(AP Photo\/Tony Gutierrez)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN NEWSROOM<br \/>UPDATED 5:10 PM PT \u2013 Monday, July 25, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>Authorities are investigating a shooting which prompted evacuations at Dallas Love Field Airport. The FAA ordered a ground stop at the airport shortly after 11 a.m. local time due to the active shooter situation. Dallas Chief of Police Eddie Garcia said 37-year-old Portia Odufuwa began firing a handgun and a police officer engaged the suspect. He claimed that the woman entered the airport and went into a restroom to change clothes. Garcia expressed that the woman exited the restroom wearing a hoody and opened fire. Most of the shots appeared to be directed toward the ceiling.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cAt this point, we don\u2019t know where exactly the individual was aiming,\u201d Garcia stated. \u201cFrom what we are seeing she was aiming at the ceiling. There are several rounds that were found.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>An officer working inside confronted Odufuwa and shot her in her lower extremities. The suspect was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital in an unknown condition. No further information about her or the motivation behind the shooting or who dropped her off at the airport has been confirmed by police. There were no other injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation is ongoing and Garcia said he expected elements to change as more is learned about what happened. Dallas Police said they do not plan to release any other statements until Tuesday afternoon. The Dallas FBI and ATF are assisting Dallas Police in the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting wasn\u2019t the first violent incident at the airport. In 2016, a police officer shot and wounded a man outside of Love Field after police said he advanced toward the officer with large landscaping rocks in his hands after battering his ex-girlfriend\u2019s car with a traffic cone and rocks as she dropped him off at the airport.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI\u2019m thankful to the Dallas Police Department, the Transportation Security Administration and the dedicated Love Field staff for their swift response in keeping people safe,\u201d City Council member Jesse Moreno voiced. \u201cThis is something they do every day for people who travel to and from Dallas.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Earlier I spoke with an eye witness who described what he and his wife saw inside at the ticketing counter.
