DALLAS, TX– A 37-year-old woman was shot by police after she began shooting inside of an airport.
The incident occurred inside of the Love Field Airport on Monday around 11:00 a.m.
Authorities say the woman, who was dropped off at the airport, went into one of the restrooms and changed her clothes.
She was said to have exited the restroom in a hooded sweatshirt and began firing a gun at the ceiling.
An officer who was nearby, shot the woman in her “lower extremities,” wounding her enough to be taken into custody.
Services were suspended for most of the day following the incident.
The Transportation Safety Administration tweeted around 2:00 p.m. that they have resumed normal security checkpoints.
A motive for the shooting is unknown.
