Parts of the terminal reportedly went into lockdown while the rest was evacuated, and all flights were grounded following the incident.

A man was arrested at the scene by police shortly after.

A number of journalists at the airport posted images and video of the aftermath, showing windows damaged by what appear to be gunshots, and police questioning travellers who were in the terminal at the time.
