An "accidental discharge" of a firearm at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport caused chaos for travelers on Saturday.

Officials announced there was not an active shooter, after numerous social media posts indicated that passengers were evacuating parts of America's busiest airport. The Transporation Security Administration said early reports indicated that three people suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

"A property search TSO at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s (ATL) Main Checkpoint began a bag search due to a prohibited item identified by the X-Ray," the agency said Saturday. "He advised the passenger not to touch the property, and as he opened the compartment containing the prohibited item, the passenger lunged into the bag and grabbed a firearm, at which point it discharged. The passenger then fled the area, running out of the airport exit."
