Loaded gun magazine with inscription discovered on Frontier Airlines flight in Atlanta
A passenger discovered a loaded gun magazine with a mysterious inscription aboard a Frontier Airlines plane at a Georgia airport, sparking a multi-agency probe, according to authorities.
The traveler aboard the Airbus A320 aircraft at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport found a loaded magazine containing ten hollow-point rounds near seat 7A, around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, the Atlanta Police Department said in a statement on Wednesday.
The Frontier Airlines flight was at the gate for a return flight to Cincinnati when the magazine marked with the initials “K H” was found, cops said.
Officers coordinated with the TSA, DOA, Frontier Airlines, the Department of Homeland Security, and Atlanta Police K-9 units after the concerning magazine was reported, authorities added.
The aircraft was deplaned and thoroughly searched. TSA also re-screened all passengers aboard, according to police.
No additional items of concern were found, and the flight departed safely by 7:56 p.m., cops said.
The FBI has been notified of the incident.
Frontier Airlines told Fox5 that the loaded magazine belonged to a law enforcement officer who had flown on the same aircraft before the flight out of Atlanta.
“A subsequent investigation confirmed that the ammunition belonged to a law enforcement officer who was on an earlier flight on the same aircraft,” the airline told the outlet in a statement.
“The ammunition and magazine were taken into the custody of the Atlanta Police Department, and the property owner was referred to Atlanta P.D. to retrieve his items.”
An Atlanta police source, however, told the outlet that investigators have not yet confirmed that claim.
Frontier Airlines did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
“I’ve heard of a lot of delays, canceled flights, but I’ve never heard of this before. This is brand new,” traveler Terry Foster told the outlet.
The Atlanta Falcons are looking to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2017, and they’ll be relying on a new coaching staff to help them get there. But Kevin Stefanski is no rookie; he’s a two-time NFL Coach of the Year, only now he’ll be working with an entirely different group of personnel after coaching in Cleveland since 2020.
In addition to a new coach, the Falcons may have a different starting quarterback as Michael Penix Jr. continues to rehab last season’s torn ACL. He’ll also be competing with Tua Tagovailoa. Together, the Falcons believe they can compete for a playoff spot in the NFC South, but to do so, they’ll need all the help they can get. Unfortunately, the Falcons may not have everyone on hand to start the season.
According to The Athletic‘s Falcons insider Josh Kendall, the NFL is “likely” to suspend edge rusher James Pearce Jr.
Pearce faces three felony charges after an incident with his former girlfriend, WNBA player Rickea Jackson. Pearce’s charges are for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing the police, and resisting arrest with violence.
“Atlanta now appears to be waiting on the NFL to decide on Pearce. Under the league’s personal conduct policy, commissioner Roger Goodell has wide latitude to impose discipline regardless of the outcome of the criminal case. The league is likely to suspend Pearce. Steelers defensive back Cam Sutton was suspended eight games in 2024 after a domestic violence incident that began as a felony charge but was eventually reduced to a misdemeanor. Goodell could also place Pearce on the commissioner’s exempt list, which serves as an indefinite suspension while the league gathers more information.”
The Athletic’s Josh Kendall on James Pearce
Pearce is coming off an excellent rookie season that saw him record a team-high 10.5 sacks while starting three of his 17 appearances. The 26th overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft looks like he’s poised to be a star. Yet, now the 22-year-old may have to wait to start his second NFL season. The question is how long?
If Pearce is forced to miss time, the Falcons will be counting on others, such as fellow 2025 first-round pick Jalon Walker, to make a bigger impact. The 22-year-old Walker recorded 5.5 sacks, making nine sacks in 15 appearances.

I’ve also heard that Atlanta sees great value in Swain at No. 23, but the Hawks have been signaling for some time that they are prepared (and perhaps even prefer) to trade their second pick in the first round after No. 8 for future draft capital. It sounds as though Atlanta will invite external trade interest for that pick until it is actually on the clock to make the selection Tuesday night.
