Two terminals at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport are resuming normal operations Monday morning after reports of shots fired prompted evacuations and grounded and diverted flights.
An all-clear was given Sunday night after Port Authority Police and the NYPD responded to reports of gunfire at the airport.
At about 9:30 p.m. Port Authority officers received a call saying there were shots fire at American Airlines’ Terminal 8 departures.
Police confirmed there were no shots fired, but it is still not clear what led to the chaos.
As a safety precaution, Terminals 1 and 8 were closed as officers swept the area. The airport was also under a security ground stop.
Police searched and cleared all terminals just before midnight, but did not find anything. All affected terminals resumed operations.
People who were stranded aboard their flights were able to leave the airport early Monday morning to head home or to hotels in Manhattan.
During the incident, a KLM flight on the tarmac deployed chutes and evacuated passengers.
