Overview
- A passenger discovered a loaded gun magazine with ten hollow‑point rounds near seat 7A on a Frontier Airbus A320 during boarding for a return flight to Cincinnati at Hartsfield‑Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
- The magazine bore the initials “K H,” and the item was taken into Atlanta Police custody as part of an active investigation with the FBI notified.
- Officers coordinated with TSA, the Department of Aviation, Homeland Security, and APD K‑9 units to deplane travelers, sweep the aircraft, and re‑screen all passengers.
- No additional items of concern were found, and the flight departed safely just before 8 p.m. after roughly a four‑hour delay, with no injuries reported.
- Frontier said the ammunition belonged to a law‑enforcement officer from an earlier flight, a claim APD sources say has not been independently confirmed.
