The 17-year-old was having a meal on the floor when she was attacked with a butcher knife Sunday. Officials say they aren't yet ruling out hate crime charges.

A man accused of stabbing a transgender 17-year-old girl with a butcher knife at Miami International Airport on Sunday was arrested and charged with attempted murder, police said.

Alexander Love, 29, was charged with first-degree attempted murder with a deadly weapon and attempted premeditated murder, according to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Officers responded to Terminal J around 11:30 p.m. after reports of a stabbing, officials said in a news release. The victim was eating a meal while sitting on the floor when, officials say, Love attacked her without provocation, stabbing her about 18 times in her face, head, arms, shoulders, neck and legs before he tried to throw her over a safety retaining glass, officials said.

If the terminal is all of it, what is the letter designated collection of gates called?

The gates. Or the gate area.

The buildings that provide access to the airplanes (via gates) are typically called concourses. However, the terms "terminal" and "concourse" are sometimes used interchangeably, depending on the configuration of the airport.

So it seems the final answer from Wikipedia is that a terminal is the whole thing, and a collection of gates is a concourse, but a concourse is also a terminal, even though the concourse is in the terminal, which means that terminals are in terminals, and the rate at which an airport grows large enough for their concourses to be terminals is called the “terminal velocity”.

Did I miss anything?

Maybe it's a regional thing.

I did forget the word concourse though. I wouldn't use it in casual conversation.

At this point, I’m not even sure airports are real.
