The man known to be at large was identified as Rodney Lorenzo Addison, 20. He was described only as a black male. Hackney urged residents to take care, saying that while it wasn't known whether Addison was still in the Jacksonville area, "this is a dangerous man — these detectives felt this enough that they used deadly force."
Travelers were allowed back into the airport's rental car area Wednesday afternoon. Aircraft departures and landings weren't affected, the Jacksonville Aviation Authority said.

One person was shot, a second was in custody and at least one other was being sought Wednesday after a Hollywood-style car chase with police bullets flying at the Jacksonville, Fla., airport, authorities said.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said the incident may have been related to a shooting near Highlands Elementary School. It gave no further information, but NBC station WTLV of Jacksonville reportedthat the lockdown, which was imposed as a precaution, was lifted Wednesday afternoon.
The second shooting occurred in the rental car garage at Jacksonville International Airport about 2:20 p.m. ET, said Jacksonville Sheriff’s Chief Tom Hackney, who described a car chase that resembled Hollywood fiction

Police stated to Action News that when officers approached the car, the driver tried to run over police officers.
"Their fear of the detectives at the scene was this is a subject that had already attempted to strike two other officers," said JSO Chief Tom Hackney, "The public safety is at risk. That is why the use of deadly force was employed."
The shooting suspects fled to a Northside apartment complex almost six miles away. Police were able to apprehend two suspects there, one of whom is a 17-year-old with a bullet wound to his ankle. Police say he's the suspect they shot at the airport. Neither of the men arrested was carrying a weapon and police did not find one inside their car.
Police are looking for a third suspect who they identified as 20-year-old Rodney Addison. Officials are asking anyone with information on Addison's whereabouts to call authorities.
