Victim of LAX shooting on guns:

A teacher who was wounded in last week's deadly shooting at Los Angeles International Airport said he crawled to escape a gunman and used a sweatshirt as a tourniquet after a bullet ripped his leg.

<snip>

Ludmer, who was heading to his hometown of Chicago to attend a weekend wedding, said he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and called the gunman "sick," mentally ill and delusional.

"But whether you're sick or not, I don't see any lawful purpose for having access to those sorts of weapons," he said. "I don't see the benefit that is outweighing the cost that it seems to be continually taking."

Ludmer needs one more surgery but doctors expect him to make a full recovery. Two other TSA agents wounded in the attack have been released from the hospital.
