Gun stolen along with checked bag from Atlanta airport

Stolen gun recovered after checked bag taken at ATL

ATLANTA A gun briefly ended up on the streets after police say it was stolen from the North Terminal baggage area at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Atlanta Police say the gun was taken along with a metro-Atlanta man’s checked bag and now that passenger is demanding answers from the airline.

“Checked my AirTag and it was about 10-15 miles away at a personal residence,” said Robert Smith. Inside of that bag was Smith’s gun.
