People have described being scared for their lives, while others couldn't believe something like it could happen in Canberra, after a gunman fired several shots in the terminal.
Canberra Airport was evacuated for several hours after five gunshots were fired by a reportedly "calm" gunman. The shots hit glass windows, and police said they were not aimed at anyone. No one was physically hurt and a man - who police say was acting alone - is in custody.
