Los Angeles Airport shooting suspect Paul Anthony Ciancia spent a few months at this apartment block in the city.

His former room-mate James Mincey says he had lunch with the 23-year-old just a week earlier.

(SOUNDBITE)(English) JAMES MINCEY, FORMER ROOM MATE OF LA SHOOTING SUSPECT, SAYING:

"He was...nothing that I would think...what I would consider normal Paul, you know? He said he was going back to Jersey, going to work for his dad and making amends with his family problems, like whatever, and spending the holidays with his family and that's all I know."

An unarmed federal security agent was killed when a lone gunman opened fire in a packed terminal at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday.

At least one other person was wounded.

Others were hurt in the panic and chaos as people fled for cover.

The alleged gunman is undergoing hospital treatment after he was shot and captured at the airport.
