US Senator Wants Answers About Gun at Airport

WBAY – After a Waupaca woman finds a loaded handgun in Cleveland's airport, some members of Congress demand answers.

Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown says, "This incident was a serious breach of public safety, and we were fortunate that a more disastrous result did not occur."

He goes on to say, "The agency has an immediate response system in place to review cases like this one, and I've asked that it complete a thorough investigation."
