By The Associated Press:
LOS ANGELES — A gunman who killed a federal transportation security officer and wounded three other people during a rampage at Los Angeles International Airport in 2013 has been sentenced to life plus 60 years in prison.
The gunman, Paul A. Ciancia, was sentenced on Monday in federal court for the shootings that terrorized passengers and employees at the nation’s second-busiest airport and disrupted air travel nationwide.
Mr. Ciancia, an unemployed motorcycle mechanic from New Jersey, pleaded guilty to killing a Transportation Security Administration officer, Gerardo I. Hernandez, and to 10 other counts.
Prosecutors said Mr. Ciancia had shown no remorse for the killing and still clung to his beliefs that led to the attack, in which two other T.S.A. officers and a teacher headed to a wedding were wounded.
Addressing the court about what led up to the attack, Mr. Ciancia said that in 2012 he was sick of life and had decided to kill himself.
