Panicked passengers rushed past checkpoints leading to about half of the gates at Orlando International Airport after the man jumped, resulting in the checkpoint closures and delays.
The TSA officer in his 40s died from an apparent suicide, according to the Orlando Police Department, which described it as an isolated incident.

I hope this didn't have anything to do with the shutdown, but if it did, Trump's stupid stunt now has a body count.
Poor man. RIP
