The man who allegedly shot and killed a TSA agent on duty at the Los Angeles International Airport in November has entered a plea of not guilty. Paul Ciancia faces 11 counts of attempted and first-degree murder charges in the death of Gerardo Hernandez, and could face a death sentence.

Ciancia's trial is expected to begin in February.
