Meanwhile, the passengers in the terminal were told over the PA system to lie down on the floor, and all the entrances and exits to the airport were closed down.
Passengers reported hearing gunfire, which later turned out to be shots the security guards fired at the driver.
According to passengers who spoke to the media, they remained on the floor for ten minutes.
