Loaded Magazine Found on Frontier Plane in Atlanta Prompts FBI Notification

Police have not confirmed Frontier’s claim that it belonged to an armed officer.

Overview

  • A passenger discovered a magazine with ten hollow-point rounds near seat 7A during boarding of Flight 4771 to Cincinnati at Gate C-6.
  • Atlanta police coordinated with TSA, Homeland Security, airport K-9 units and Frontier staff to deplane the Airbus A320, sweep the cabin and re-screen all travelers.
  • Officers reported no additional items of concern and no active threat, and the flight departed at about 7:56 to 8 p.m. the same evening.
  • The FBI was notified of the incident, and the magazine marked with the initials “K H” was taken into APD custody.
  • Frontier says a law-enforcement officer from an earlier flight left the ammunition, but investigators have not verified ownership and the inquiry remains open.
