BOSTON - The Boston Bruins' plane was diverted to Miami International Airport on Friday because of a shooting at the Fort Lauderdale airport.
An arriving airline passenger with a gun in his luggage opened fire in the baggage-claim area at the Fort Lauderdale airport, killing five people and wounding eight before surrendering to authorities.
The Bruins' plane landed in Miami shortly after 5 p.m. They are scheduled to play the Florida Panthers on Saturday.
In a statement the team said ''the thoughts and prayers of the Bruins organization are with the victims of today's shooting and the entire Fort Lauderdale community.''
