Panic at JFK over shots fired 911 calls: All passengers are evacuated from Terminal 8, flights are grounded and diverted amid huge police response – but authorities say there's no evidence of a shooting –A massive police presence had responded to reports of shots fired | 14 Aug 2016 | Police evacuated Terminal 8 at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport out of an 'abundance of caution' following reports of shots fired, but say investigators found no evidence of a shooting. Thousands of passengers were forced to evacuate the terminal shortly after 9.30pm as police searched for an alleged armed suspect on Sunday evening. However, no injuries were reported and flights due to land at JFK were diverted to Buffalo and those destined for the airport, in Queens, were grounded. Terminals 1 and 8 are closed and the Van Wyck Expressway approaching JFK Airport is also closed as a safety precaution.
