TSA continues to stop move firearms at Pittsburgh International Airport.

That's the third gun detected at the airport last week.

The handgun loaded with six bullets was among the man's carry-on items.

On Tuesday TSA spotted a loaded gun and on Sunday nabbed a revolver.

A TSA Spokesperson says Pittsburgh International is about to set a new record for guns detected in a single year with three months to go in 2023.

35 guns were stopped in 2019 and as of October 1, 33 guns have been stopped at Pittsburgh International Airport.
