Terminal 3, sending them back to the ticketing area, Pedregon said. The reports of gunfire in Terminals 6, 7 and 8 prompted airport police to shut down the central terminal area to incoming traffic. The Los Angeles Times' annual celebration of Southern California’s culinary scene is taking place at Paramount Pictures Studios’ backlot this weekend.
