A 37-year-old woman was shot by police after she allegedly fired a pistol inside Dallas Love Field Airport on July 25, authorities said.
Authorities told reporters that the woman, Portia Odufuwa, fired shots near a ticket counter while aiming at the ceiling.
A responding officer shot Odufuwa in the lower extremities before she was taken to the hospital, Dallas Police Chief Edgardo Garcia said at a news conference. There were no other injuries, he said.
“At this point, we don’t know where exactly this individual was aiming,” Garcia said in reference to where Odufuwa was allegedly shooting.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced a ground stop at the airport over the incident, which reportedly sent crowds of people running for the exits. The Dallas Police Department wrote on Twitter that the Dallas Love Field Airport terminal was “secure” right before noon local time….
