FAA Investigates Lasers Shined On Planes At La Guardia Airport (KLGA) New York, New York.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after lasers were pointed at two airplanes at LaGuardia Airport on Saturday night.

Officials say a laser was pointed at a Jetlink flight that was landing around 6 p.m. Saturday and another was pointed at a United plane about an hour later.

Both planes were approaching the same runway at LaGuardia.

FAA officials say they are trying to determine where the lasers came from.

The agency says laser beams can temporarily blind or distract pilots, and federal law prohibits any interference with an aircraft pilot.
