The accused gunman who allegedly opened fire at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) last month, killing a TSA (Transportation Security Administration) officer and wounding three others, was arraigned in a California court on Thursday.

Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23, pleaded not guilty to nearly a dozen felony charges including murder and attempted murder, according to a report from USA Today.

The hearing was held at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, where Ciancia has been held without bail since his arrest. A trial date was set during Thursday's proceedings for Feb. 11. If found guilty, Ciancia may face the death penalty should prosecutors seek capital punishment in this case.

Thursday marks Ciancia's second court appearance in relation to the LAX shooting massacre that occurred in early November. On Dec. 4 he was indicted on 11 charges, including a single count of murder and two counts of attempted murder of federal officers, four counts of committing an act of violence in an international airport and four additional counts of firearms offenses, Reuters reports.

The indictment alleges that Ciancia entered LAX's Terminal 3 on Nov. 1, pulled a .223-caliber M&P-15 semiautomatic rifle out of a duffle bag and fired off several rounds.

Authorities say that Ciancia's first victim was TSA screener Gerardo Hernandez, who was shot at point blank range. After shooting Hernandez, Ciancia went on to continue his murder spree but returned to fire at Hernandez again after seeing him move. Hernandez is the first TSA officer to die in the line of duty.

Ciancia allegedly went on to wound two other TSA employees and one civilian, according to reports.  The melee came to an end when Los Angeles police arrived on the scene and shot Ciancia, injuring him. He was then taken into custody.

According to a report from CNN, authorities found a handwritten letter among Ciancia's belongings when he was arrested that was addressed to TSA employees. The letter allegedly said that the shooting was intended by Ciancia to "instill fear in your traitorous minds."

As a result of that letter, the indictment against Ciancia also accuses him of "substantial planning and premeditation to cause the death of a person and to commit an act of terrorism."
