Did this affect the airport directly yesterday or flights for that matter?

An off-duty New York State correction officer shot and killed a man last night near LaGuardia Airport after an apparent traffic dispute, police said.
The 36-year-old Queens man was shot once in the chest about 7 p.m. at the Grand Central Parkway service road and 94th Street, police said. He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The correction officer, traveling with a woman and child, was stopped behind another vehicle at a red light, police said. After the light changed, the correction officer, whose name was not released, honked his horn to get the vehicle in front to move, police said. Two men got out of the vehicle and approached the correction officer's car, police said.
One shot was fired by the officer, and the two men ran off, police said, but one man was able to run only a short distance before collapsing with a bullet wound to his chest. The second man was taken into custody by police for questioning.
No charges were filed last night.
