A 21-year-old man is facing a charge of aggravated assault after allegedly spitting on a police officer while responding to what he thought was an active shooter at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Police said Cole Nenon arrived at the airport’s Terminal 4 with multiple firearms just hours after a shooting that injured two men and left a woman in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
