HOUSTON (AP) – Passengers catching early-morning flights have been told to evacuate Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport.

According to an Associated Press journalist going through the checkpoint, Transportation Security Administration workers shouted "Shut it down! Everyone leave!" at about 4:35 a.m., forcing hundreds of people to evacuate.

Police referred questions to a command center, which had no immediate comment.
