Man Killed at Cleveland Airpor
CLEVELAND, April 27 — Police officers responding to a disturbance at an airport ticket counter Thursday morning killed a passenger they said had grabbed an officer's gun and shot another officer in the chest, a city official said.
The man, Kenneth Calloway, 38, was a Cleveland resident with a long criminal history, including incarcerations on drug- and violence-related charges, Chief Michael McGrath of the Cleveland police said. Mr. Calloway had no apparent ties to terrorist organizations, Chief McGrath said.
The wounded officer, Steve Walker, 52, was in stable condition at MetroHealth Hospital. The bullet punctured his lung, broke several ribs and lodged next to his spine, said Dr. Charles Yowler, director of the MetroHealth trauma division.
Another officer, Daniel Kelly, was injured when Mr. Calloway bit him in the neck, Chief McGrath said.
The exact cause of the incident at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport was not known, the chief said.
Marty Flask, Cleveland safety director, said Mr. Calloway tried to buy a seat aboard a Delta Air Lines flight around 10:15 a.m. An argument began, Mr. Flask said, and Mr. Calloway became verbally abusive with Delta employees, who refused to sell him a ticket.
Mr. Calloway walked next door to the United Airlines counter, where he bought a ticket to Chicago, Mr. Flask said. Meanwhile, Delta employees called the police.
When the officers confronted Mr. Calloway, an argument quickly escalated into a physical struggle. Mr. Calloway bit Officer Kelly and somehow gained control of his 9-millimeter service handgun, police and city officials said. He shot Officer Walker once before two more police officers arrived on the scene and killed him.
Officer Walker, an 18-year veteran of the force, was not wearing his bulletproof vest as required, Chief McGrath said.
