According to Frontier Airlines, the loaded magazine belonged to a law enforcement officer who had flown on the same aircraft before the flight out of Atlanta. The ammunition and magazine were taken into the custody of the Atlanta Police Department for further investigation.

While the airline claimed that the property owner was referred to retrieve his items, an Atlanta police source mentioned that investigators have not yet confirmed this claim.

Traveler Terry Foster expressed surprise at the incident, stating, “I’ve heard of a lot of delays, canceled flights, but I’ve never heard of this before. This is brand new.”
