00:0027 or more lives could have been lost today because an individual came into

00:14Hartfield Jackson and after being reported coming out of Cartersville,

00:20Georgia, that had mental challenges. This individual, thankfully, his family

00:26went to the Cartersville police and shared with them what was going on and

00:29they alerted APD and APD and the airport were aware and this crisis was averted.

00:36But this individual did have a semi automatic weapon and this individual was

00:41mentally challenged. And when you have those combinations together, it can turn

00:46out to be deadly. People that are mentally challenged that and he happened to also

00:50have been a felon from a few years back. So he's a felon with a semi automatic

00:57weapon and he's got mental challenges and he's approaching the world's busiest

01:01and most efficient airport. This crisis, we're thankful to God and to good

01:06information and good Intel and good people for this crisis being averted. We have

01:11taken custody and have under arrest a Billy Cagle, age 49, resident of Cartersville,

01:17Georgia. At approximately 940 this morning, the Atlanta Police Department was

01:22alerted by the Cartersville Police Department of a potential threat at the

01:25airport. Carterville, Carterville Police, Cartersville Police Department was

01:28alerted by the family of Mr. Cagle that he was streaming on social media, that he

01:34was headed to the airport in their words to shoot it up and the family stated

01:37that he was in possession of an assault rifle. What we didn't know is that Mr.

01:43Cagle had already arrived at the airport. In fact, we know that he arrived at 929 going

01:49to the south terminal and that he entered the airport shortly thereafter at 931.

01:54At that time, we do not believe he was armed. He entered the south domestic

01:58terminal and from video we will show you he seemed to be very interested in the

02:02TSA check-in area which you can see was heavily, heavily crowded with travelers.

02:07At approximately 954, officers of this department armed with a photograph of Mr.

02:12Cagle and being provided up-to-date information from their sergeant as she

02:16spoke to the Cartersville Police Department and a family member was able to locate

02:20Mr. Cagle and take him into custody. He had arrived at the airport in a Chevy

02:25flatbed pickup that was part of the lookout provided to us by Cartersville PD.

02:28That vehicle was parked immediately outside. When we went to that vehicle, we

02:33found inside a Springfield AR-15 assault rifle, a 5.56 St. Victor model with 27

02:40rounds of ammunition. We did have a tragedy averted today. We are working

02:46closely with the District Attorney of Clayton County, District Attorney Mosley,

02:49and we have charged Mr. Cagle with a count of terrorist threats, criminal attempt to

02:54commit aggravated assaults, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and

02:58possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. We're here today briefing you on a

03:04success and not a tragedy because a family saw something and said something. A family knew

03:10they had a family member in crisis, they knew they had access to firearms, and they were on social

03:15media. This is something we've seen across the country time and time again. Social media postings,

03:20people with an awareness, individuals with access as a firearm, but today the family said something.

03:26The local police in Cartersville quickly notified the Atlanta Police Department.

03:29And the Atlanta Police Department, using its resources at the airport, took the individual

03:33into custody. So today is how it should work.

03:44You'll be entering the top left, you see them right here in the blue shirt, right here.

03:51You will go into the TSA area, has a high interest in that area, and you'll see the number of travelers

03:56that are there that are preparing the shooting. That department repairs. Our officers armed

04:00with this photograph are able to pick him out of that crowded area.

04:04They're able to take him to custody.

04:09They're just looking at a situation for the line.

04:17Oh.

04:23It's dead, all right here.

04:32What's up.

04:33Mr. Cagle's video was just outside his doors.

04:44He was clearly moving from the area that he was in the protection area and was moving back to that area.

04:53Mr. Cagle was checked out by UMS.

04:55They determined he had no injuries and he would be later be transported to his detention area.

05:00And then we're going to have next the weapon that is located inside the vehicle.

05:08Thank you, Director Spikes.

05:11The officers at this time are handcuffing him.

05:13Because of his size, which you have in the description,

05:16they did require to use two sets of handcuffs to be able to properly secure him.

05:20Fortunately, there were no firearms on him at this time.

05:22His weapon is outside in his vehicle.

05:26Chief, what's his size? He's about 6'3".

05:286'3".

05:29320 pounds, 6'3".

05:33And again, this is Officer Banks and Officer Gibson there.

05:39This is the vehicle.

05:40Match the description perfectly given by Cartersville PD.

05:44He had pulled up right to the south, a domestic terminal.

05:46Parked here, would go down and go into another door.

05:49And then you'll see the officers approaching it,

05:51and then they'll recover the firearm,

05:53the semi-automatic assault rifle that he had with him.

05:56There were 27 rounds that could have been fired from this weapon inside the airport.

06:03This is exactly why we're here today, to encourage citizens to do their part,

06:07so they ever become aware.

06:08And again, acknowledge the family,

06:10acknowledge our partners at Cartersville Police Department for their work.
