A BAD DAY TO FLY OUT OF THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT ON SUNDAY. ALBUQUERQUE POLICE SHUT DOWN THE SUNPORT AND CAUSED DELAYS AND EVEN FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS FOR PASSENGERS.
APD SPOKESMAN OFFICER SIMON DROBIK SAYS A MAN MANAGED TO GET THROUGH TSA LINES BEFORE HE INJURED HIMSELF IN THE TERMINAL TRYING TO COMMIT SUICIDE. HE REPORTEDLY BROKE A MUG AND USED THE SHARDS TO HURT HIMSELF. HUNDREDS OF PASSENGERS EITHER MISSED THEIR FLIGHTS OR WERE DELAYED FOR TAKE OFF. INCOMING AND OUT-BOUND FLIGHTS WERE CANCELLED AS APD OFFICERS WORKED TO TAKE THE MAN INTO CUSTODY AND GET HIM HELP.
LUCKILY, THE SUNPORT IS NOW BACK TO A NORMAL SCHEDULE.
