New York:
Two terminals at New York's John F Kennedy International Airport are resuming normal operation today morning after reports of shots fired prompted evacuations and grounded and diverted flights.
The reports, which led to some frightening moments for fliers on Sunday night, were later determined to be unfounded and the airport was given the all-clear.
Police evacuated Terminal 8 around 9:30 pm on 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. A highway approaching the airport also was shut down.
There were no injuries reported. It was not immediately clear what led to the airport scare.
