The Latest: Police probe Olympic cheers during airport chaos


NEW YORK (AP) " The Latest on turmoil caused at New York's Kennedy Airport after unfounded reports of gunshots being fired there (all times local):5:45 p.m. Authorities say travelers at New York's Kennedy Airport cheering and loudly celebrating Usain (yoo-SAYN') Bolt's Olympic 100-meter dash victory may have prompted ultimately unfounded reports of gunshots there. That's among the possibilities being probed by investigators trying to determine what led to a series of evacuations at the airport Sunday night. Police evacuated Terminal 8 around 9:30 p.m. Sunday as a precaution after receiving 911 calls about shots fired near the departures area. A short time later, police closed Terminal 1 after they said they received additional reports of shots fired in that terminal.
