Suspect in custody after shooting at Dallas Love Field Airport

A woman is in custody after police say she fired a gun at Dallas Love Field on Monday morning.

The last: The woman, identified by police as 37-year-old Portia Odufuwa, got off near the southwest ticket counter at Love Field around 11 a.m., Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia said at a news conference.

• After going to the women’s bathroom, she emerged wearing what appeared to be a hoodie and began shooting into the ticket counter area with a handgun, according to police.
• An officer shot and struck her “lower extremities,” and the suspect was then taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital for treatment and remains in police custody, according to Garcia.
• No one else was injured during the incident.

State of the game: The shooting quickly led to a nightmare for travelers and airport officials.

• A ground stop was issued and flights preparing to land were diverted to other airports.
• Flights that had already boarded and were preparing for takeoff were instructed to stay put.

Threat level: Hundreds of people, including airline workers and airport staff, were told to evacuate the airport so law enforcement could conduct a security sweep.

• Once the building was deemed secure, TSA screened everyone before letting them into the airport.
• Dozens of flights were either canceled or delayed.

rollback: It could be worse.

• In 2013, a man walked into a security checkpoint at Los Angeles International Airport, fatally shooting a TSA officer and injuring three others.
• LAX passengers had to be evacuated and rescreened. Over 167,000 people were affected by cancellations, delays or diversions to other airports due to the shooting.
• The man is now serving a life sentence.
