Mike Winchester, the father of Kansas City Chiefs long snapper James Winchester, was shot and killed outside of Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Mike Winchester, a 52-year-old employee of Southwest Airlines, punted at Oklahoma in 1984 and 1985.
Police and airport officials closed the complex after the 1 p.m. shooting and directed that people inside the terminal take shelter. At late afternoon, officers said the agency would begin moving people outside of the building, which handles between 7,000 and 8,000 passengers daily for Alaska, Delta, Southwest and United airlines.
Video from a television station helicopter showed what appeared to be a pool of blood near the bottom of a ramp leading from the airport's departure area.
