One thing I heard on a national news program was that LAX spend several million dollars on a communication system after 9/11, and it completely failed. So just a shout-out to those folks for yet again pissing away taxpayer money.
According to the report, a centralized command center was online 45 minutes after the start of the incident. The shooter was down 6 minutes after he started shooting. The report (see below) points up the lack of coordination in the command structure.

LAX hires cops straight from the mall, pays them all executive level money, then wonders why they cannot perform under pressure.
The toughest pressure they face is a captain lording over them to write more parking tickets or face working on Thanksgiving.
