LAX shooter pleads guilty to murdering TSA officer

The man responsible for opening fire inside the Los Angeles International Airport in 2013 pleaded guilty to the charges Tuesday in federal court.
Paul Anthony Ciancia, 26, of Sun Valley, California, pleaded guilty to 11 counts related to his shooting spree that resulted in the death of an officer with the Transportation Security Administration and the injuring of three others.
“The guilty pleas entered in court today will hopefully bring some justice to the victims of this horrific attack that senselessly ended the life of a federal officer and injured several others,” said Eileen M. Decker, U.S. Attorney of the Central District of California.
According to his plea agreement, in the morning of Nov. 1, 2013, Ciancia modified two pieces of luggage and zip-tied them together to conceal a loaded rifle, which he bought earlier in the year along with 500 rounds of ammo and 10 magazines.
Later that morning, he entered LAX Terminal Three, removed the rifle and shot to death TSA Officer Gerardo Hernandez as he checked passengers’ travel documents.
Ciancia then went up stairs to a TSA checkpoint and fired his weapon at TSA Officers Tony Leroy Grigsby and James Maurice Speer as well as civilian Brian Ludmer. They all suffered serious injuries and required surgery, but survived the attack.
Still inside LAX, Ciancia passed by passengers hiding or fleeing during the attack and asked them if they were TSA and when they answered “no,” he continued without shooting them.
“If you made the conscious decision to put on a TSA costume and violate peoples’ rights this morning, I made the conscious decision to try to kill you this morning,” Ciancia said in a letter he wrote before the attack, according to his plea.
Decker added that Ciancia now faces a sentence of life-without-parole in federal prison.

That incident was a total hoax. No one was injured or killed.
His name was CIA-n-CIA…..? What?
I wonder what the odds are that a jury would convict someone for doing that?
