( CNN ) -- Authorities investigating a shooting at Los Angeles International Airport asked for patience Saturday as they piece together details of the rampage that left a Transportation Security Administration officer dead . The statement released jointly by federal and local authorities came one day after The Associated Press , citing two unnamed law enforcement officials , reported the slain TSA officer lay bleeding for 33 minutes because police had not declared the terminal safe for paramedics to enter . Authorities have charged Paul Ciancia , 29 , in the death of TSA officer Gerardo Hernandez , who was shot in the chest and abdomen during the November 1 shooting at Terminal 3 . The joint statement did not directly address the AP report , but it defended the actions of authorities that day . `` Command officers and airport administrators were faced with a wide range of important objectives , including conducting a complete search to rule out additional gunmen or explosives , identifying and treating all injured victims , and coordinating the needs of the thousands of arriving and departing travelers that were impacted by the incident , '' the statement said . Federal and local authorities will offer no further comment beyond the statement while the investigation is ongoing , said LAPD spokeswoman Sally Madera . The AP reported that while it was unknown when Hernandez died , officials were examining whether paramedics , who were reportedly held 150 yards away from the terminal by police , could have gone in earlier . `` Various statements have been made regarding the incident , some of which are untrue and others that merit serious consideration by our respective agencies , '' the Saturday statement said . `` Numerous actions are underway relative to this incident and the ensuing response . '' According to the joint statement , authorities are conducting a federal criminal investigation and an officer-involved shooting investigation . An after-action work group is also analyzing all aspects of the `` multidiscipline response . '' Key findings of the investigations will be released when they are completed , it said . Hernandez , 39 , was the first TSA officer killed in the line of duty in the agency 's 12-year-history . According to authorities , Ciancia walked up to the TSA checkpoint where Hernandez was working and opened fire , shooting him `` at point-blank range , '' according to a court document . Ciancia then went up an escalator toward the security checkpoint , but returned to shoot Hernandez again after apparently seeing the officer move , the document said . The rampage came to an end when authorities shot and wounded Ciancia , who has been charged with the murder of a federal officer and commission of violence at an international airport .
CNN is reporting that a police officer killed during a shooting at home lay bleeding for 33 hours . Authorities investigating the shooting did not respond directly to the report . Officials issued joint statements saying various statements have been made , some untrue .
