Official says two U.S. airmen killed in Frankfurt Airport shooting

According to CNN, a suspect in the shooting of two U.S. airmen at the Frankfurt Airport has been taken into custody. The suspect is Arid Uka, from the northern town of Mitrovica, said Kosovo's interior minister, Bajram Rexhepi.

Uka approached the bus, which was parked outside Terminal 2 and marked as a U.S. military vehicle, German police said.

He first engaged U.S. military members in a conversation, then pulled out a handgun and began firing, first outside the bus and then inside the bus, police said.

A U.S. military official said the bus driver was among the dead. Both fatalities were U.S. Air Force airmen from Lakenheath base in Britain, the official said.

The two wounded were security forces who were on their way to a deployment, said the official who didn't want to be identified because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the incident. He wouldn't say where they were being deployed.

U.S. President Barack Obama told reporters he was "saddened and outraged" by the attack. "We will spare no effort in learning how this outrageous attack took place," he said, adding that the United States is working with German authorities.
