		</div><p>Reports of shots fired at New York&#8217;s John F Kennedy International Airport caused evacuations, grounded flights and frightening moments for fliers before the reports were later determined to be unfounded.</p>
<p>&#8220;At this time, no firearm, rounds or shell casings or other evidence of shots fired has been found,&#8221; said Joe Pentangelo, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department.</p>
<p>Police evacuated Terminal 8 at around 9.30pm local time on Sunday (2.30am BST Monday) as a precaution after receiving reports of shots fired near the departures area.</p>
<p>New York Police Department officers were called in to help with the investigation.</p>
<p>A short time later, police closed Terminal 1 after they said they received additional reports of shots fired in that terminal. The Van Wyck Expressway approaching the airport was also shut down.</p>
<p>Passengers posted pictures and videos on Twitter showing crowds of people gathered outside the terminals.</p>
<p>According to flight tracking company FlightAware, all inbound flights were held at their origin until 11.30pm &#8220;due to security&#8221;.</p>
<p>Port Authority police said travellers should contact their carriers and warned of a &#8220;substantial PAPD and NYPD presence&#8221; at JFK and LaGuardia due to the investigation.<br />
No one was injured during the airport scare.</p>
