Terminal at Oakland Airport closed because of police response

Authorities rushed to the Oakland International Airport early Tuesday morning for an incident that has closed one of the terminals, airport officials said.

Details were not available immediately, but the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office confirmed they were at the scene, and airport officials said Terminal One was closed and that passengers had been evacuated.

It was unclear immediately what prompted the closure, but scanner reports indicated a person was in the terminal with a knife.

No other information was available immediately.
