Jon apparently hopped a U.S. Airways flight from the East Coast this morning to Los Angeles. While Jon was airborne, the shootings occurred at LAX at about 9 a.m. local time, and the airport was shut down. According to another passenger on Jon's flight, who tweeted two photos of Jon, the plane was diverted to Phoenix. Jon sat in coach, and the passenger described him as "cool as sh&t."

As of press time LAX has reopened most terminals, but hundreds of flights are cancelled or delayed. The person tweeting the updates said he had not heard when they will be able to take off again and get into L.A. At one point they reboarded the plane in Phoenix, sat on the runway for 45 minutes, and then deplaned again.  Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins was also on the ill-fated flight.
