DALLAS, TEXAS — A 37-year-old woman is in the hospital after police say she opened fire near the Southwest ticket counter at Dallas Airport this morning. The woman was dropped off at the airport and is then seen going inside, eventually making her way to the bathrooms. Police say she enters the bathroom and re-emerges with different clothing, then produces a handgun and starts firing.
A Dallas Police Officer was there and engaged the suspect quickly, striking her in the lower extremities. She was taken into custody and is currently at the hospital.
Video allegedly from the scene seems to show officers engaging the suspect, who cannot be seen on camera. This also seems to have taken place just outside one of the entrances to the airport.
