At least one terminal at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport was evacuated "as a precaution" late Sunday as police investigated an unconfirmed report of shots fired.
The initial report came in at around 9:30 p.m., The Associated Press reports. But more than two hours later, there was no confirmation that a shooting had occurred. No injured were reported, local law enforcement officials said.
Still, the report sparked a flurry of police activity. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said a partial evacuation was ordered "as a precaution," NBC News reported. A ground stop was also ordered for planes at the airport.
"There are no reported injuries or arrests at this time," Port Authority said in a statement. "We have no actual confirmation of shots fired."
